During the graduation ceremony of the fresh batch of 73 beneficiaries under the 2022 Batch B at the WEPSS Training Centre, Federal Lighter Terminal, Onne Port last weekend, INTELS also presented a business support grant of N2 million to the Best Graduating Student and start-up kits to 15 other Outstanding Graduating Students.

The company also donated 1,000 garments to the Centre for Legal Support and Inmates Rehabilitation (CELSIR) – a Non-governmental Organisation (NGO) focused on providing legal support for indigent inmates and victims of human rights violations. CELSIR equally provides rehabilitation support to inmates from their days behind bars to assisting with reintegration.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the managing director, INTELS Nigeria Limited, Pasquale Fiore, said, WEPSS is part of the vision of the Group Chairman of INTELS, Mr. Gabriele Volpi, to support and empower Nigerian women.
