15. THE ROLE OF TRAINING AND SKILLS ACQUISITION
In an Executive Briefing to the World Economic Forum on “The Future of Jobs and Skills in Africa – Preparing the Region for the Fourth Industrial Revolution” (May 2017), the authors stated that “Education and work in Sub-Saharan Africa will determine the livelihoods of nearly a billion people in the region and drive growth and development for generations to come. As one of the youngest populations in the world, it is imperative that adequate investments are made in education and learning that holds value in the labour market and prepares citizens for the world of tomorrow. In addition, as the global transformation of work unfolds in Africa, policymakers, business leaders and workers must be prepared to proactively manage this period of transition”.

16. WHAT IS LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING?
Broadly defined, Local capacity building is seen as the "process of developing and strengthening the skills, instincts, abilities, processes & resources that organizations and countries need to survive, adapt, and thrive in a fast-changing world”.
NIGERIA’S LOCAL CONTENT ACT DEFINITION
Section 106 of the Act defines Nigerian Content “ NC” as
“the quantum of composite value added to or created in the Nigerian economy by a systematic development of capacity and capabilities through the deliberate utilization of Nigerian human, material resources and services in the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry”

17. ROLE OF TRAINING IN LOCAL HUMAN CAPACITY BUILDING
It is obvious that for locals to participate as professionals in the Oil and Gas Industry, they have to be trained in the complex processes of the industry and certified according to international standards for such practice.
Realizing this therefore and in a bid to truly achieve the most singularly important goal of the Local Content Act in Nigeria, NCDMB rallied all Companies offering trainings of various kinds in the industry and formed them into a unified business body with the challenge to go all out, improve their capacities and capabilities and strive with earnestness to aid the Board realize this goal of making Nigerians useful in the core businesses of oil exploration via human capacity building, hence Oil and Gas Trainers Association of Nigeria (OGTAN) was born.
