Bristow
Helicopters recently gave a huge boost to the prospect of getting more young
Nigerians into following a career in the aviation industry when it joined
forces with Travel & Business News, organisers of the National Travel Essay
Competition (NTEC) in an effort to ameliorate the clear and present challenge
of skilled manpower shortage and ageing workforce in the sector. The company accepted
to be the Title Sponsor of the annual contest which was then rechristened as
the 5th Bristow Helicopters/Travel & Business News National Travel Essay
Competition (NTEC 2013/2014).
During
a courtesy call to the rotor operator’s office, winners of this year’s contest
were congratulated and presented with cash prizes by the company’s Human
Resources Manager, Mr. Femi Collins, who represented the Managing Director. The

top five in the Tertiary Institutions Category.
