PNC Forum to Discuss Next Frontier for Nigerian Content Implementation

The stage is set for the forthcoming Practical Nigerian Content (PNC) Forum scheduled to take place from 2 – 5 December 2024 at the Nigeria Content Tower in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. 

This year’s edition of the forum is themed: ‘Defining the Next Frontier for Nigerian Content Implementation’, will feature conversations on Nigerian Content Implementation and many other critical topics.

The theme of this year’s forum is timely and forward-thinking, reflecting the significant shifts in the oil and gas industry. The ongoing divestment of assets from International Oil Companies (IOCs) to indigenous companies highlights the effectiveness of local content policies, as more local players take ownership of key assets. The theme sets a clear vision for the future, focusing on the need to further develop the capacity of indigenous companies, address gaps within the industry.

Speaking during a media briefing to announce the theme of this year’s forum, the Portfolio Director – Africa/Country Director – Nigeria, Wemimo Oyelana, said: “The PNC Forum is the premier event that steers the conversation for deepening Nigerian Content across the energy sector. Nigerian Content must be at the heart of the transformations we see in the sector. At this year’s PNC, we anticipate robust conversations from industry leaders that will advance the implementation of Nigerian content in the domestic gas utilisation space, increase in country valorisation within the manufacturing sector, and promote capacity development as the bedrock of local content – all to meet energy demand for socioeconomic development and growth.”

For over 13 years, the PNC forum has brought together industry stakeholders to discuss critical successes, issues and challenges regarding Nigerian ontent development and implementation while also proposing solutions. PNC forum, organised in partnership with dmg Nigeria events and Levmora Services, is the foremost event focused on the NOGICD Act.

The PNC forum also provides a chance to deepen Nigerian content through impactful community engagement (CSR), highlighting the importance of collaboration and regional integration as key growth drivers.
