1. The CEO of NUPRC just raised a fundamental issue about huge gaps in SKILLS. This seriously calls for concern, especially when we keep saying there are no jobs.
Here are the jobs, but no skillable and scalable workforce to fill them.
So it will be interesting if young people can deliberately learn the following skills:
a. How to study rocks and find oil underground (Geoscience/Geology)
b. How to design and manage oil wells and production (Petroleum Engineering)
c. Digital tools โ computer models of oil fields (digital twins), data analysis, automation and modern drilling technology
d. Practical hands-on field work, not just certificates โ real experience with equipment, drilling and operations
e. Mid-level technical skills that companies are losing as experienced people leave the country.
2. The jobs are there. The skills are missing. Time to close the gap.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

Never be tempted to use your position to commit illegality especially if youโre a career based person.
Iโve seen men fall for things they could have avoided that ruined their careers

TROOPS BUSTS INTERSTATE ARMS RING, ARRESTS DISMISSED POLICE PERSONNEL IN PLATEAU
Troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE (OPEP) have recorded a major operational success with the arrest of a suspected high-profile arms trafficker linked to an interstate illegal weapons network. The breakthrough followed credible intelligence on the movement of illicit arms across state lines. Acting swiftly, troops of Sector 6, in collaboration with Headquarters Operation ENDURING PEACE, executed a coordinated intelligence-led operation on Sunday, 14 June 2026.
The suspect, travelling in a white Peugeot vehicle from Jos South towards the Makera axis in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, was identified, placed under surveillance and intercepted at a military checkpoint in Makera. A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of two locally fabricated pistols, 167 rounds of 9mm ammunition, three cans of pepper spray and a jack knife. Other items found in his possession include two mobile phones, two cutlasses, a police staff tag, photographs of the suspect in police uniform, two ATM cards, a National Identification Number (NIN) card and cash amounting to N73,300.
Preliminary findings identified the suspect as Inspector Danjuma Yusuf, formerly of Nigeria Police Force Base 7, Abuja, who had been dismissed from service. Further intelligence indicates that the suspect is a key figure in an interstate arms trafficking syndicate, allegedly supplying weapons to criminal elements involved in terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes. He is currently in the custody of the troops where further interrogation is ongoing to uncover his network, including associates, financiers and supply channels.
His arrest marks a significant disruption of illegal arms trafficking networks and underscores the effectiveness of ongoing intelligence-driven military operations aimed at curbing the proliferation of illicit weapons.
The Nigerian Army, in collaboration with other security agencies, remains committed to safeguarding lives and property while sustaining offensive operations against all threats to national security. The public is urged to continue providing timely and credible information to support efforts at dismantling criminal networks and restoring lasting peace.
