According to
Mr. Kentebe, the spool yard, which is the first of its kind in Nigeria and
Africa, is worth more than $4m and will help to provide immediate solutions to numerous
onshore and offshore oil and gas projects.
The NCDMB
boss that said the GRE pipe had the capability of creating thousands of
employment for Nigerians and putting to an end capital flight in the oil and
gas industry.
He noted
that the job creation opportunity and in-country capacity building for the
spool yard was documented and recorded with the training and certification of
over 70 Nigerian engineers in the last 24 months.
He said: “In the last 54 years of oil exploration in Nigeria, if in
every 24 months we have been training 70 Nigerians, you know how many Nigerian
engineers we would have produced today in the oil and gas industry. But this is
the beginning, and I am sure with the support of the NCDMB and industry
operators, Bell Oil and Gas will continue to make us proud.”
Mr. Kentebe also
noted that a lot of restiveness in the Niger Delta region and insecurity issues
would have ended if each oil and gas company had been training at least 70
Nigerian every 24 months.
