The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) has inaugurated a committee to operationalize the Port Harcourt skills centre in Rivers State, Nigeria. The committee, headed by PTDF Executive Secretary Shuaibu Aliyu, aims to develop an operational framework and industry-focused curriculum for the centre. The centre, nearly 98% complete, will provide competency-based vocational training and certifications in sectors such as welding, electrical works, industrial safety, automobile maintenance, and heavy-duty equipment maintenance.
The committee's terms of reference include developing an operational policy and management framework, designing curricula, recommending training and certification systems, and establishing pathways for internships, apprenticeships, employment, and entrepreneurship. Members of the committee include representatives from various organizations, including the Oil and Gas Trainers Association of Nigeria, the National Board for Technical Education, and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission.
The PTDF believes the committee's expertise will provide the strategic direction needed to strengthen the centre's programmes and advance the Fund's human and institutional capacity development mandate.
