An indigenous oil ad gas service firm, Oilserv Limited, has boosted the presence of local experts in the sector with 28 fresh technical graduate trainees.

Oilserv, which specializes in pipelines and flowlines, completed the trainees in auto-welding, manual welding and fitting and rigging activities as part of its technical training scheme.

Other focus areas of the scheme included basic equipment maintenance, assets training, horizontal directional drilling operation and operation of heavy-duty equipment.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the programme held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State recently, the Managing Director of the company, Emeka Okwuosa, stated that the company would employ most of the trainees.

He explained that the company was committed to human capital development and was determined to make young Nigerians participate in the development of the Nigerian economy.

Okwuosa expressed satisfaction that the training was conducted without any incident, rather the trainees exhibited professionalism and good attitude to work. He noted that a batch of the trainees assigned to the Obiafu/Obrikom to Oben (OB3) gas pipeline project welding crew welded a total of 360 joints without a repair.

He promised that more young Nigerians will benefit from the scheme and more awareness will be created about the programme.
