NCDMB, Grufix Global Services train 50 Niger Delta Youths in Technical Skills

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), in partnership with Grufix Global Services Limited, has completed a five-day technical capacity-building programme for 50 Niger Delta youths in Badagry, Lagos State.

The training, which held from July 20 to July 24, 2026, was organised as part of NCDMB’s commitment to human capital development and empowerment of host communities in line with the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act, 2010.

The initiative was designed to equip young people from Niger Delta communities with practical, industry-relevant technical skills to improve their employability and participation in the oil and gas, construction and maritime sectors.

Participants received hands-on training, classroom instruction and safety briefings facilitated by certified instructors from Grufix Global Services Limited. The programme focused on technical competence, safety compliance and adherence to industry best practices.

Grufix Global Services Limited commended the participants for their commitment and encouraged them to apply the skills acquired to secure employment opportunities and create value within their communities.

The beneficiaries expressed appreciation to NCDMB and Grufix Global Services Limited, describing the training as timely and impactful. They said the programme had created new opportunities for self-employment and engagement with contractors in Lagos and across the Niger Delta region.

With the completion of the programme, NCDMB has further increased the pool of skilled young Nigerians equipped for technical roles, reinforcing its mandate to develop local capacity and promote sustainable growth in the oil and gas sector.
