Giving the latest Nigerian Content data just released in December, to journalists, Okunola said; “In 2023, 1484 applications for expatriates were received by the board, 1156 reqursts granted, while 328 applications were rejected.

Compare this to 2022 data, there were 1125 applications, 943 reqursts granted, while 172 applications were denied.”

Reiterating Okunola’s view, Manager, Corporate Communications of NCDMB, Esueme Dan Kikile, said that the board has achieved “83% level of achievement for its 10-year roadmap.”

He continued; “The foundation for NCDMB was laid in 2001 when former President Olusequn Obasanjío inaugurated the Presidential Committee on Local Content in the Oil and Gas Industry. He mandated the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to drive the policy and set certain targets.
