Nigeria has vowed to sanction oil and gas companies that fail to comply with the Human Capacity Development provisions contained in the country’s Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act.
The Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, Simbi Wabote, made this known on Wednesday while delivering a keynote address at the second edition of the virtual stakeholders workshop for Human Capacity Development in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
Speaking on the topic, ‘Human Capacity Development: The Pillar for Nigeria’s industrialisation’, the NCDMB chieftain warned that the board would enforce periodic forensic audit for HCD programmes and companies found violating the NOGICD Act 2010 and the ministerial regulations in executing cost intensive Capacity Development Initiatives as mandated by the Act, would be sanctioned.
He said, “It has come to the attention of the board that some operating companies and services companies are reluctant to implement the HCD programmes as directed by the board. Most of the companies are testing the mettle of the board and I want to use this opportunity to inform erring companies that the board will meet appropriate sanctions to them as prescribed by the Act.”
He added that the board was mandated to ensure that the industry derives maximum benefits from huge investments and also ensure beneficiaries of the HCD training programmes find gainful employment in the sector.
Stressing the importance of human capacity development, Wabote said, ”With the rapid advancement in technologies used in the oil and gas industry, our industry will continue to be manned by foreigners and expatriates if we do not keep pace with the spate of technological development by developing the human capabilities required for the challenges of modern industrial technologies.

The Indian car manufacturer Mauto Electric Mobility has announced the marketing of its two electric motorbike models “Chap Chap” and “Commando” in Togo and Benin.
The two-wheeled machines would help to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the transport sector of the two West African nations.
The new development is in line with the climate ambitions of the authorities in Benin and Togo.
“The Commando electric motorbike is equipped with two 73.6V batteries that can travel at a maximum speed of 80km/h, with a range of up to 70km. It is marketed at 1.4 million CFA francs (2,166 euros) adjustable over 3 years at a rate of 1,299 CFA francs (about 2 euros) per day,” the company said.
As for the “Chap Chap” motorbike, it is equipped with a 72V lithium battery that can reach a speed of 90 km/h. The vehicle costs 1.93 million CFA francs (over 1,500 euros).
In Benin, these two-wheeled vehicles made available to professionals in the transport sector, households and companies will be recharged in stations that will soon be installed in Cotonou, in the Glo Djigbé industrial park.
In Togo, where M Auto has been present since September 2021, a recharging station will soon be operational in the Adétikopé industrial platform located 37 minutes from the capital Lomé.
“M Auto’s electric motorbikes are designed to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also to provide an innovative acquisition mechanism that promotes inclusion and develops the economy. The innovation we are bringing through these motorbikes reflects the energy transition that Benin, as well as other countries around the world, is committed to,”says Alan Kevin, General Manager of M Auto Group in Benin.
Eventually, the brand, which is also based in the United Arab Emirates, wants to produce and market one million of each of its electric motorbikes. In addition to production, M Auto also intends to convert conventional motorbikes (with combustion engines) to electric in order to promote green mobility in the West African community. This will limit noise and air pollution in Togo, where the company plans to create 2,000 green jobs for young people.
In this process, the Togolese authorities also decided in March 2022 to exempt electric vehicles from import duties. These vehicles are now approved by the government as part of a policy to accelerate the green economy.

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an independent U.S. foreign assistance agency that provided US$316 million in funding for the Ghana Power Compact II, still holds the view that there should be private sector participation in the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to ensure efficiency in its operations.
Ghana signed the Power Compact II programme with the Millennium Challenge Corporation in 2014 to address several challenges ECG was facing.
The project included ECG’s financial and operational turnaround, regulatory strengthening and capacity building and access project.
The rests were power sector generation improvement Energy efficiency and demand-side management project.
One of the requirements was for the Ghana Government to invite private sector participants into ECG’s operations.
After a rigorous bidding process, Power Distribution Services (PDS) Limited, a consortium led by Filipino-based Meralco, was selected and subsequently handed over the assets of ECG on March 1, 2019.
Unfortunately, barely four months later, the Government of Ghana, in July 2019, suspended the concession agreement and subsequently terminated it on grounds of an invalid Demand Guarantee presented by PDS.
An investigation by the Government of Ghana revealed that there was no approval by Competent Signatories to the Demand Guarantees issued by Al-Koot in Qatar, therefore, the transaction lacked the required authorisation and approval of the company.
Moreso, Al-Koot had an underwriting policy and guidelines which required the approval of the Central Bank of Qatar, but no such approval was granted by the Central Bank of Qatar.
Speaking to a section of Ghanaian journalists last week, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the MCC, Mahmoud Bah said his outfit respects the Government of Ghana’s decision to cancel the PDS deal with the Electricity Company of Ghana.
“We fully agree that private sector PSP in the ECG is required for us to have a sustainable solution. You cannot continue to do things the way you do. You have to inject some new perspective and new resources. The government can’t just do it all,” he argued.
According to Mr. Bah, the Government of Ghana acknowledges the importance of the private sector participant in the Electricity Company of Ghana and “as we speak, is addressing the issue of private sector participation.”
Emphasizing the importance of electricity, Mr Mahmoud Bah, said growth and electricity go hand in hand, stating that “the more you grow, the more electricity you need.
“No country has gone through development without electricity,” he pointed out.

