NNPC Boss Tasks OML 58 Trainees On Current Trends
The General Manager, Sustainable Development and Public Affairs Division of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC), Mr Vincent Nnadi, has called on teachers currently on training in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 58 to see their training as a means of upgrading their knowledge in current trends and techniques in their jobs.
He made the call recently while addressing over 500 teachers involved in the training from the primary and secondary schools at Akabuka in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Locla Government Area of Rivers State.
According to Mr Nnadi, who was represented by the company’s Capacity Development Manager, Mr Oriakhi Francis, the training, a collaborative effort between NNPC and TEPNG, is in the compay’s areas of operation.
He noted that the topic of this year’s workshop “Curriculum Analysis For Effective Implementation: Improvisation for Teaching Science and English Language,” was chosen to reflect on the need to improve the performance of students from OML 58 in external examinations.
Mr Francis explained that in addition to the company’s decision to embark on educational development in their host communities, it has commenced work on “re-branding and refocusing our education development policy with respect to our scholarship scheme.”
Meanwhile, the company has successfully conducted the first community scholarship examination in Akwa Ibom State, in OML 58 this year.
Emphasizing on the fact that the company’s activity was oil exploration and production, he noted that over the years employment into the company had been more in favour of liberal and social science.
This development, he explained, had made it increasingly difficult for the company to meet various community requests for employment.
It was the dearth of such recruitment of ready youths that gave rise to our intervention in the teaching and leasing of science,” said.
