Sen Akpoti - Uduaghan Commends NDDC, NLNG Partnership on Local Content Development

Paschal Emeka, Abuja / Posted 1st December 2023

Senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan, the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District has commended the pact between Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG), on the development of local content capacity.

Both NDDC and NLNG recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to leverage on shared aspirations and collaborate on diverse fronts in the delivery of sustainable development projects in the oil rich region.

In her reaction, Senator Natasha urged NDDC to consider the need to be the primary recruiters of their trained workforce to achieve effective service delivery.

She gave the charge on Thursday during an interactive session between Senate Committee on Local Content and the NDDC Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku.

As the Chair, Local Content Committee, Senator Natasha, tasked the NDDC on the need to not only build capacity and equip their workforce but also engage them efficiently.

“NDDC should consider being the primary recruiters of their trained workforce. Artisans or skilled professionals such as ICT workers can be absorbed by NDDC contractors, which in turn, will enable the commission reach the most vulnerable and neglected youth,” she said.

She also pledged to partner with NDDC on building a database of artisans within the country to strengthen the workforce and by extension achieve microeconomic growth for Nigeria.

“Local Content Committee intends to deploy innovative thinking for positive results, thus, we are building a database of carefully profiled artisans who have been trained by NDDC, SMEDAN, etc.; and work modalities to have the oil & gas companies, as well as government contractors, recruit from the pool of verified workforce.

“This would help curb unemployment by keeping the jobs locally. Such a project would also help the Local content board, NDDC and other agencies monitor and evaluate the performance of our collective capacity-building efforts towards achieving a common microeconomic growth for Nigeria and Africa at large,” she added.

In his remarks, the NDDC MD accepted her proposal and looks forward to a synergy with the Local Content Committee to develop strategies, and in turn, engage trained workforce for employment opportunities.
