The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board has disclosed that at least 1,000 Nigerians have now taken over the jobs previously executed by expatriates in the oil and gas industry.
Represented by the General Manager, Corporate Communications and Zonal Coordination, Dr. Ginah Ginah, Wabote also dismissed insinuations that the board was out to nationalise businesses owned by foreigners, arguing however, that Nigerians who have built capacity to carry out such tasks must be considered.
“You will see an expatriate, in fact at the Brass LNG, they came to our office when they were setting up and part of their submissions to the NCDMB was about personnel; so, we saw security adviser, who was an expatriate. Wabote said that the NCDMB was proud of its achievements in the last few years, explaining that in recent times , even for some of the biggest projects in the industry, Nigerians have continued to deliver.
That's a good development if it's meant to move the country forward.
