Address the gathering at the official opening of the centre, Minister of Public Health, Volda Lawrence said that this initiative is one which demonstrates the community taking the necessary steps to develop and prepare for the upcoming oil and gas industry in 2020.
The minister also noted that establishment of the centre will assist in the government’s commitment to providing an opportunity to improve the skills of youths in the neighbourhood.
“I hope that this initiative is one that the community representatives continue to develop and gives them the incentive to push for other initiatives which will help in the development of the nation’s future leaders,” Minister Lawrence said.
