The 2024 OPM Free Skills Acquisition Scheme screening exercise was massive, with hundreds of applicants at the church headquarters in Port Harcourt on Monday.
A video on the church Facebook page shows hundreds of applicants waiting to be screened at Mbodu, In Alu, Port Harcourt.
The church foundation OPM Foundation runs the scheme, which provides humanitarian aid to the poor. The scheme offers free training to all trainees.
Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, the church’s founder, told REPORT AFRIQUE that all trainees’ fees are paid by OPM tithes and offerings.
OPM believes in giving back to society and people. Thus, the OPM church’s foundation offers many humanitarian programs, including the Free Skill Acquisition Scheme. REPORT AFRIQUE quoted Pastor Chinyere.