South Africans have nothing to fear from the decommissioning of the country’s traditional coal power plants, Eskom Group CEO, Andre de Ruyter has said.
Speaking at the #EnlitAfrica2022 conference in Cape Town on fast-forwarding the country’s transition to clean, greener energy, De Ruyter said South Africa was at a critical juncture in its history as many of its power plants had come to the end of their intended life.
Although subsequent additions had to be made to the country’s energy infrastructure, he felt it would be remiss to “put a padlock on” those people who have invested in the coal value chain over the years.
According to a World Bank study he cited, close to 300 000 new jobs would be unlocked in the Mpumalanga coal belt region where most coal mines are located.
The number of jobs provided would be more than the number of jobs lost.
De Ruyter said the private sector was “waiting in bated breath to invest” but an enabling regulatory dispensation would first have to be established if the energy transmission process was to remain just.
The Just Energy Transition Partnership, which includes South Africa, Germany, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union has pledged many billions of dollars to overseeing a fair transition process.
In terms of the restructuring of Eskom, currently, the single buyer, seller and provider, the energy giant would have to be unbundled into three separate arms that would deal with the generation, transmission, and distribution of energy separately. Suppliers would then operate in a traditional market of “willing buyer, willing seller”.
He said Eskom, the government and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) were working on an aggressive timeline which would open the floodgates for the inclusion of the private sector in energy transmission, possibly even by the end of the year.
South Africa has the key to unlocking the climate challenge. This is the view of Mojabeng Manthata, Acting Head, Energy, Environment and ICT, Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA).
Speaking at the #EnlitAfrica2022 conference in Cape Town on Africa’s transition to green energy, Manthata said, “We have both the challenges and the opportunities and can serve as an example to the rest of the world.”
Rather than viewing the country’s energy crisis as an insurmountable hurdle, Manthata urged stakeholders in the energy supply industry to view it as an opportunity.
Manthata said many of South Africa’s power plants had approached the end of their lives and were needing to be decommissioned.
“We now have the opportunity to replace assets for the future,” she said.
South Africa had committed itself to being carbon-free and had abundant resources such as wind and water, making the time ripe to attract international investors.
By converting existing coal mines and plants to greener options, the existing communities, including women, could be transformed and upskilled.
“Decentralised energy is the cheapest form of energy and can be implemented quickly. However, we need to act fast,” she said.

Ghana’s state’s largest power generation, Volta River Authority (VRA), is planning to expand its generation capacity within the next five years.
The expansion, expected to cost the Authority some US$410 million, is intended to increase power supply and reliability in the West African nation.
According to VRA, it would undertake a comprehensive Rehabilitation, Modernisation and Life Extension Project (RMLEP) of the Takoradi Thermal Power Plant (T1) at the Aboadze enclave which has been in operation for 25 years (since 1997).
The company noted in a document that a consultant was engaged to undertake a technical assessment study of the T1 power plant and advise on improvements, not only about the physical conditions of the plant’s equipment but also about the efficient and reliable operational performance of the power plant.
“The recommendation was to undertake retrofitting of some equipment to extend the economic life of the plant by a further 10 years,” the company said in the 2022-2027 Multi-Year Tariff Review proposal submitted to PURC for consideration.
“This Life Extension project would cost USD 60 million and is expected to commence in 2022 till the end of 2023,” VRA explained.
Additionally, the VRA also intends to convert the existing 220MW simple cycle KTPS power plant into a 315MW combined cycle power plant.
This project would improve the efficiency of the power plant, increase generation output and reduce the cost of power generation from the power plant.
According to VRA, the project is currently at a developmental stage and is expected to be completed by 2025.
The estimated cost of the project is US$ 250 million.
The state power producer also wants to obtain a ‘No Objection’ from the Government
through the Ministry of Energy to rehabilitate the 132MW T3 Power plant which is currently out of service into a 132MW combined cycle power plant.
The estimated cost of the project is US$100 million and the rehabilitation work is expected to commence by the end of 2022.

Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, has outlined several projects to upgrade its transmission line to improve power transmission and reliability.
Among three critical projects GRIDCo intends to execute to improve the power transmission network are 161kV Aboadze-Cape Coast-Winneba-Mallam Transmission Line, 161kV Mallam-Pokuase Transmission Line and 161kV middle corridor transmission line (Akosombo-Tafo-Nkawkaw- Konongo-Kumasi).
These projects are expected to cost the state power transmitter some US$274 million
Besides these projects, GRIDCo would also undertake three major projects namely the Ghana-Germany Compact, an improvement of the southwestern infrastructure and the construction of a Backup Control Centre.
The Chief Executive Officer of GRIDCo, Ing Ebenezer Kofi Essienyi, disclosed this at a press briefing in Accra on Monday, June 6, 2022.
Ing. Ebenezer Kofi Essienyi, CEO Of GRIDCo
According to him, this forms part of efforts by the government to ensure a robust grid system to meet the increasing energy demands of businesses and households in selected parts of the country.
“Two main energy sector projects are programmed for commencement this year as part of a broader plan to transform the sector. The projects are the Ghana-Germany Compact and the Western Corridor Transmission Lines Upgrade,” he said.
However, outlining GRIDCo’s plan for the energy sector, Ing. Essienyi said the two programmed upgrades would help improve Ghana’s electricity grid capacity and also ensure that the country produces energy for local consumption and export.
He said the projects, when completed, would contribute to reducing the frequency and duration of power outages in parts of the country.

Ghana’s power transmission company, GRIDCo, has employed three female engineers who were part of the workforce that executed the US$50 million Kasoa Bulk Supply Points in the Central Region.
“I am happy to announce that three of the female engineers have been recruited to join GRIDCo effective June 1, 2022.
“We caught them young at this very substation,” Board Chair of GRIDCo, Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere said in a speech delivered at the commissioning of the Kasoa Bulk Supply Point.
According to him, the young females were made to go through “our due recruitment process.”
The move, according to GRIDCo, was to promote gender equality and Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education at the tertiary level.
Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere used the occasion to highlight some of the challenges confronting the power sector.
“GRIDCo and sister companies namely ECG, VRA and Bui Power Authority operate in a strategic sector with varied and complex challenges ranging from burdensome legacy debts to liquidity problems. And in the case of GRIDCo, legacy transmission lines dating to the 60s must be urgently reconstructed to meet the growing demand for reliable electricity supply throughout the length and breadth of the country,” he explained.
He said despite the many challenges, GRIDCo continues to work 24/7, travelling the valleys, mountains, bushes and forests where their towers and transmission lines traverse to wheel power to ECG, NEDCO and other customers in the chain.
“We fully recognise the importance of reliable electricity towards the nation’s industrialisation programme, particularly the 1D1F policy and are working strenuously to reinforce and reconstruct our transmission systems.
“GRIDCo, in the last five years, has repositioned itself towards playing its part in the development of Ghana,” Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere concluded.

Diesel prices have gone up astronomically to almost Ghc13 per litre in the Republic of Ghana, West Africa.
As of Monday, Star Oil and Allied Oil were selling a litre of diesel at Gh¢12.58 (US$1.57)and Gh¢12.50 (US$1.56) per litre respectively.
The leading OMCs-Goil and Total are selling a litre of diesel at Gh¢12.20 and Ghs12.40 respectively while Shell is selling at Ghs12.20 per litre.
Although the price of gasoil(diesel) has been oscillating on the global market, the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against the major currencies has been pushing the price of diesel higher.
On May 17, 2022, the price of diesel on the global market was hovering around US$1,066.25 per metric tons, according to data by eng.kurzy.cz. However, it nose-dived to US$1038.13 per metric tons, the following day and moved upward consistently to US$1,263.50 per metric tons on May 31, 2022.
As of Thursday, June 2, 2022, diesel price was pegged at US$1,299.50
Both Star and Allied have adjusted petrol prices upward to Gh¢10.19 pesewas per litre.
It would be recalled that the Institute for Energy Policy (IES) had predicted between a five and nine per cent rise in the price of petrol in the first pricing window in June.
“On the back of the cedi’s depreciation and the 11.05 per cent jump in the price of gasoline on the international fuel market, gasoline in Ghana is set to sell above Gh¢10.00 per litre, which translates into Gh¢45 per gallon,” it said in a statement.
The energy think tank, however, noted that prices of gasoil (diesel) and LPG would somehow witness some form of stability.
“The 5.49 and 4.13 percentage drops in the prices of fossil and LPG respectively on the international market may not necessarily lead to a reduction at the local retail outlets as most marketers will look to maintain their prices to offset the losses from the depreciation of the cedi,” IES noted.

