PTDF Management

The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), has begun the gradual phasing out of the Masters Degree component of the Overseas Scholarship Scheme. This follows the domestication of the training programme in reputable institutions in Nigeria beginning from the next academic year starting September 2010. The Fund has since the inception of the flagship capacity building programme trained one thousand, eight hundred scholars at the Masters level and two hundred and fifty at the Doctoral level in top ranked universities specialising in oil and gas courses in the United Kingdom.
The Executive Secretary of the Fund, Engr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma who gave a time frame of three years for the complete withdrawal of overseas training for Masters Degree Programmes, said this became imperative following the development by the Fund of sufficient and competent manpower to operate and manage the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
