Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria
Limited has awarded international post-
graduate scholarships to 13 first class
Nigerian graduates.
The EEPNL, an affiliate of Exxon Mobil
Producing Nigeria, in a statement on
Monday, said the offer would enable the
beneficiaries to further their careers in
the oil and gas industry.
The scholarships cover tuition,
accommodation and sundry fees for their
personal upkeep.
At the award presentation in Lagos, the
Executive Director, Mobil Producing
Nigeria, Mr. Udom Inoyo, said, “It does
not need to be pointed out that the
academic system in Nigeria is in a
deplorable condition.
“Recent happenings alone are reflective of
the state of affairs in the education
sector. The Academic Staff Union of
Universities is once again on strike,
putting the education of several
thousands of students on hold
indefinitely.
“Things cannot be allowed to continue as
they are. The challenge facing our
educational institutions is something that
must be addressed by everyone.
“At EEPNL, we are doing our part by
offering these international post-graduate
awards to qualified students. We give
them the opportunity to further their
educational goals in an environment free
of some of the challenges we are
presently facing in Nigeria.”
He also urged the beneficiaries to put
more efforts in the pursuit of their
careers.
He added, “You have done well to have
come this far. But now, you must go even
further. You must see yourselves as
ambassadors of Nigeria and, above all, you
must return to make contributions to
national development.”
The Deputy Manager, National Petroleum
Investments Management Services, Mrs.
Iyabo Ayobami-Ojo, said, “We at NAPIMS
have identified EEPNL’s scholarship award
as impactful if you desire higher growth in
life.
“My charge to you is that you should go
there, work hard and be good
ambassadors to Exxon Mobil, to your
parents and to your country, Nigeria.”
