The quest to acquire knowledge is divine. It has evolved over many centuries. For some, it is easy while for some it is not. For everyone, it is a mixture of hard work, pain, disappointments, misery and eventual success. Travelling overseas for studies meant a lot of trouble which included cumbersome passport systems and trip by a ship which would sail for weeks.
However, with the aeroplane, digital visa and passport processes, things have been simplified, and travel processes have further been made secure. The security of the processes has made the quest for greener pasture, particularly travelling overseas to study, seek for firms and individuals that meet their expectations.
Gabstep Services Nigeria happens to fit perfectly into this mould and has set out to help Nigerians who are angling to study overseas, especially in Canada.
Gabstep Nigeria recently held a training programme for its staff from across the South-West of Nigeria to acquaint them with the vision and mission of the company. It was a convivial atmosphere where the staff members gathered in Ibadan, in their categories, to learn, acquire and share experiences with a view to bring the services of Gabstep Nigeria closer to deserving clients.
The CEO of Gabstep Nigeria, a travel and education tourism expert, Mr. Omoegbe Stephen Oziegbe, in his speech at the training, said Nigeria can actually benefit from the current quest by many of its citizens to seek quality education and greener pasture overseas, especially in Canada, which is the forte of his company.
Mr. Stephen Oziegbe said there are enormous benefits from the current quest by Nigerians to study abroad. He said it is a good thing to see the world and learn, and that in the long run, the country would be the better for it.
Stephen noted that getting clients satisfied and properly settled in their countries of choice was the goal at Gabstep. He added that there were numerous juicy benefits for deserving staff members as they build their bases and attract more clients to the company.
He said: “Getting client visas approved is a thing of joy for us and the many successes recorded in this have spurred us to do more. So we are opening more offices in Ibadan, Abuja, Benin and Lagos and other regions to be able to reach out to more people for them to realise their potentials.”
On Nigerians trooping to foreign countries referred to as Japa Syndrome among the populace, Stephen noted that that is where the education tourism, which is the forte of his company, is and they are there to assist.
“People that go out of the country to study bring back the knowledge to help grow the country’s economy. This is not ordinarily a bad decision.
“When we say japa, I don’t think it means that a man will leave his homeland forever. He will definitely come back to feed the country with the knowledge he had acquired. So there are benefits to acquire the best of knowledge, come back and help the country. That is what Gabstep is out to promote.”
Dr. Rose Ozegbe in a lecture entitled “Customer Acquisition and Relationship Management” charged the Gabstep staff on the need to ensure robust relationship and impeccable handling of clients, saying this was very important.
Ozegbe of the Department of Banking and Finance, University of Ibadan, called on Gabstep workers to take the business as their own and key into the vision and the benefits to be able to reap the numerous benefits in the venture.
