NAE awards postgraduate scholarships to 30 Nigerian students

Eni’s subsidiary, Nigerian Agip Exploration Limited (NAE), has awarded scholarships to 30 Nigerian graduates for postgraduate studies in the country and overseas universities.

NAE made this known in a statement on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

The company said the scholarships were awarded under its 2024/2025 Scholarship Awards Scheme.

It stated that under the scheme, 10 beneficiaries will undertake postgraduate studies in various universities in the United Kingdom and Canada, while remaining awardees will pursue their postgraduate studies in Nigerian universities in disciplines such as Engineering, Geosciences, Petroleum and Environmental Technology, Renewable Energy and Petroleum Law.

Speaking at a ceremony held to award the beneficiaries in Abuja, the Vice Chairman and Managing Director of NAE, Fabrizio Bolondi, said the scholarship award has presented the awardees with the opportunity to pursue their dreams and achieve their career objectives.

“The award ceremony highlights our continuous commitment to the future of education, innovation, and progress in Nigeria, and a moment of pride for the company to recognize the incredible talent and dedication of the scholars,” Bolondi stated.

He also enjoined the beneficiaries to remain focused on their studies to capture the full benefits of the initiative.

The statement added that the postgraduate scholarship scheme was instituted by NAE PSC partners in 2007 as part of the company’s human capital development initiatives to promote knowledge acquisition and bridge the skills gap in specialised fields relevant to deep offshore oil and gas operations in Nigeria.
