An educative panel session was held to enlighten the youths on various career and business sectors, including:
• FINANCE

• BUSINESS
• MARITIME
FINANCE
The Finance session, anchored by Brother Nonye Obijiaku, centred on how to invest properly by buying stocks and shares from credible sources. He encouraged the youths to make good use of the internet to properly research and verify the credibility of companies before investing in their stocks or shares.
Very importantly, he emphasised the need to avoid fast money-making schemes with unrealistic profit margins.
OIL & GAS
The Oil & Gas session, anchored by Sister Favour, educated the youths on the various ways to navigate the sector, with or without capital. She explained that the Oil & Gas sector is lucrative and forms a vital part of the global economy.
She, however, stated the need to be knowledgeable about some basic aspects of the sector, such as quality control and the use of basic equipment for testing. In conclusion, she also stressed the importance of knowing the Lord, as that is the first key to success in every career or business sector.
BUSINESS
The Business session was anchored by Brother Chidubem. This session was an eye-opener to young and intending entrepreneurs on the core purpose of business, which is to solve problems and create value.
SEE IT - START IT - GROW IT
• Look out for opportunities and problems within your location and beyond.
• Do not wait for the perfect time to start; start small.
• Growth in business requires discipline, good customer service, and profit maximisation.
MARITIME
The last speaker anchored the Maritime session, educating the youths on what the sector is all about. He explained that the maritime sector is quite demanding and requires diligence, hard work, loyalty, and, most importantly, prayers.
He also stated that the sector contributes significantly to the nation’s revenue. The sector involves shipping, logistics, ports, and terminals, as well as the legal processes involved in imports, exports, and the clearing of goods.
Indeed, the panel session was a great time of learning, enlightenment, and empowerment for the youths!
