OGTAN to honour NCDMB, TotalEnergies, others
The Oil and Gas Trainers Association of Nigeria says it has concluded plans to confer recognitions and honours on the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, TotalEnergies, and other outstanding energy titans in the country.
In a statement, the association declared that the event would be held in Lagos on September 12.
In the list made available to the media, the Petroleum Training Institute is penned for the OGTAN Excellence in Oil and Gas Training Award. And the Nigeria LNG Limited is slated for the OGTAN Best Corporate Training Partner award.
The OGTAN award for Lifetime Achievement in Capacity Building will be conferred on the pioneer Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, Dr Ernest Nwapa, while the NCDMB itself earns the OGTAN award for Government Partner of the Year.
Also, Pana Holdings Limited and Oilserv Limited are scheduled for the OGTAN Affiliate of the Year award. The OGTAN Young Professional Development award is scheduled for TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited, while Aradel Holdings PLC and First Exploration & Petroleum Development Company will each receive the OGTAN Indigenous HCD Company of the Year award.
The pioneer President of the Women in Energy Network, Mrs Funmi Ogbue, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Zigma Energy Group, is pencilled in for the OGTAN Women in Energy Leadership award.
President of the association, Mr Christopher Osarumwense, stated that the event amplifies the need for the training segment of the petroleum industry to build the right set of requisite skills required to strengthen operating companies, service providers, and government institutions as more players take increasing responsibility in the sector.
Osarumwense reaffirmed the association’s commitment to recognise and honour institutions and individuals who continue to drive excellence in training, knowledge transfer, and local content development across Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
