The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) is set to commence the issuance of the Nigerian Content Trainers Registration Certificate (NCTRC) as part of efforts to strengthen local competencies and promote professional standards within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
The initiative was unveiled during a sensitisation workshop held with members of the Oil and Gas Trainers Association of Nigeria (OGTAN) in Lagos.
Speaking at the event, the Executive Secretary of NCDMB, Engineer Felix Omatsola Ogbe, represented by the General Manager, Infrastructure and Capacity Building Directorate, Barrister Sheba Olugbenga, said the NCTRC was developed to establish a clear framework for trainer certification and ensure that only qualified and competent professionals are entrusted with workforce development in the industry.
He noted that rapid technological advancements, evolving industry requirements and innovations across the oil and gas value chain have heightened the need for strategic, standardised and sustainable in-country capacity development.
During an interactive session with participants, the Director of Capacity Building at NCDMB, Engineer Abayomi Bamidele, cautioned prospective applicants against engaging intermediaries who claim they can facilitate or fast-track the certification process.
He advised trainers to apply directly through approved channels to avoid exploitation, stressing that the registration process is free of charge and that the certificate will be issued across eleven areas of specialisation covering both technical and soft-skill competencies.
Bamidele also disclosed that efforts are underway to integrate selected training tools and course templates into the curriculum of the Nigerian Content Academy, the Board’s knowledge-sharing and capacity development arm.
The sensitisation workshop forms part of NCDMB’s broader efforts to strengthen operational readiness, improve training quality and maintain high professional standards within Nigeria’s local content workforce.
