Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), Kabir Mohammed, yesterday, handed over 13 vehicles to the management of the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun-Warri in Delta State to facilitate its operations.
The vehicles were handed over to the principal of the PTI, Mr. Raymond Akpojivi, by the PTDF scribe, who was represented by the Head of External Relations, Mr. Kalu Otisi, in the institute's premises.
He explained that following his assumption of office as the executive secretary of the Fund in 2006, the infrastructural implementation process was revamped and re-focused, as could be seen in the several projects, ranging from supply of laboratory equipment, construction of new laboratories and hostels to electrical and Information Technology infrastructure, as well as renovation of projects going on in the school.
"I am happy to note that, as far as we at the PTDG are concerned, the PTI upgrade is on track and majority of these projects will be completed and handed over by the end of 2008.
This handover process will commence today (yesterday) when I shall be formally handing over the PTI operational vehicles to the PTI management", he said in his address shortly before the handover ceremony.

Vanguard observed that massive infrastructural work was going on in the school but, shockingly, it was observed that the students have been out of school for seven months due to the work on the hostels, lecture halls, staff quarters, which appear to have been awarded at the same time, instead of in phases, as expected.
