NCDMB and Renaissance Launch Training for 60 Nigerians

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), in collaboration with Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited, has launched a 12-month training program at Nigeria Machine Tools Limited in Osogbo, Osun State. This initiative aims to equip 60 young Nigerians with specialized skills in oil and gas engineering and other technical areas.

Dr. Obinna Ezeobi, General Manager of Corporate Communications at NCDMB, stated that the program is part of the Nigerian Content Human Capacity Development Training Programme for Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited’s EPU Phase 2 Gas Development Project. The curriculum includes engineering design, fitter machining, machine tool operations, programming, CAD, CAM, electrical and mechanical maintenance, and document control.

The program consists of six months of classroom instruction followed by six months of supervised on-the-job training. Graduates will receive internationally recognized certifications.

Mr. Richard Oyiborhor from Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited emphasized the company's commitment to developing local talent. The initiative traces its origins to 2024 when NCDMB approved the training plans.
