PEM OFFSHORE Training Centre: “We Need Support from Nigerians and Government”

“Our appeal is for the government to recognise us. We have been able to get here mainly because Chevron Nigeria Ltd has been a very big supporter of Pem Offshore. It was like a dream when we went to Chevron; they gave us a contract without ever seeing anything on the ground,” says Phillips Matthews, Senior Vice President (Americas/Africa) of PEM OFFSHORE GROUP.

“They believed in my dream and they knew that we were professionals. They had worked with us for over 4 years and so they said they would give us the support that we wanted. Unfortunately the government and the banks in Nigeria who you meet and share your dreams with don’t want to back you up.”
