For not possessing DPR licensing authority, Delta government blocks operation of offshore training centre
ShareTweetShareShare

The Delta state government has closed down an offshore safety training centre located at No. 34 Opete road, Otokutu, Delta state for failure to possess the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) licence and accreditation to operate. The Offshore Safety Training Center is operated by Opeans Nigeria Limited.

The closure of Opeans Nigeria Limited Offshore Safety Training Centre, which operates for middle and lower manpower for the maritime, oil and gas industry followed an unscheduled visit of the  commissioner for oil and gas, Prince Emmanuel Amgbaduba, to the premises of the firm.

The oil and gas commissioner who led top officials of the ministry including the permanent secretary, Mrs. Puegeren, directed that all training activities at Opeans Nigeria Limited Offshore Safety Training Centre located at No. 34 Opete road, Otokutu, Delta State should seize forthwith after officials of the centre failed to produce their accreditation and licence to back up their operations.

He said their accreditation which is supposed to be renewed yearly by the DPR had since expired and they have failed to renew it hence not accredited  to carry out any form of training.

Prince Amgbaduba noted that the Ministry places high premium on safety hence would not compromise standard on its periodic checks on firms that specialize in the training of manpower for the Oil and Gas industry.

The oil and gas commissioner said the visit was not to witch hunt any firm but to ensure that due process and necessary accreditation and licences were acquired before the commencement of  training in order to promote safety and standard in the Industry.

Prince Amgbaduba maintained that the ministry was complementing the efforts of  the DPR and directed the Director of the firm to report to the Ministry in Asaba on Monday with proof of claims of having up-to-date licence and accreditation.

Officials at the firm could not provide their DPR licence, DPR accreditation for the Center, and other relevant international certification as required on the DPR Guideline and Procedure for Travel To Offshore/Swamp Location and Obtainment of Offshore Safety Permit. The Officials claimed that the documentations were with the Director who was not on seat during the unscheduled visit .

The commissioner and his team were also at Lym Consults Nigeria Limited’s Offshore Safety Training center, located at Km 10, Sapele-Warri expressway, Otomewo Community near Warri. They commended the firm for satisfying all the requirements with the DPR and other certification organizations.

He said he was impressed that the firm (Lym Consults Nigeria Limited) has global standard and certifications stressing that certified training was the spring board to achieve safety  in the field.

Prince Amgbaduba emphasised that the Ministry will not allow any firm without appropriate licence and accreditation to operate in any part of the state, as any firm found wanting will face severe sanction and possible criminal charges.

The oil and gas commissioner said quacks cannot be allowed to train manpower for the Oil and Gas Industry which is the nation’s mainstay and charged the company to adhere strictly to all COVID-19 protocol in its operations.

The Chief Executive Officer Lym Consults Nigeria Limited, Mr Larry Otu commended the Commissioner for the  unscheduled visit saying that it showed Government’s commitment to ensuring safety of lives and property in the Oil and Gas Industry

He added that it has up to date DPR license, DPR accreditation and OPITO accreditations for all course being offered. He further stated that OPITO accreditation for courses like the Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Trainings (BOSIET) and others is a mandatory requirement as stated on the DPR Guideline and Procedure for Travel To Offshore/Swamp Location and Obtainment of Offshore Safety Permit.

He further stated that Lym Consults Nigeria Limited is the only company in Delta State that possess OPITO approval.

Mr Otu who took the Commissioner and his team on a guided tour of the firm’s premises promised to train five officials of the Ministry which Prince Amgbaduba applauded saying that government was willing to partner with such organisation.

A checked by our Correspondent on the DPR website https://www.dpr.gov.ng/offshore-training-centres/, shown that Lym Consults Nigeria Limited is currently the only Company in Delta State with a valid DPR accreditation for Offshore safety trainings.
