Project narrative

In July, 2013, Oluwole Oluleye, the executive secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), said in a statement that 70 Nigerian youths had begun the Bachelor of Science Studies in the Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology and Guangzhou City Construction College in China with the assistance of overseas scholarships. These scholarships were provided to Nigerians in order to build the country’s capacity in the oil and gas sector. The monetary value of these scholarships is uncertain.
