\n

The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) says its scholarships are being awarded strictly on merit in line with the Federal Character regulations.<\/p>\n

According to the PTDF, equal numbers of scholarships are awarded to each state, with additional slots made available for the oil-producing states.<\/p>\n

Dr Bello Gusau, Executive Secretary, PTDF, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Executive Secretary said that this was to ensure fairness, equity and fair play in the scholarship allocations.
\nGusau explained that additional slots were also made available for the best female candidate from each geo-political zone.<\/p>\n

As for people with disabilities, he said every effort was made to ensure that disabled candidates were provided with accessibility facilities to enable them to participate in the selection process at no disadvantage.<\/p>\n

He said in 2022, under the fund\u2019s In-Country Scholarship Scheme (ISS), PTDF provided scholarships<\/a> to 19 undergraduates and one Masters’ Degree award to Persons Living with Disabilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In order to monitor the progress of beneficiaries of PTDF grants in local and foreign institutions, he said awardees\u2019 schools (supervisors) were required to forward regular progress reports.<\/p>\n

He further said that scholars falling below the required standards ran the risk of having their scholarships revoked.<\/p>\n

He added that regular monitoring visits were conducted by the fund\u2019s staff members to have a first-hand assessment of the scholars\u2019 progress and general welfare.<\/p>\n

On remarkable contributions made in the development of the petroleum sector since its establishment, he highlighted some of its contributions going by the mandate of the fund.<\/p>\n

He said the fund had provided scholarships, wholly and partially, to successful Master’s and PhD applicants that undertook petroleum-related courses.<\/p>\n

The PTDF boss said the fund had also made available suitable endowments to deserving Nigerian Universities under the fund\u2019s Endowment Programme.<\/p>\n

As part of the mandate of the fund, he said, PTDF had provided suitable books and journals through its Strategic Planning and Documentation Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fund provides training to major stakeholders in the industry including staff of Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority and Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also provides training to the Training Institute, Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd., National Oil Spill Detection and Recovery Agency, Union Leaders of PENGASSAN and NUPENG and other stakeholders in the oil and gas industry.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training is designed for participants to acquire new skills and techniques to improve their effectiveness and efficiency in the performance of their jobs,\u201d he said.
\nGusau further said that the fund had provided support to Nigerian university lecturers under its University Lecturers\u2019 Skills Enhancement Training Programme (ULSETP).<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the programme, lecturers from selected oil and gas-related departments of Nigerian universities are sponsored to undergo training programmes in UK and French universities with a view to exposing them to global best practices,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the fund\u2019s quest for creating the necessary synergy among stakeholders in the industry, he said PTDF had over the years built strategic collaboration with key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

He listed such stakeholders as the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society (NMGS); the National Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).<\/p>\n

Others, according to him are the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) and the Nigerian Association of Indigenous Petroleum Explorers and Producers (NAIPEC) amongst others.<\/p>\n

\u201cPTDF does this by supporting the associations through financial\/material support in their conferences, seminars, and printing of journals.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
