Unlocking Opportunities: A Finima Youth’s Guide to the NLNG Train 7 Project and Beyond

For years, it has been the talk of the town, a buzz of anticipation felt across Bonny Island. The Nigeria LNG (NLNG) Train 7 project is more than just another industrial expansion; it is a monumental undertaking, a promise of jobs, and a beacon of opportunity. For the youth of Finima, the primary host community, this project is happening right on your doorstep, representing the single greatest chance in a generation to build a rewarding career and secure a prosperous future.

But with great opportunity comes great confusion. How do you go from hearing about the project to actually working on it? What skills are they really looking for? How do you avoid the scams and false promises that always surround major projects? It can feel like trying to find a specific door in a massive, unmarked building.

This guide is your key. This is your detailed, practical, no-nonsense roadmap to unlocking the opportunities within the Train 7 project and, more importantly, building a career that will last long after the project is complete. It is time to replace uncertainty with a clear, actionable plan.

Part 1: Understanding Your Advantage – The Power of Local Content

Before you even think about skills or CVs, you must understand a fundamental principle that gives you a significant advantage: Local Content. This isn’t just a buzzword; it is a legal and operational framework designed to ensure that projects like Train 7 deliver tangible benefits to Nigerians, with a special focus on host communities like Finima.

The cornerstone of this framework is the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act. In simple terms, this law mandates that companies operating in the oil and gas sector must prioritise the use of Nigerian workers, contractors, and services. It was created to stop the old practice of major projects being built almost entirely by foreign experts, leaving local communities on the sidelines.

Flowing from this Act are Community Content Guidelines (CCG). These are specific agreements worked out between NLNG, its contractors, and the host communities. They detail how the broad principles of the NOGICD Act will be applied on the ground. The CCG sets out specific quotas and preferences for the employment of community indigenes, particularly for roles that do not require highly specialised, globally scarce expertise.

What does this mean for YOU?

It means you are not just another applicant in a vast sea of jobseekers. As an indigene of Finima, you are in a legally recognised priority group. When the main contractors for Train 7—a consortium known as the SCD JV (Saipem, Chiyoda, and Daewoo)—need to hire a welder, a scaffolder, an administrator, or a safety officer, they are obligated by law and by their agreements to look for qualified candidates from Finima first.

However, the key word is qualified. The law gives you the right of first refusal, but it does not guarantee a job if you do not have the required skills. Your advantage is the opportunity; your responsibility is to be prepared. This is where your journey truly begins.

Part 2: The In-Demand Skills – What You Need to Learn Now

Forget generic qualifications. Industrial construction projects on the scale of Train 7 require a specific portfolio of technical and vocational skills. If you want to be a valuable candidate, you need to focus on acquiring skills that are in high demand right now. These can be broken down into key categories.

A. Skilled Trades and Vocations: The Backbone of the Project

These are the hands-on roles that physically build the project. They are consistently in high demand and offer excellent career progression.

  • Welding (and Pipe Fitting): This is arguably the most sought-after trade. Projects like Train 7 involve connecting thousands of kilometres of pipes. Basic welding is good, but expertise in specialised techniques like TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding and Arc welding for industrial pipes will place you at the top of the list. Pipe fitters, who measure, cut, and prepare the pipes for welding, work hand-in-hand with welders and are equally crucial.
  • Scaffolding: No construction can happen at height without safe and secure scaffolding. Certified scaffolders (basic and advanced) who can erect, modify, and dismantle complex structures are essential for the safety and progress of the entire project.
  • Electrical Installation & Instrumentation: Every part of a modern gas plant runs on electricity and is controlled by complex instruments. Certified electricians who can safely run industrial cables, install panels, and connect equipment are vital. Instrumentation fitters who can install and calibrate control devices are also a highly specialised and sought-after group.
  • Crane and Heavy Equipment Operation: Operating mobile cranes, forklifts, and excavators requires specific training and certification. A certified crane operator is one of the most visible and responsible roles on a construction site.

Behind her, a qualified instructor in overalls is guiding a young man who is looking at a complex electrical panel. The atmosphere is one of serious learning, skill acquisition, and empowerment.

B. Essential Support Roles: Keeping the Project Moving

Not everyone can be a welder. A project of this magnitude needs a huge team of support staff to function efficiently and safely.

  • Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE): Safety is the number one priority on any world-class construction site. A basic HSE certification (Level 1, 2, and 3) is one of the most valuable entry-level qualifications you can obtain. It opens doors to roles like Safety Officer, Fire Watcher, and Permit-to-Work Coordinator.
  • Logistics and Supply Chain Support: Imagine the sheer volume of materials—pipes, cables, cement, equipment—that need to be received, stored, and delivered to the right location on site at the right time. Roles in materials control, warehouse operation, and logistics coordination are critical.
  • Administration and Document Control: Major projects generate mountains of paperwork, from technical drawings to work permits and reports. Meticulous and organised individuals are needed for administrative support and document control roles to keep the project information flowing correctly.

C. Professional and Technical Roles: The Brains of the Operation

For those with higher education or specialised experience, there are numerous opportunities.

  • Engineering: Graduates in Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering are needed for roles in supervision, quality control, and project management.
  • Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC): These are the inspectors who ensure that all work, especially welding and installation, meets the required international standards. A certification in QA/QC can lead to a highly respected and well-paid career.
  • IT Support: A modern construction site is heavily reliant on technology, from network connectivity to specialised software. IT professionals are needed to keep these systems running smoothly.

Part 3: Your Four-Step Action Plan – How to Get Hired

Knowing what skills are needed is only half the battle. You now need a concrete plan to make yourself the ideal candidate.

Step 1: Get Certified – Your Proof of Competence

In the industrial world, your word is not enough. You must have official certificates to prove you are trained and competent.

  • Identify Recognised Centres: Invest in your future by enrolling in a reputable vocational training centre. Look for institutions recognised by industry bodies, such as the Nigerian Institute of Welding (NIW). Don’t be tempted by cheap, unaccredited “certificate mills.”
  • Focus on Your Chosen Trade: Decide which skill you want to acquire and pursue the relevant certifications. For HSE, look for qualifications from bodies like NEBOSH or IOSH, which are globally recognised.
  • Document Everything: Keep all your certificates, training records, and qualifications in a neat, professional portfolio.

Step 2: Build a Professional CV – Your Marketing Document

Your Curriculum Vitae (CV) is the first impression a recruiter will have of you. It must be professional, clear, and tailored to the job you want.

  • Keep it Clean and Simple: Use a clear font and a simple layout. Focus on readability. Limit it to one or two pages.
  • Start with Your Contact Details: Your name, phone number, and a professional email address should be at the very top.
  • List Your Certifications First: For industrial roles, your technical certifications are more important than your academic history. List them clearly near the top of your CV.
  • Use Action Words: Describe any experience you have using strong verbs. Instead of “Was part of a team,” write “Collaborated with a team to successfully complete…”
  • Proofread, Proofread, Proofread: A single spelling or grammar mistake can get your CV thrown in the bin. Read it over carefully, and ask someone else to check it for you.

She is holding a crisp, printed CV and looking directly at the camera with a slight, confident smile. Her expression is one of hope, readiness, and professionalism, embodying the ideal job applicant

Step 3: Look in the Right Places – The Official Channels

To avoid scams, you must use the official recruitment channels.

  • The Main Contractors (EPCs): The primary employer for Train 7 construction is the SCD JV (Saipem, Chiyoda, Daewoo). Monitor their official career websites. Do not pay anyone who claims they can get you a job with them. All official recruitment is free.
  • Community Portals: Liaise with the official community bodies tasked with interfacing on employment. This could be the Finima Capacity Development Committee (FCDC) or the Finima Youth Congress (FYC). They are the official channels for receiving information and submitting CVs for community-specific roles. They will help you filter out fraudulent “agents.”

Step 4: Think Beyond Train 7 – Build a Lifelong Career

This is the most important step of all. Do not view Train 7 as a one-time job; view it as a world-class training ground. The skills you acquire here are not just “Train 7 skills”; they are globally recognised industrial skills.

  • Gain Experience: Once on the project, be a sponge. Learn everything you can. Show up on time, work hard, and maintain a positive attitude.
  • Network Professionally: Build good relationships with your supervisors and colleagues. These connections can lead to future opportunities.
  • The Bigger Picture: A certified industrial welder or a qualified HSE officer from the Train 7 project can go on to work on other major projects in the Niger Delta, in the Nigerian maritime industry, or even internationally. The end of the Train 7 construction phase should be the beginning of your long and successful career, not the end of a job.

