“In spite of the different governments’ interventions, it is evident that the nation is nevertheless grappling with shortage of skills.

“We do not have the necessary expertise in Nigeria and we have to appear elsewhere. We have proffered options that will address the weaknesses and bridge the capabilities and improvement wants without which it will be hard for Nigeria to totally industrialise,” she said.
The Managing Director of the Oil and Gas Free Trade Zones Authority Onne, Honourable Alabo Victor, concurred with the Director General and noted that, the Free Trade Zones are designed to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Oil and Gas Sector.
