President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of the former Sole Administrator of Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State, Engr. Abiodun Taiwo and others to serve on the Board of the Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun, Delta State.
Engr. Taiwo, the CEO of Const-Flow Global Engineering Limited and Mobile Trans Nigeria Limited, will serve on the PTI Board with Engr. Kehinde Akinola as Chairman, Hon. Shehu Maigari Doguwa (Member), Samuel Isichei (Member), and Njioku Afoke (Member).
The appointment of the new Board by the President is expected to provide a new direction for the Petroleum Training Institute.
The Petroleum Training Institute was set up with the vision to become the leading oil and gas technological institute in Africa. And for over four decades, the PTI in tandem with its mandate as enshrined in the Act setting it up, has provided programmes of instruction and research in oil and gas technology for the training of technical manpower needed for oil production.
This has led to the development of skilled technicians, technologists, certified personnel, continuing professional development and skills acquisition training for youths in the oil-producing communities of the Niger Delta.
