Local Content Roundtable to Enhance Nigeria's Capacity

The Local Content Roundtable, part of the Practical Nigerian Content (PNC) Forum 2026, will take place on November 30 at the Nigerian Content Tower in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Titled “Building Sustainable Local Capacity: Scaling Capability, Enabling Ownership and Funding Growth,” the session will gather lawmakers, regulators, and private-sector leaders to discuss enhancing Nigeria's local content capabilities and funding growth.

The discussions will focus on the skills, technology, and industrial capacity developed over the past 16 years, addressing whether these capabilities can extend beyond Nigeria's borders and endure beyond the projects that financed them. Wemimo Oyelana, Portfolio and Country Director of dmg events, stated that the Roundtable aims to shift the focus from merely celebrating local-content percentages to building measurable and sustainable capacity.

Key topics will include the costs of sustainable capacity, the role of funding in supporting local businesses, and ensuring that investments contribute to long-term industrial growth in Nigeria.
