“It is for this reason that we have continued to demonstrate our commitment to building mutually beneficial partnerships and supporting the Federal Government’s Nigerian Content Development (NCD) policy aimed at building indigenous capacity in the nation’s oil and gas industry
“Chevron companies in Nigeria are at the forefront of promoting Nigeria’s ideals of Nigerian Content Development. The overall objective of Chevron’s Nigerian Content (NC) Strategy is to encourage the participation of Nigerian companies in the oil and gas industry through the deliberate creation of business opportunities for Nigerian service providers and suppliers.
“We have helped in building the capacities of several Nigerian businesses by providing contracts and procurement opportunities to Nigerians on all projects in our operations.
“Chevron is also helping to grow the Nigerian economy by contributing to the development of communities in the areas of our operation. We do all this, not just because it is required by law, but because it is the right thing to do.
“In the last 10 years, for instance, Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) has spent an estimated annual average of $1 billion on Nigerian suppliers and service providers.
“Chevron is proud to be a part of Nigeria’s socio-economic development. We will continue to help build Nigerian businesses through the harnessing of its tremendous human resources and capacity; and support for Nigerian Content policy of the Federal Government,” Kennedy stated.
