His words:  “The new operating philosophy should lay emphasis on in-country manufacturing, job creation, skills development, technology development, capital retention, research and development and fostering sectorial linkages with other critical sectors of the economy in order to drive industrialization.”

He added too that NNPC was working hand in hand with the NCDMB to align the Nigerian Petroleum Exchange portal and the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Joint Qualification System portal.

This, he said, was to capture the capacity of local companies adequately.

He stressed the need for a closer examination of the compliance level of the extant legislation and policy on Nigerian Content to evolve new models that would shape the policy and legislation on the subject in many areas.
