President Bola Tinubu has approved the nomination of four new members to the governing council of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, filling existing vacancies and strengthening the board’s capacity.
The approved nominees include Olusegun Omosehin of the National Insurance Commission and Wole Ogunsanya of the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria.
According to a statement released by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, on Thursday, Mr Tinubu also approved the nomination of Sam Onyechi, who represents the Nigerian Content Consultative Forum, and Owei Oyanbo from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.
The statement said the nominations arose from the exit of previous institutional representatives from the governing council.
The NCDMB governing council, established under Section 69 of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act, 2010, comprises representatives from key institutions.
The institutions include the petroleum ministry, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, NNPCL and PETAN. Others are the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, the NCCF and NAICOM.
The president encouraged the new members to leverage their expertise and dedication to enhance local content development within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
