Newly trained Dangote Refinery graduate engineers have promised an end to the ongoing fuel scarcity in the country when the Refinery takes off.
The engineers just returned from a training programme at Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. in India, the company said today.

The engineers have promised to deploy the knowledge and skills acquired during the training to ensure Nigeria is saved the embarrassment of fuel scarcity when the refinery comes on stream.
The engineers, who described their experience as second to none in the history of Nigeria oil and gas sector said never again would Nigeria experience fuel scarcity as the Dangote Refinery would be operated in the most efficient manner.
According to a statement, the Dangote Refinery, in preparation for takeoff, has been sending in batches Nigerian engineers to Bharat Refinery in India, arguably the biggest in the world for training in refinery operation and production.
The Dangote Refinery is Africa’s largest, with a capacity to produce 650,000 bpd. It is billed to commence operation soon.
The Nigerian engineers shared their experience with the management members at the Refinery premises at Lekki. They said they had both theory and practical training in India.
The engineers also said that it was a rare opportunity to witness a refinery of the Dangote’s size being built from the scratch.
Opeyemi Oyedepo, Process engineer and Igwe John, petroleum and gas engineer told the management how they were made to be part of trouble shooting during their training, a development that has boosted their confidence that Dangote Refinery with most modern facilities will eradicate perennial fuel scarcity in Nigeria.
The Graduate engineers also said they learnt, as part of their training, efficient refinery operations and adherence to quality and standard.
Technical Adviser to Dangote Refinery, Mr Babajide Soyode expressed satisfaction that the best of the graduate engineers were selected as attested to by the the trainers in India.
He said the management was proud of the engineers as they have displayed a thorough understanding of what they learnt in India.
Soyode said the Dangote Refinery chose Bharat, as the training ground, because it is the biggest refinery in the world and is ready to train young engineers, unlike the disposition in Europe and other parts of the Western world.
The company’s Director of Human Capital Management and Project Support, Mohan Kumar, while presenting the returnee engineers said the company is laying a solid foundation for takeoff with the training of the engineers.
He said the young engineers were trained on how to manage the operations of the refinery.
Kumar added that the engineers had gathered fundamental practical knowledge about refinery.
According to him, the engineers are recruited and trained to witness the building of the refinery from scratch.
He said the engineers spent two months in classroom training and three months on the job training.
Kumar explained that the engineers were trained by experts, who had over 45 years experience in refinery operations.
He said that the training became imperative due to the commitment of Dangote Group to promote local content by developing indigenous capacity.
He stated that “the engineers are expected to also transfer the skills acquired to other Nigerians when the refinery comes on stream.(NAN)

You guys can only pledge to produce the best petroleum products for Nigeria. You can't do much about ending scarcity, cos it's more of politics.

To d poster above, ur signature aptly describes our president in face of the herdsmen crisis

Ok

Not by mouth. That was how Buhari too promised us in 2015

As long as we still have a dullard in Aso rock who value COWS over humans...we will continue suffering

The magic is to get your PVC!


2019forDuke

Na so

It's quite unfortunate that I find myself in a country called Nigeria. In 2013 after my NYSC,I applied for the Federal Ministry of Finance SURE-P graduate internship Scheme and I was very fortunate that GIS found an employer for me which happen to be DANGOTE GROUP.
I accepted the offer immediately. We were give ONLY 30 days to complete the process and start work.
I received an email from Dangote HQ that I have been selected for DANGOTE Academy GETS test but I have to come for an assessment scheduled to hold on 6th September, 2013.
To cut the long story short, after the assessment,I was sent a congratulatory message that I did well and I have been selected as a candidate for a 12 to 18 months intensive skilled training and that i should send my T-Shirt size and Shoe side because all there interns would be putting on the same branded clothes all through the period of the training. I did as i was instructed and after that things changed and the rest is history. I didn't hear from them again for months. I called, sent messages and also went to there office at Ikoyi but my people, I think politics have been played and we have been swapped.
I still have all the mails sent to me and how things played out till date.
I probably would have also been one of these people that just returned from INDIA and as a middle level engineer at DANGOTE GROUP but thanks to the powers that be in Nigeria.
I have not lost hope in my struggle to be the best I can be in life with the help of God.
God's approval is far greater than man politics.
I congratulate all the new DANGOTE group refinery engineers.

What kind of joke is this?

Ok

Jokes graduate engineers.

Can you cure a madness older than you

Ok, another failed promise is loading...

Let's stay hopeful that there will be availability of quality fuel for Nigerians soon.

I only read Southern names. Is Dangote impervious to Quota system?

Had true merit been entrenched into our systems since the last fifty years, Northern Nigeria would have made giant strides but Quota System keeps them docile. After all, e sure for them.

Shithole country.
Zoo nation.

Nnamdi is a prophet.

They never employ you finish u don dey swear, dey cast, they bind..
All this graduate trainee sef

Easier said than done

...only if govt deregulate

May GOD grant them wisdom and strength to improve our system. Nigeria will get better. Buhari will not last forever nor will any other government. Lets be positive.

Oga , I disagree with you .

They can end the scarcity .... this is a private business , that will want to sell their product and make money .... the more they will selll the more income that goes to them . Unless government shut down their operation . And I am sure to avoid this a lot of things must have been put in place . Their production will put an end to scarcity .


Their main future challenge is the electric car .

When petroleum will become useless

they will start emplying their children and this is were the corruption will start from.
looking forward for better nigeria

i just can't wait to see this refinery come upstream

Their blood dey hot

useless guys.. we must buy fuel in high price

Good

Talk is cheap. Even the CEO can not categorically say such....

dangote embark on such venture of training local engineers to reduce cost of operation. that man didn't study economics but he practice it like mad

is that so...?


what percentage of completion has the refinery reached that these ones are making BuHARI promises

Lwkmd... Boys wey no sabi politics..
