Contents Dev: Nigeria To Meet Target By 2020 – Board
The Nigeria Content Devel
opment Board (NCDB), has fixed the year 2020 as the benchmark of achieving its specific target in terms of compliance to the Content Development Policy. The Zonal Manager, Capacity Building of NCDB, Yenagoa, Engr Frank Ibi disclosed this in Port Harcourt, during the commissioning of Mudiaine Ultra-modern Laboratory and graduation ceremony of the International Welding Engineering (IWE) Students.
Ibi said, Nigeria had already achieved 70 per cent compliance in the Content Development Policy and called on all stakeholders to work hard to achieve the specific target.
In his remark, the President, Nigeria Institute of Welders, Dr Solomon Edebiri, commended the Mudiaine Welding Institute over its effort in training of technical skills especially in welding.
He said such efforts exhibited by the institute had reduced dependency on foreign expatriates in skills development and application, in line with the Nigeria Content Development Act.
In his address, the Managing Director of Mudiane, Mr Sunny Eromosele, said his firm was committed to achieving the Content Development Policy, especially in training of capacity for the construction of oil and gas companies.
Mr Eromosele pointed out that training in Nigeria was more beneficial because it would boost competence based on familiarity of the environment and terrain.
Over 30 students graduated from the institute in two successive batches.
Speaking on behalf of the graduands, Mr Renus Okonkwo thanked the institute for the training and assured that the skill acquired would be put into practice.
