Seplat Energy Plc has announced plans to partner with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) in the area of human capital development, as well as the establishment of skills acquisition centres in the country.
the chief executive of Seplat Energy Plc, Mr Roger Brown, made the announcement when he led the management of the firm on a courtesy visit to the Executive Director of NCDMB, Mr Simbi Wabote, at the board’s liaison office.
Mr Brown explained that his visit was imperative in order to respond and talk through some of the issues raised by NCDMB in a letter addressed to Seplat Energy Plc outlining their irregularities and non-compliance to the NOGICD Act, 2010.
According to him, Seplat Energy, under his leadership, was working tirelessly to address all the issues raised by the agency.
He said, “We at Seplat will partner with NCDMB in the areas of Human Capacity Development and in the building of skills centres that will focus on excellence in the country.”
On his part, Mr Wabote charged the Seplat boss and his team to always abide by the Nigerian Content Act and ensure to take cognizant steps to address the issues raised by NCDMB.
Mr Wabote further urged the management of Seplat Energy to take human capital development more seriously by investing heavily in it, noting that NCDMB rated Seplat Energy high because the company was a typical Nigerian Content flagship initiative.
