The Hybrid Group, a health, safety, and environment company, says it has trained 15 youths on safety in oil and gas and other sectors of the economy.

In a statement, it was disclosed that the 15 young Nigerians were selected from nine states across Nigeria under the Dapo Omolade Empowerment Initiative through a rigorous process with hundreds of applications from all over the country.

According to Dapo Omolade, the DOME Initiative was set out to provide sustainable structures for society through building relevant competencies in HSE and sustainability that will empower Nigerian youths through human capacity and career development in the energy sector.

Omolade noted that the importance of the initiative was to build HSE and sustainability careers for Nigerian youths, to make the workplaces and society at large safe for dwelling while also enhancing economic development and growth for Nigeria.

“From what we have put together and delivered to these great Nigerians, we are confident that they are more than ready for the workplace now. Indeed, a lot of them who graduated have been gainfully employed as safety professionals, just a few weeks after completing their programme.

“Let me also say that those who participated in the TSD 1.0 to 3.0 are all engaged today in workplaces in Nigeria and outside, making great impacts,” he stated.

Also, the Director General/Chief Executive Officer, Lagos State Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Majola, commended the DOME Initiative as well as the Hybrid Group.

He said, “Your commitment to this programme over time, which provides HSE training free of charge to deserving participants, speaks volumes about your sense of responsibility, both personal and corporate.

Your efforts reflect a profound understanding that empowering individuals with skills in safety management is an investment in the future of our state and the nation at large.”
