Nigerian Content

Nigerian Content

Nigerian Content is about maximizing the use of Nigerian companies on projects, thus developing indigenous service providers and suppliers (manufacturers, fabricators, and vendors), to enable them to attain requisite excellence. By maximizing Nigerian participation, projects result in significant local content, engendering technology transfer and development. It is also envisaged that this will induce a spate of manufacturing and spur economic growth.

We pride ourselves as a leading Nigerian Content Champion. We were awarded ‘the Champion of Nigerian Content in Nigerian Oil & Gas Industry” for this deed by The Nigerian Content Monitoring and Development Board (NCDMB). As the things we do in this regard are hinged on two-fundamentals:

• Policy on giving Nigerians first consideration in recruitments and procurements for our projects; Continuous training and development of our Nigerian workforce along structured Learning and Development programs on a regular basis. The essence of this is to transfer technological and managerial capabilities;
• Continuous training and development of our Nigerian workforce along structured Learning and Development programs on a regular basis. The essence of this is to transfer technological and managerial capabilities.
