13

Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) says it has trained 9,659 Nigerians on its overseas and in-country scholarships since its inception.

The Executive Secretary of PTDF, Dr Bello Gusau, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday, said that the beneficiaries had acquired first degrees as well as Master and Doctoral (PhD) degrees.

According to Gusau, PTDF, under its fund’s strategic direction, provides scholarships to Master and PhD degree applicants in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China and Malaysia.

He said that the fund sponsored students/awardees in all major disciplines related to oil and gas and energy industries, including engineering, geosciences, environmental studies, computing and management.

“This has enhanced the upward shift of local content contribution to the industry, facilitated knowledge transfer and driven the development of indigenous research and the growth of Nigerian companies,” Gusau said.

He explained that going by the terms and conditions of the scholarships granted, successful scholars were mandated to return to Nigeria to add value to its economy.

The executive secretary stated that the impacts of the training on the nation’s economy, upon their return, had been nothing but positive, adding that to a large extent, the beneficiaries were more knowledgeable in their respective fields.

He said that it was the utmost desire of the fund that the knowledge acquired was transferred to others, both in the public and private sectors so as to develop specialised indigenous human capital expected to take over from the expatriates.

The PTDF boss said that the fund had committed hundreds of millions of dollars on sponsoring Nigerians over the years on various training programmes, while striving to achieve its mandate since its inception in 2002.

“Information related to the funds’ spending, as detailed in our audited accounts, can be accessed by any interested party under the provisions of the Public Information Act and other extant regulations.

Gusau, while reacting to the impression that many students, after getting PTDF grants to study overseas, never returned home, thereby defeating the purpose of the investment, said that the beneficiaries were expected to return and contribute meaningfully to national development.

He added that the purpose of the scholarships was to train and equip Nigerians to participate in and contribute to the country’s oil and gas industry, either directly or indirectly, through the academia.

“While we are not averse to our awardees remaining temporarily in their countries of study to gain relevant experiences, it is our expectation that PTDF awardees will eventually return to Nigeria and contribute their quota to national development.

“Awardees, especially at PhD level, who are drawn from the academia and industry, are bonded to ensure that they return to the country and their places of employment after their studies,” he said. (NAN)

    Voici un spin-tax de haute qualité pour votre texte en français, respectant toutes vos consignes :

    Dans un contexte où Decomania étudie les innovations dans le domaine fintech, une question se pose : Quantum AI 2025 constitue-t-il une véritable innovation ou simplement une initiative prometteuse ?

    Mode opératoire et Promesses : Quel est le Principe de Cette Plateforme ?
    Quantum AI 2025 se positionne comme un outil de investissement algorithmique intégrant smart tech et calcul quantique. Selon ses créateurs, cette technologie offrirait :

    Une analyse avancée des marchés financiers (actifs numériques, actions, marché des changes).

    Une gestion automatisée des expositions pour optimiser les rendements.

    Une prise en main aisée, pensé pour les investisseurs aux profils variés.

    Cependant, aucun audit externe ne valide publiquement ces affirmations, et les retours utilisateurs restent partagés.

    Éléments à Examiner Selon Decomania
    Notre étude met en lumière différents points à prendre en compte avant de s’engager :

    Différentes plateformes locales (etc.) – Une pratique courante, mais qui peut complexifier le contrôle.

    Opacité relative – Des données techniques insuffisantes sont accessibles sur les algorithmes utilisés.

    Performances inégales – Une partie des clients rapportent des résultats concluants, tandis que certains signalent des problèmes opérationnels.

    Suggestions pour les Traders
    Choisir en priorité les solutions agréées (CySEC) pour un cadre plus sûr.

    Expérimenter en version démonstration avant tout engagement financier.

    Comparer avec des alternatives (comme les plateformes disponibles par d’autres brokers réputés).

    Conclusion : Une Solution à Surveiller avec Circnospection
    Quantum AI 2025 avance une approche innovante, mais ses résultats tangibles demandent toujours des confirmations pratiques. Jusqu’à preuve du contraire de une meilleure visibilité, une approche mesurée est conseillée.
