Rivers: NLNG Launches Train 7 Project’s HCD Basic Training Supplementary Programme

The NLNG has launched its Train 7 Project’s Human Capital Development (HCD) basic training supplementary programme in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.

In his keynote speech, NLNG’s Nigerian Content Development Manager, Engr. Dagogo Buowari, described the programme as a milestone in multinational’s broader commitment to achieving Nigerian content targets and empowering the nation’s youth through skills-based development.

Buowari said: “This initiative further strengthens NLNG’s role in supporting Nigerian Content development, especially within the ongoing Train 7 Project. We are proud to sustain this momentum in collaboration with the NCDMB, whose visionary support continues to drive human capital development across Nigeria.

“The supplementary training expands the Train 7 HCD Basic Training Programme. It offers two distinct learning tracks designed to meet the diverse needs of participants: structured theoretical modules through classroom training, and practical, field-based experience through hands-on training.

“Each of these components follows a carefully developed curriculum with specific milestones to ensure that trainees graduate with both industry-relevant knowledge and applied technical competence.

“For the trainees, this is not just a learning programme—it is a launchpad for your professional journey. I urge you to commit fully, complete all required modules, and take the certification process seriously. This experience could define your future.”

He stated that the programme was structured to support the personal and professional development of each beneficiary beyond the technical training.

Buowari said: “Beyond technical training, the programme is structured to support each participant’s personal and professional development holistically. Trainees will have access to healthcare services through Reliance HMO, ensuring their wellness throughout the training period.

“They will also be enrolled in mentorship programmes designed to guide seasoned oil and gas industry professionals. Additionally, wellness and support services, including counselling and emotional support resources, will be available to help participants maintain balance and resilience.

“Regular performance reviews and career counselling sessions will ensure each trainee’s progress aligns with their long-term professional aspirations. These offerings reflect NLNG’s commitment to skill acquisition and developing well-rounded professionals capable of thriving in dynamic and demanding environments.”
