The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), in collaboration with Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited and Beam Energy, in partnership with Hamaston Limited, has commenced a specialised training programme for six Nigerian graduates under the Community Electrification Interdependent Project.
The programme was officially launched at a kick-off ceremony held on Tuesday at Hamaston Limited’s headquarters on Ogbatai Street, Woji, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Speaking on behalf of the Executive Secretary of NCDMB, Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe (FNSE, FIPS), the Manager, Human Capacity Development, Mrs. Tarilate Teide Biribena, described the initiative as a strategic intervention under the Board’s Project-Based Human Capital Development framework. She said the programme was designed to bridge critical skills gaps and strengthen indigenous technical capacity within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
Mrs. Biribena explained that the training is aimed at producing confident, competent and industry-ready professionals, noting that it aligns with the NCDMB’s 10-Year Strategic Roadmap, which places Technical Capability Development as a core pillar.
Addressing the trainees, she urged them to demonstrate discipline, focus and resilience throughout the programme, stressing that the knowledge and tools acquired are intended to drive value creation and operational excellence across the industry. She described the initiative as a platform for nurturing future industrialists, innovators and change agents who would contribute to closing Nigeria’s skills gap locally.
Representatives of Beam Energy and Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited also reaffirmed their commitment to the success of the programme, encouraging both trainees and facilitators to ensure high-quality engagement and measurable outcomes.
They assured the participants of continuous support throughout the training period and charged the graduates to maximise the opportunity by adding tangible value to the nation’s energy sector.