British independent power producer (IPP) Savannah Energy has received approval from the Chadian authorities to build three renewable energy plants with a combined capacity of 500 MW.
The plants will supply power to three towns, as well as to oil facilities.
Chad’s installed electricity capacity is expected to increase over the next three years.
The UK-based independent power producer (IPP) has signed a related agreement with the Chadian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
The agreement covers the development of 500 MW of new installed capacity.
The largest will have a capacity of 300 MWp.
This solar photovoltaic plant will be located in Komé, a town in the Logone Oriental region.
The park will be equipped with an electricity storage system to reduce the impact of intermittency related to the production of solar photovoltaic energy.
The electricity produced will be used to power the Doba oil site, which currently relies on fuel oil.
The Komé solar power plant, which is expected to go into commercial operation in 2025, will be connected to Chad’s national electricity grid, providing clean electricity to the cities of Doba and Moundou.
“The expected tariff for electricity generated by this project is expected to be significantly lower than that paid for current hydrocarbon-based electricity generation in the region. At 300 MW, the Komé solar plant would be the largest solar project in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa) and would be the largest battery storage project in Africa,” Savannah Energy said..
The city of N’Djamena will be the main beneficiary of the Savannah Energy project.
The British IPP has also signed an agreement with the Chadian authorities for the construction of a solar photovoltaic plant with storage facilities, as well as a wind farm.
Each facility will have a capacity of 100 MW. The financing for the construction of these plants is expected to be completed between 2023 and 2024, with commissioning of the facilities between 2025 and 2026.
According to Savannah Energy, its investments will double the power generation capacity of the capital N’Djamena, and increase Chad’s total grid-connected power generation capacity by about 63%.
The central African country has an installed capacity of 314 MW according to Power Africa.

The Millennium Challenge Corporation, United States Agency, has commended the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) for the successful execution and completion of all the projects under the Ghana Power Compact II programme.
The successful completion of the MCC-Ghana Power Compact II programme brings in total over US$860Million investments in Ghanaian economy by United States Government through MCC’s compact programmes since 2012.
“In MCC’s global portfolio, the partnership with Ghana stands out as one of the few countries that has now completed two compacts amounting to nearly $860 million in grant dollars toward projects to boost inclusive economic growth.
“With the first $547 million compact in 2012, MCC and the Government of Ghana raised farmers’ incomes through private sector-led agribusiness development and major public works projects in Accra, notably the emblematic George W. Bush stretch of the N1 Highway. Today, these projects are benefiting 100,000s of Ghanaians (est. 1.2 million).The success of this first Compact has led us here today, to celebrate the unprecedented milestones of the second $316 million MCC-Ghana Power Compact,” Mahmoud Bah, Deputy CEO of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) told section of Ghanaian journalists at a breakfast meeting in Accra, the capital of Ghana.
Explaining the impact the compact has made in the Ghana’s power sector, Mr. Mahmoud Bah said: “With the construction of two BSPs (the two largest of the country), two primary substations and other IT investments, the MCC-Ghana Power Compact has increased the transmission network capacity by 1,015 MVA representing roughly 10% of Ghana’s total transmission capacity and has successfully enhanced the country’s power sector.”
Ghana signed the Power Compact II in 2014 during the John Mahama administration.
The Power Compact II programme led to the implementation of comprehensive projects including construction of Pokuase and Kasoa Bulk Supply Points, University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) Primary Substation and Ellen Moran Primary Substation in Kanda, IT Management systems at ECG, energy efficiency programs, capacity building and gender integration in the power sector.
Other projects executed under the Compact were the Air Conditioner and Refrigerator Test Laboratory at the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), the first of its kind in West Africa to promote renewable energy sources and curtail the country’s use of low-quality, less energy-efficient equipment, installation of more than 14,000 new, energy efficient LED streetlights and new metered energy management systems, replacement of old, inefficient lighting and setting a new standard for energy savings, rewiring of some selected markets, internship program for more than 300 female students in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) at leading energy sector institutions; and over 600 female STEM students participating in mentoring and training for professional growth and development.
The compact also helped the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) adopt a gender policy, action plan and new targets for greater female employee recruitment and promotion.
The compact officially ends on June 6, 2022
