Beyond Oil and Gas Nigeria stands at a critical juncture in its development journey, and the role of technical education cannot be overstated. As we seek to diversify our economy and foster innovation, investing in technical education is paramount. This form of education equips young Nigerians with practical skills and hands-on experience, directly addressing the skills gap in the labor market. Technical education institutions in Nigeria are meant to transform the educational landscape by offering programs in fields such as plumbing, welding, carpentry and vocational training. These programs not only prepare students for immediate employment but also encourage entrepreneurship, enabling graduates to create jobs and drive economic growth. Furthermore, partnerships between the government, private sector, and educational institutions are crucial. By aligning curricula with industry needs, these collaborations ensure that students are job-ready upon graduation. Initiatives like the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) play a pivotal role in standardizing and improving the quality of technical education across the country. As we look to the future, it is essential to continue supporting and investing in technical education. By doing so, Nigeria can harness the potential of its youthful population, drive innovation, and build a robust, sustainable economy. Together, we can create a brighter future for all Nigerians. #TechnicalEducation #Nigeria #SustainableDevelopment -------------------------------- I invite you to join me on this #journey as we explore the #EssenceOfLearning to #OptimizeHumanPotential. #PhDofLife #AfricanExcellence #DoctorateOfLearning #LearningJourney #LearningToLearn #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessInNigeria #EducationForAll #LinkedforAll

This was one of the best decisions during my undergraduate studies and you should share it with every youth in your network. Looking back on my undergraduate years, I am convinced that one decision stands out as a turning point in shaping my career path. After my experience at SolarFuture Nigeria 2019, hosted by Solarplaza, where I witnessed the potential of renewable technologies to alleviate the energy poverty challenge, especially for off-grid communities like mine. I was determined to contribute to solving energy poverty, so I set my sights on opportunities in achieving this. The Switch International Energy Case competition presented such an opportunity. Joining forces with my talented teammates Aji Said M. Iqbal Fajri, Chris Wu, and Naifah Uzlah Istya Putri, we embarked on dissecting the energy complexities facing Venezuela. The journey was nothing short of transformative, presenting us with diverse challenges and deep insights into the country's energy sector. The benefits of participating in the case competition were immeasurable, extending far beyond the confines of a traditional classroom: 🌍 Global Perspective: The competition opened my eyes to the global energy landscape and the intricate challenges it entails. It was the perfect launchpad for understanding the real-world implications of energy choices. 🤝 Leadership & Networking: Steering our team, "Synergy," through the competition, I honed my leadership skills and had the privilege of connecting with fellow young energy enthusiasts. These connections proved to be invaluable as we collectively aspired to make a difference. 🤝 Soft Skill development: Collaborating with diverse minds, we navigated through complexities, and in doing so, developed impeccable soft skills like teamwork, empathy and communication skills. These are attributes that have been invaluable in my career. 🌐 Global Energy Leaders: One of the most cherished outcomes was the opportunity to interact with global energy leaders. I still maintain a valuable connection with Irene Petkoff Martínez, who served as a judge during the competition.

Shell Petroleum Development of Nigeria Limited (SPDC) and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) significantly boosted their contributions to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in 2023, remitting a total of $142.5 million. This represents a notable increase from the $79.77 million contributed in 2022. According to a statement from Bamidele Odugbesan, Shell Nigeria’s Manager of Media Communications and NGO Relations, SPDC contributed $112.5 million, while SNEPCo added $30 million. These funds, provided on behalf of Shell and its partners—including the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited, NAOC, and Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited—are statutory payments aimed at supporting the NDDC’s developmental initiatives in the Niger Delta region. Igo Weli, SPDC’s Director and Country Head of Corporate Relations, emphasized that their support for the NDDC aligns with Shell's broader goals for regional development. This support includes various social investments in health and education, which are essential for the sustainable development of the communities where Shell operates. Shell Nigeria’s contributions are part of a long-standing tradition of community development programs that the company has supported since the 1960s. These programs have had a profound impact on Nigerian society. For example, the Health-in-Motion program has provided free medical services to over one million people since its inception. Additionally, Shell’s education initiatives have awarded over 3,450 secondary school grants, 3,772 university grants, and 1,062 cradle-to-career scholarship grants since 2016. The company also highlighted the Shell LiveWIRE entrepreneurship program, which has supported 73 businesses through training and mentorship, creating 97 new employment opportunities for Nigerians. Odugbesan reaffirmed Shell’s ongoing commitment to its social responsibilities, stating, “With the continuous support of our partners, we will persist in fulfilling our obligations to communities through statutory payments and various projects executed in collaboration with stakeholders.” This increase in contributions follows Shell Nigeria’s announcement of paying $1.09 billion in corporate taxes and royalties to the Nigerian government in 2023.

Exciting News from GIZ's PtX Hub! As we continue our mission to support our Namibian partners we are thrilled to share a significant milestone in our journey. Our team has successfully conducted a comprehensive Skills Gaps Analysis - titled: "Enhancing Employability: Skills Needs and Gap Analysis in Namibia’s PtX Sector.” This analysis is a result of collaborative efforts with the private sector, together, we've identified the projected skills requirements. On the other side, we analysed the existing training infrastructure. This study serves as the basis for initiating a skills dialogue involving all relevant stakeholders. Our collective aim is to ensure that this emergent industry becomes a potent generator of employment opportunities for Namibians, while concurrently empowering training institutions to adeptly respond to future demands.

I used to believe that LinkedIn was a platform where meaningful discussions and debates took place. However, recent experiences have proven me wrong. I feel compelled to clarify that my Ministry did not use any public funds to develop WANPNG. This platform is a community initiative by Kumul Petroleum Holdings Ltd (KPHL), connecting job seekers, employers, and training institutions in Papua New Guinea. One unique feature of WANPNG is that KPHL, a PNG company where our Prime Minister is the only Trustee Shareholder on behalf of 12 million Papua New Guineans, owns the data. Data is significant for government policies and decision-making, as we have zero visibility and data ownership on other job exchange platforms. Let's continue to support initiatives that empower our people to find decent jobs, uplift skills and contribute to national productivity. #WANPNG #KPHL #Transparency #CommunityInitiative

Thank you, Minister Kessy Sawang, for prioritising the Wan PNG (nation’s employment and training portal) launch event and making time to launch the platform. My feedback to all social media analysts is this: organisation or nation’s vision casting and Strategy Development is not for all of us. Implementing the Strategy usually requires everyone’s participation, so get involved. PNG as a nation will be ill-prepared in a fast-moving data and Artificial intelligence (AI) era. Data’s become a catalyst and central to decision making for all leading economies of the world. Nation or organization that controls and owns credible data will also be the first movers that will position their nation or organization to win. If our country is to disrupt the current status quo, we better be armed with the right story, the right people, the right strategy and most importantly, correct (accurate) data. A lot that is done at the moment is without data and feedback from some credible state data source. To forge a way forward with the nation’s development agenda, we require credible data sources for all central state planning agencies. So, I urge you to get your profile and provide data to key government agencies. We have to start somewhere.
