DMTP PLANT TOUR AT THE ASEJIRE PLANT, IBADAN


DMTP-Defining My Tomorrow Project is sponsored by NBC (Nigerian Bottling Company) in partnership with Junior Achievement Nigeria (JAN) which is centered on providing  150 secondary school students from government schools the opportunity to learn about the various career options open to them and encourage them to develop interest about their career choice. Beyond this overarching objective is the need to inspire these children to begin to dream big and become change agents, in spite of the many challenges they face.  It includes a plant tour event which enables the students to have a hands-on experience on what the workplace entails. It is always a very interesting and wonderful experience for the students
