NCDMB, Chevron, Bristow Begin Pilot Training to Boost Human Capacity in Oil Sector

A significant initiative to bolster human capacity in Nigeria's vital oil and gas sector is underway, spearheaded by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB). In a strategic partnership with Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) and Bristow Helicopters Nigeria Limited (BHNL), the NCDMB has launched a pilot training program.

This collaborative effort is designed to cultivate specialized skills among Nigerians, focusing on aviation aspects crucial to the oil and gas industry. By investing in pilot training, the program aims to reduce reliance on foreign expertise and create more opportunities for local professionals.

The initiative aligns with the broader objectives of promoting Nigerian content within the energy sector. Enhancing the skills of the local workforce is seen as a key strategy for sustainable growth and ensuring that the benefits of the oil and gas industry are more widely distributed within the country. The training is expected to produce qualified pilots capable of supporting offshore operations and other critical functions.
