PTDF Tells Federal Government To Force Oil Companies To Employ Nigerians by LaurelP(m): 5:42pm On Aug 03, 2015 |
The Petroleum Technology Development Fund, PTDF, has called on the Federal Government to make both local and International Oil Companies (IOC) operating in the country to employ more Nigerian oil and gas professionals. Speaking at the Close Out seminar in Abuja, Executive Secretary of the Fund, Mr. Femi Ajayi, lamented the fact that it's not fair for Nigerian professionals to burn the candle, work hard and graduate with flying colours then end up unemployed. According to him, the Federal Government needs to put in place, measures that will ensure that both local and international oil companies employ indigenous professionals, especially scholars of the PTDF scholarship scheme. He said, “The issue is not just competence and capability, there is also the need for political will among the IOCs and the government. We cannot rely on the goodwill of the IOCs when it comes to the issue of employing of our people; they have to be compelled to do it.” He emphasized the need for all stakeholders in the petroleum industry to contribute their quota towards ensuring that indigenous professionals are gainfully engaged and also that the funds and efforts expended in training these professionals are not futile.

OP which one is Force again? Is URGE now the same as force? PTDF urges oil companies to employ Nigerians 03 August 2015, Abuja – The Petroleum Technology Development Fund, PTDF, has called on the Federal Government to compel both local and international oil companies, IOC, operating in the country to employ Nigerian oil and gas professionals. Speaking at the Close Out seminar of the 2012/2013 Annual Oil and Gas research Grant competition in Abuja, Executive Secretary of the Fund, Mr. Femi Ajayi, lamented the fact that after excelling in their studies and having undergone rigorous and world class training in both local and international institutions, majority of the professionals ended up without jobs. According to him, the Federal Government should put in place measures that will ensure that both local and international oil companies engage indigenous professionals, especially scholars of the PTDF scholarship scheme. He said, “The issue is not just competence and capability, there is also the need for political will among the IOCs and the government. We cannot rely on the goodwill of the IOCs when it comes to the issue of employing of our people; they have to be compelled to do it.” He emphasized the need for all stakeholders in the petroleum industry to contribute their quota towards ensuring that indigenous professionals are gainfully engaged and also that the funds and efforts expended in training these professionals are not futile. “When we train all these people, give them the research competence and the experience that they have, there is the issue of getting them gainfully engaged locally. ‘There are certain roles that government should play and the role that the private sector needs to play; everyone needs to play their individual roles, because at the end of the day, if we put so much money to train these people, yet it does not lead to domestication of some of these things that we want domesticated, it means we are just spending money, we are not getting the results,” he noted. Ajayi, however, commended the federal Government for setting up the Nigerian Content Development Management Board, NCDMB, urging the government to empower the agencies and others to deliver on the mandate. Continuing, he said, “There is no running away from funding, training, research and development. It is not by accident that the most technological advanced countries in the world, they have the best communication systems, they have the most reliable power systems, they have the most efficient transport systems, and it is not by accident. So if you want any of these things, you must fund training, you must fund research and development.” Also speaking, Mr. Taiye Haruna, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, commended the PTDF for its role in growing capacity and ensuring manpower development in the Nigerian oil and gas sector. According to Haruna, who was represented by Mrs. Edna Eneh, Director Reform and Coordination in the Ministry, lauded the PTDF for performing the Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, especially as there is a lot that still needs to be done in growing the sector. He said, “The industry is dynamic and we have to move in line with global developments in the oil and gas industry, especially as the world has evolved into a global village.” *Michael Eboh – Vanguard http://www.sweetcrudereports.com/2015/08/03/ptdf-urges-oil-companies-to-employ-nigerians/ |
