ExxonMobil Nigeria partners with AAPG Africa Region on Lecturer Training

Published
American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)

AAPG Africa Region in partnership with ExxonMobil Nigeria kicked-off a 5-day short course on Structural Geology in line with ExxonMobil Nigeria’s commitment towards developing Nigerian geoscientists under ExxonMobil Nigeria’s Universities Assistance Program, UAP. Opening the event on 27th June 2016, GM Exploration at ExxonMobil Nigeria Mr. Andrew Ejayeriese spoke about the deficiency in geoscience skills competencies leading to poor recruitment of Nigerian trained graduates into the upstream industry, hence the train-the-trainer initiative designed for equipping University geoscience Lecturers with up-to-date knowledge in key areas of geoscience through 5-day lecture series led by world-class instructors. Mr. Ejayeriese spoke about other ExxonMobil initiatives for Nigerian Universities under the UAP, and encouraged participants in this year’s Structural Geology course to share knowledge gained with their students.

This year’s lecture is led by Prof. Terry Engelder of Pennsylvania State University – an active researcher with close to 46 years of teaching and research experience. AAPG Africa Region commends the support and commitment of ExxonMobil to this initiative despite sustained downturn in the oil industry.
