The NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training programme has officially commenced, creating a valuable opportunity for 300 young Nigerian graduates to gain practical skills and industry experience needed to build successful careers in the country's oil and gas sector.

The initiative is being implemented by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) in collaboration with Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen local capacity, improve employability, and prepare Nigerian professionals for emerging opportunities in the petroleum industry.

Overview of the NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training

The NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training is a comprehensive 12-month capacity development programme designed specifically for graduates of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Instrumentation Engineering.

Participants will spend the first three months receiving intensive classroom-based technical instruction before proceeding to nine months of practical industrial attachment with selected oil and gas service companies across Nigeria. This combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on field experience is intended to produce highly skilled professionals who are ready to contribute immediately to industry operations.

Out of the 300 successful candidates selected through a competitive nationwide screening exercise, 240 trainees will receive their training in Lagos, while the remaining 60 participants will be based in Port Harcourt.

NCDMB Reaffirms Commitment to Human Capital Development

During the official launch of the programme, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, Felix Ogbe, explained that the NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training aligns with the Board's commitment to developing indigenous talent, increasing Nigerian participation in the oil and gas industry, and creating sustainable employment opportunities.

Represented at the event by the Assistant Manager of Human Capacity Development, Tari Bufazi, he noted that the programme goes beyond classroom learning by exposing participants to real industry operations while enabling them to earn internationally recognized professional certifications.

He encouraged participants to view the programme as the beginning of a rewarding professional journey that will equip them with globally competitive technical skills and prepare them for long-term careers in the energy industry.

Why Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation Skills Matter

According to NCDMB, specialised knowledge in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automation, instrumentation, and engineering operations remains essential for maintaining safe, efficient, and reliable oil and gas production.

As Nigeria continues to attract new investments into the petroleum sector, there is growing demand for highly competent professionals who possess both technical expertise and practical field experience.

The NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training has therefore been designed to bridge existing skill gaps while ensuring participants meet current and future industry requirements.

Renaissance Africa Energy Company Supports Local Talent Development

Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited reiterated its commitment to promoting Nigerian content through continuous investment in workforce development.

The company explained that the training programme will expose participants to several critical areas, including:

- Mechanical systems and maintenance

- Electrical installation and operations

- Instrumentation and process control

- Software development

- Computer networking

- Cybersecurity

- Industrial safety and best practices

By combining classroom instruction with workplace experience, participants will develop the practical knowledge employers are looking for in today's competitive oil and gas industry.

Practical Experience to Prepare Industry-Ready Professionals

The practical attachment component of the NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training is expected to help participants transition smoothly from academic learning to real workplace responsibilities.

Beyond technical competence, trainees will also receive guidance on workplace ethics, professionalism, teamwork, integrity, communication skills, and maintaining a strong safety culture—qualities that are highly valued throughout the global energy sector.

Rigorous Selection Process

The lead training organisation, Radial Circle, disclosed that thousands of applications were received from qualified graduates across Nigeria.

Following a comprehensive screening process conducted using the NCDMB database, only 300 candidates were selected based on merit to participate in the highly competitive programme.

The primary objective is to produce competent, field-ready professionals capable of contributing effectively to operational activities immediately after completing the training.

Supporting Nigeria's Local Content Goals

Industry stakeholders noted that the NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training supports the implementation of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act as well as the Nigerian Content 10-Year Strategic Roadmap.

By investing in technical education and practical skills development, the programme is expected to strengthen Nigeria's pool of qualified professionals, improve local participation in the petroleum industry, boost employment opportunities for graduates, and contribute to the long-term growth and competitiveness of the country's energy sector.

For young engineering graduates seeking a career in the petroleum industry, the NCDMB Renaissance Oil Gas Training represents an excellent opportunity to acquire valuable technical knowledge, gain real-world industry exposure, and build a solid foundation for future success in Nigeria's oil and gas sector.

The regret mail has been sent already and The same difference was there ? One has “At this time” and the other does not have it ?

Ochukogold:
Same thing was done for the last technician trainee recruitment (2025 set) some received mail of “At this time “. Also graduate trainee (2023 set) Likewise same thing will be done with this current graduate trainee.. the mails will drop after they are done totally with medicals for the guys that are called already . It will come together with the general regret mail

jessieify:
Guys, apparently there are two variants of the NLNG rejection emails sent out 20th July. The differences I noticed are:

• One says “at this time, you have not…” and also ends with “best regards,” as it’s complimentary close.

• While in the other, there is no “at this time” and it carries “Kind regards,” as its complimentary close.

I’m pointing this out because something similar happened during the 2023/2024 recruitment. There were also two versions of the rejection email, and some candidates later speculated that the “at this time” version was a disguised waitlist after a number of people were reportedly contacted later. I wonder if this year’s variants mean something similar or if they’re simply different email templates.

I noticed this July 20th.

QuyTay:
There was waitlist but it didn't come in form of waitlist.

How were the group dynamics for your group exercise? In mine, everyone was being amiable and peaceful. They were mostly going with whatever the first suggestion was. In my mind I was like 'ah... I don't agree with this o' so, I offered my different perspectives about a number of times.

5igar:
Have they sent mails yet?

Fadeshewa301:
Please can you share the SHL MAP again🥹

Larynxfc:
Thanks. So you didn't get anything like a thank you or congratulatory message?

I didn't, but I've sent NLNG an email incase it means something.

Larynxfc:
Good evening everyone. Upon submitting the MS form, I was redirected to another page. There were I think, 2 hyperlinks at the center of the page. I remember one of them was reading something like 'do you want to create a form of your own?'.

Was this the same for others?

JobsLever:
They still made reference to email.

I will give u update on here once I find out anything ..good day

Quick update: The item was never delivered. I contacted the merchant, and it turned out it was stolen/lost upon arrival in the country. Luckily, it qualified for a money-back guarantee, so I got a full refund. Lesson learned: Always use reliable shipping agents like DHL or FedEx for end-to-end delivery. While USPS is fine, handing over to NIPOST once in Nigeria poses a major risk!
