Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas Bonny Marks Milestone with NCDMB Staff Training Initiative

The Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas Bonny has achieved another notable success through the efforts of Dr. Victor Okolobah, who has facilitated a comprehensive two-week training program for approximately 50 staff members at the Nigeria Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

This initiative, highlighted in a recent announcement from the institution's Public Relations Officer, Anthony Ogbe, underscores the polytechnic's pivotal role in advancing skills development within Nigeria's vital oil and gas sector.

NCDMB's training programs are strategically designed to enhance human capacity in the oil and gas industry and associated fields. By partnering with organizations such as the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and private entities, these efforts provide young professionals with essential, in-demand competencies through avenues like technical and vocational education, higher-level university courses, and targeted industry training. The overarching objectives include promoting local content, alleviating unemployment, and stimulating economic expansion via practical, hands-on, and entrepreneurial training.

Dr. Okolobah's proactive engagement, characterized by astute information gathering and strong communication, was instrumental in securing this opportunity. The training is specifically geared toward bolstering the participants' capabilities, offering deeper insights and practical exposure to oil and gas operations. This aligns seamlessly with the administration's vision under Dr. Okolobah's leadership to ensure the polytechnic fulfills its core mandate of producing high- and mid-level personnel for the industry.

The Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas Bonny has solidified its status as a leading force in manpower development for the oil and gas sector across the African subregion. As the institution's reputation grows, it continues to deliver unparalleled education, knowledge, and experiential learning opportunities across disciplines, positioning itself as an indispensable hub for aspiring professionals in the energy field.
