Speaking at the ceremony were the various Heads of the Departments (HoDs) to which the trainees were attached. The HoDs commended the students for their demonstrated commitment to the GNBS, shown by their punctuality, attendance and their desire to participate and become knowledgeable about the activities conducted by the organisation.
Lisa Ahmad, Head Human Resource and Administration commended the students for aligning and conducting themselves with the GNBS core values of accountability, synergy, professionalism, innovation, respect and efficiency. She encouraged the students to take these values with them throughout their professional and personal lives for continued success.
Further, the trainees were encouraged by Shailendra Rai, Head of Product Compliance Department to take note of what is occurring in the local oil industry.
He urged them to do their research and to be engaged in the relevant studies to align themselves for employment in this major industry or supporting industries.
On behalf of their counterparts, Meusa and Douglas thanked the GNBS for the amazing experience they had with the organisation.
They both alluded that during this first experience of work they benefitted significantly from the knowledge freely imparted by staff of the GNBS.
