NCDMB concludes training on structural steel fabrication in oil sector

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has concluded a three-week training on capacity building in structural steel fabrication for oil and gas projects in Port Harcourt.

The training, which drew participants from diverse backgrounds, was aimed at equipping them with critical skills in structural steel fabrication, a key component in the oil and gas industry.

The representative of the NCDMB, Prince Zubai, urged participants to maximize the skills acquired, highlighting the board’s dedication to developing local content and capacity in the oil and gas sector.

He emphasised that the training aligns with the NCDMB’s mandate to ensure that Nigerians are equipped to participate meaningfully in the industry.

Key highlights of the training include skill development, where participants gained hands-on experience in structural steel fabrication, to enhance their employability in the oil and gas sector.

Another highlight was industry partnership, which underscored NCDMB’s commitment to fostering collaborations with industry stakeholders to drive local content development.

Speaking at the programme, Director of Kinetium, Ulari Nwaogazie, expressed gratitude to NCDMB for the opportunity to partner in the training.

She emphasised the importance of capacity building in driving the growth of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

The training is part of NCDMB’s broader initiative to train over 10,000 youths in high-demand skills in the oil and gas industry, as announced earlier by the board’s Executive Secretary, Felix Omatsola Ogbe.

The initiative aimed at bridging the skill gap and preparing Nigerian youths for emerging opportunities in the sector.
