The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has partnered with Harrisbay Integrated Services Limited to launch a training programme on computer networking and cybersecurity in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The programme is designed to equip participants with essential skills to protect data and safeguard critical infrastructure within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

Boosting Cybersecurity Capacity

The initiative forms part of NCDMB’s ongoing efforts to promote local content development and strengthen technical expertise in the energy sector. By investing in cybersecurity capacity building, NCDMB and Harrisbay Integrated Services Limited aim to contribute to a safer and more resilient oil and gas industry.

The training covers key areas of cybersecurity, including threat analysis, risk management and incident response, providing participants with practical and industry-relevant knowledge.

Empowering Youths Through Digital Skills

The programme also aligns with NCDMB’s mandate to develop local talent and empower youths with digital skills relevant to the evolving demands of the oil and gas sector.

It is expected to benefit oil and gas professionals, IT specialists and related organisations by enhancing cybersecurity capabilities and reducing vulnerability to cyber threats. Through hands-on training and practical exposure, the initiative seeks to strengthen the overall security posture of the industry.
