Whilst disclosing that out of the 20 trainees that started the programme, only seven successfully concluded it due to financial constraint, Pori, explained that a flexible payment of stipends of five thousand naira per trainee, was allowed because SUVTC already subsidized the hitherto huge cost implications.           

The Instructor, who can be reached via mobile phone on  08037417890, stated that SUVTC, has accommodation for prospective trainees living outside Warri.
