  "summary": "The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) is repositioning its human-capital development programmes to contribute to Nigeria's ambition of building a $1tn economy by 2030. Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer Prof. Shu'aibu Aliyu announced this at a press conference in Kaduna, emphasizing the Fund's renewed focus on domestic training, research, technology, and international partnerships. Aliyu highlighted the PTDF's development of a talent ecosystem that would supply skilled manpower to Nigeria's oil and gas industry while enabling Nigerian professionals to compete for opportunities across Africa. The PTDF's strategy is anchored on two major institutions: the Centre for Skills Development and Training in Port Harcourt and the General Shehu Musa Yar'adua University of Geological Science and Engineering Technology in Kaduna.",
