Representing the President of Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, the second deputy president of PHCCIMA, Engr Godwin Etim has described as a welcome development the dialogue on collaboration with China- Nigeria vocational institute following its mutual benefit to the two countries.

Engr Etim made this assertion shortly after the meeting held at Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt.

The meeting brokered by the Council and Management of Garden City Premier Business School and North-South Global Academy Limited (Nigeria), witnessed a MEET-and-GREET session with foreign partners Shandong University of Engineering and Vocational Technology (China), and Beijing Zhonghui Suiyue Technology Co. Limited (China).
Apparently the meeting was an important dialogue to introduce the China-Nigeria Vocational Institute, which aims to enhance technical education and vocational training, thereby equipping businesses with the necessary skills for improved performance and productivity.
The initiative is said to emerge from identified significant challenges related to productivity stemming from a lack of adequate essential skills and qualified manpower.

PHCCIMA President, Dr Chinyere Nwoga ably represented by the second deputy President, Chief Engr Godwin Etim showed huge presence giving valuable insights and expertise as the leading organized private sector in the state.
The initiative according to participants is strategic as it aligns with shared goal of fostering skill development and promoting industrial productivity and growth in Nigeria.
