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.
