A leading company in the oil and gas sector has launched a training program aimed at equipping young individuals with vital safety skills required in the industry. The initiative, designed to address the growing need for safety awareness and preparedness in the sector, will provide hands-on training in various aspects of oil safety, including hazard identification, emergency response, and environmental protection.
The company’s spokesperson emphasized that the training is part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to build a safer and more skilled workforce for Nigeria’s oil industry. “Safety is paramount in the oil and gas sector, and we believe in empowering the next generation of workers with the knowledge and skills to ensure a safe working environment,” the spokesperson said.

The program will focus on youth between the ages of 18 and 30, offering them both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in oil safety protocols. Topics covered include the handling of hazardous materials, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the importance of adhering to local and international safety standards.
Industry experts have praised the initiative, noting that it addresses critical gaps in safety training and creates a pool of young, well-trained individuals ready to enter the oil and gas workforce. Furthermore, the training is expected to reduce the incidence of accidents and improve overall safety standards in the sector.
The firm’s investment in youth development through this program is seen as a proactive step toward building a future-ready, safety-conscious workforce, contributing to the long-term sustainability and growth of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
