Oilserv Limited, an oil and gas service company with expertise in pipelines and flowlines, has trained 28 youths in auto-welding, manual welding and fitting and rigging as part of its technical training scheme.
Other focus areas of the scheme included basic equipment maintenance, assets training, horizontal directional drilling operation and operation of heavy duty equipment.
At the graduation in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, Oilserv Managing Director Sir Emeka Okwuosa assured that most of the trainees would be absorbed by the company.
He said the company was committed to human capital development and determined to make young Nigerians participate in the development of the economy.
Okwuosa expressed satisfaction that the training was conducted without any incident as the trainees exhibited professionalism and good attitude to work.
He noted that a batch of the trainees assigned to the Obiafu/Obrikom to Oben (OB3) gas pipeline project welding crew welded 360 joints without a repair.
Okwuosa promised that more youths would benefit from the scheme and more awareness created on the programme.
Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Executive Secretary Denzil Kentebe praised Oilserv for initiating the technical trainee scheme, which is in line with its strategies for implementing the Nigerian Content Act.
He was represented by the Manager, Human Capital Development, Mrs. Michelle Aiyegbusi, who said the part of the Board’s mandate is to empower Nigerian entrepreneurs and imbue young Nigerians with trainings across specialties in the oil and gas sector.
