NCDMB Drives Technical Proficiency in Yenagoa

In a strategic move to enhance the technical competencies of the local workforce, the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has officially launched a five-day training program centered on Oracle Primavera P6. The session, which began on March 9th and is scheduled to conclude on March 13th, 2026, is specifically designed for 50 selected participants in Bayelsa State. This initiative reflects the Board’s ongoing mission to ensure that Nigerian professionals possess the high-level software skills required to manage complex industrial projects within the country’s borders.

Mastering Oracle Primavera P6 for Critical Infrastructure

The training provides an intensive deep dive into Oracle Primavera P6, a world-leading project portfolio management software. Participants are being guided through the practical applications of the tool, including schedule management, resource allocation, and risk analysis. In sectors as demanding as energy and construction, the ability to utilize such sophisticated software is often a prerequisite for high-level roles. By providing this training, the NCDMB is directly addressing the skills gap that often prevents local professionals from taking lead positions in major multinational projects.

Strategic Execution and Economic Impact

Mathnebi Nig. Ltd has been tasked with the execution of the program, ensuring that the curriculum meets international project management standards. The NCDMB’s sponsorship of this event is part of a broader mandate to boost local capacity and drive Nigeria’s economic growth through targeted human capital development. By fostering a domestic pool of certified project management experts, the Board aims to reduce the industry's reliance on foreign expatriates for technical planning and scheduling roles, thereby retaining more economic value within the Nigerian economy.
