Local content is when bulk of the employees are from the locality which is Bonny kingdom and Rivers state at large not bringing people from Lagos and kaduna to fill majority of the positions

I think that will come up as Community Content. I believe it was captured in the Petroleum Industry Bill. Can anyone confirm?

chidima2019:
Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Mr. Simbi Wabote says the planned 7 billion dollar Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited Train 7 plant will be done in-country by mostly Nigerian companies.

Wabote disclosed this at a public workshop to discuss opportunities for the Nigerian content aspect of the NLNG Train 7 plant, in Abuja, on Tuesday.

He said the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) work must be in-country as part of effort to ensure local content drive in the country.

The workshop was organised by the NLNG.

He said the era of building such big projects in modules abroad and then shipped to Nigeria to be coupled, was over.

He explained the government would now assess such new projects with what had been achieved with the Egina Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) oil platform built by Total.

“I know how we insist on some of these local content requirements (from the international oil companies (IOCs). If you leave them alone, they will build this Train 7 in modules and then ship them from England or Netherlands and then take them straight to Bonny and couple them.

“ That is not going to happen. We are going to build the Train 7 in-country because we have the capacity.” He said

He further explained that the NCDMB was confident the NLNG Train 7 plant would come through, unlike some other oil and gas projects that have been in the pipeline for many years.

The NLNG, has been adjudged as one of Nigeria’s most successful corporate organisations.

“ It is a private limited liability company owned by the federal government, represented by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with 49 per cent stake; Shell – 25.6 per cent; Total – 15 per cent and Eni – 10.4 per cent,’

Earlier, the NLNG’s Managing Director, Mr. Tony Attah, said that the company’s planned Train 7 project, which would increase production output of its plant by 35 per cent from 22 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) to 30 MTPA, will improve Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Nigeria.

He said 2019 would mark the company’s 30th year in existence and 20th year of operation as a global company.

Giving an overview of the Train 7 project, he said opportunities exist for in-country fabrication of pressure vessels, pipes, flare stack among others.

In the area of procurement of equipment and materials, the company said in-country opportunities exist for Nigerian companies to supply cement, fuel, lubricants and vehicles including earth moving equipment.

In construction, he said that opportunities exist in consulting services, installation, commissioning and inspection, testing and certification.

Attah said Nigerian companies could take advantage of opportunities to supply logistics including marine and air transport for thousands of workers than would be engaged when construction of the new train begins.

This local content advocate knows nothing and will do nothing, they just want to get the contract and sublet it to the original foreign firms that were to supply the parts, which of the equipment is made in this country, None. Why have none of the refinery work today is this local content stuff.

SocialJustice:
Nice development. If there is capacity locally to handle this then it should be done locally. Know your worth, do not mingle with societal scum in the name of proving a point. I can show you a very old account here that does not even bother to comment but comes here daily. Do not give people who are not even qualified to do your laundry the opportunity to insult you online.

If in the name of wanting to prove class we keep silence in the face of lies, we do our society no good. Let him debunk the lie for the good of the society.

Some lies are too obvious, they debunk themselves.

Local content have spoilt the O&G industry in Nigeria.
Local content brought poor pay, poor working condition in short poor everything. The foreigners should come back and run the whole thing.

You expected the local criminals to pay you normally?

Local content in the oil and gas industry is the greatest rubbish. It's killing the industry.

That's true but let's not also forget the argument and discrimination that brought about local content

The discrimination now is even worse. Tribalism plus nepotism has eaten deep into the industry.
