THE 12th Practical Nigerian Content, PNC Forum, of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, NCDMB, opened on Monday in Yenagao with a dinner and evening of relaxation with lots of fun.
The evening of relaxation, according to the organizers, will assist the guests, participants and stakeholders to unwind and relax ahead of the 4-day Practical Nigerian Content forum.
Simbi Kasie Wabote, Executive Secretary of NCDMB, who declared the evening event open welcomed the guests and participants and stated that it was an opportunity to relax before the actual work of rigorous discussions start on Tuesday at the Board’s headquarter.
In his address, George Onafowokan, Managing Director of Coleman Wires and Cables said that his company was proud to have upgraded its sponsorship of the PNC event.
“Our story is the story of NCDMB, growing from a small business to the largest in the continent.
“We are proud that we upgraded to gold sponsors and this is also because of the theme; “Deepening Nigerian Content Amidst Divestments, Domestication & Decarbonisation” which focuses on local content,” he said.
The Coleman Cable boss, however, hailed the achievements of the NCDMB and added that the local content figures had been outstanding and there could be better.
Realnews reports that the guests were kept laughing by Forever, an ace Nigerian comedian who entertained them with some rib cracking jokes.
It recalled that over the past twelve years, the Practical Nigerian Content Forum organised in partnership with the Nigerian Content and Monitoring Board, NCDMB has developed alongside the Nigeria Oil & Gas Content Development Act, NOGICDA.
The event has continued to bring together top players in the energy sector to discuss the prospects and challenges in the industry as well as chart the way forward.
