Bristow have been doing exactly that in Nigeria for years. Suitably qualified nationals were sent to Redhill, now to Bristow Academy, to train to commercial level and return to Nigeria to fly offshore.
Entirely correct and primarily because they have contracts in Nigeria and could use well trained locals. As SilverHawk had mentioned he did not believe he was qualified for one of Bristow's programs because of his degree specialty. The oil companies doing work there may also be a possible place to look since they have an obligation in their agreements to spend some of the profits on community development projects.
@SilverHawk, I fully agree that many countries and companies send Billions to countries in Africa on grants and loans and that includes Nigeria. That has always struck me as odd being that Nigeria is a major oil exporter. Seems like the people of Nigeria need to do some housecleaning.
