Simbi Wabote, executive secretary of NCDMB, made the call recently during a business training session, according to a statement by the agency’s corporate communications department. The workshop is tagged ‘entrepreneurship development training for women business leaders and entrepreneurs’.the number of women entrepreneurs in the oil industry was disproportionately low.
He said the training would place women entrepreneurs in a better position to benefit from the Nigerian content intervention fund , established by the NCDMB in collaboration with the Nigeria Export-Import Bank .“One of the reasons for getting this programme done is to ensure that women that participate in oil and gas business can have access to the [gender-based] fund,” Wabote said.
