Oando is set to take passionate, tenacious, driven, self-motivated young graduates from the job market through its 2025 Oando Joint Venture Graduate Acceleration Programme (OGAP) in partnership with Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) E&P Limited (NEPL).

The Oando Joint Venture Graduate Acceleration Programme is taking a decisive step to ensure the continuity of excellence and innovation in the energy sector.
According to Oando, its investment in people is grounded on the belief that its employees are the company’s greatest asset, recognising that nothing is more powerful than the collective will of a people.

As a proud indigenous oil and gas company, Oando has reiterated its commitment to closing the knowledge gap in the industry by grooming some of the best talents in the sector and giving them an edge and a pedestal to excel.

Historically, knowledge transfer within the Nigerian oil and gas industry was primarily facilitated through deliberate programmes that promoted local content participation enforced by the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act of 2010. These initiatives were instrumental in empowering indigenous companies and building local expertise, contributing significantly to the current reality where local players now control approximately 60 per cent of the nation’s production.

Oando’s commitment to this cause is unwavering, and through OGAP, it aims to strengthen the local talent pool further and contribute to the industry’s growth.

Given the recent shift towards indigenous leadership in the industry, the company, as a leader, understands the imperative to move beyond passive knowledge transfer by proactively implementing strategies that ensure the next generation inherits the industry’s accumulated expertise.
