The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC<\/a>, yesterday, expressed concern that the persisting volatility in the price of crude oil is putting pressure on the local content initiative of the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Bayelsa, at the ongoing 9th Practical Nigerian Content conference, Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari, stated that with this reality, it had become expedient, for the Federal Government and stakeholders to raise the bar on the Nigerian content policy.<\/p>\n

He said : \u201cThe Nigerian content policy has indeed been a catalyst for the nation\u2019s industrialisation. There is, however, no doubt that the resilience of local content policy is being tested under the present volatility in oil prices experienced in the global oil and gas market. Now is therefore, the time to raise the bar of the Nigerian content policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that in this regard, the NNPC had been implementing the Nigerian Content Policy as enshrined in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