Wari-Seniapu (Elders) of Buoye-Omuso Royal Group of Houses Respond to Bonny Titled Citizens Assembly (TCA) in Defiant Press Statement

By Engr Tamunofiniarisa Brown | Finima, Nigeria

In a bold and detailed press statement, the Wari-Seniapu—accredited representatives and heads of the various nucleus family units (Burusu) within the Buoye Omuso Brown Group of Houses of Finima—have issued a strong rebuttal to what they describe as a misleading and biased publication by the Tittle Citizens Assembly (TCA) of Grand Bonny Kingdom. Their release, issued under the title “That We May Preserve the Sanctity of Our Time-Honoured Unique Traditional Institution,” seeks to clarify their position regarding the recent formalisation of chieftaincy (Alawari) titles across Finima’s traditional family units.

At the heart of the statement is a critique of the TCA’s narrative, which the Wari-Seniapu claim has been shaped by subservience to the Amanyanabo-in-Council. They argue that the TCA has failed to live up to its constitutional and traditional responsibilities, having lost credibility and influence among the wider Ibani community. According to them, this failure is manifest in the TCA’s silence in the face of numerous anomalies and deviations from traditional norms within the Kingdom.

They allege that the TCA has become little more than a mouthpiece for the kingdom’s power brokers, providing justification for decisions made by the Amanyanabo-in-Council rather than representing the true interests of the people. The Wari-Seniapu refer to the abandonment of the TCA by prominent figures such as the late Amaopusenibo Aseme Frazer Dublin-Green, who reportedly distanced himself due to the assembly’s perceived failure to meet its objectives.

The statement commends the swift and intelligent responses of Finima’s Asawo and Ogbobiri-Asawo to the initial communique issued by the Bonny Kingdom Ogbobiri-Asawo and the Bonny Youth Federation. These rebuttals are described as both articulate and necessary and indicative of a conscious effort to educate the youth of Finima on their cultural and historical identity.

Regarding the formalisation of the chieftaincy status of Finima’s family units, which took place on 25th and 26th April 2025, the Wari-Seniapu insist the process is deeply rooted in historical precedent. They cite numerous examples within Bonny Kingdom’s history, including the 1942 declaration of independence by a faction of the Manilla Pepple House, noting that these events occurred without similar backlash. The reaction to the Finima initiative, they argue, reveals a short-sighted and narrow understanding of the Kingdom’s historical dynamics.

They further explain that Bonny Kingdom is a confederation of semi-autonomous communities and chieftaincy houses, each with sovereignty over its own lands and institutions. The monarch serves primarily a ceremonial role. Finima, they argue, entered into this union as a matter of convenience, not subordination, and its rights and distinctiveness must be respected.

The Wari-Seniapu raise legal concerns about attempts to redefine Bonny as a singular “Kingdom Community,” particularly in the context of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). They point out that Finima is recognised by law and judicial pronouncements as a host community entitled to direct benefits from International Oil Companies (IOCs). According to them, efforts to collapse Finima’s identity within a larger kingdom narrative are deliberate attempts to divert these resources unfairly.

An important section of the release is devoted to correcting the “erroneous” characterisation of the Buoye Omuso Brown Major House as being factionalised. They clarify that no such division existed prior to the installation and coronation of HRH Aseme Alabo Engr. (Dr) Dagogo Lambert Brown as Chief and Head of the House. It was only after this event, they allege, that the Amanyanabo-in-Council sought to create a rival leadership by installing Evans Brown as a parallel chief in Bonny town.

This move is labelled by the Wari-Seniapu as “abominable” and contrary to Ibani customs and traditions. They express disappointment that the TCA did not act to halt or condemn this alleged breach of protocol, calling it a missed opportunity for the Assembly to fulfil its advisory role.

They argue that the phrase “faction of Buoye Omuso Brown Major House” is a political construct aimed at justifying continued control over Finima and its resources by the central Bonny traditional leadership. In their words, “the faction… only ends with them in Perekule Palace at Okoloama and not in Finima.”

The Wari-Seniapu also raise alarm over what they describe as a centralised oligarchy of chiefs and traditional heads within the kingdom. They allege that many of these leaders have abandoned the governance of their individual houses in favour of consolidating power through a central council, from which they attempt to control other communities such as Finima, Kurama, Deghma, Oguede, Kalaibiama, and the Jumbo Major House.

Nevertheless, the statement strikes a tone of resilience and readiness. The leadership of the Buoye Omuso Brown Group of Houses, the Wari-Seniapu state, is fully aware of these manoeuvres and has the capability to resist them effectively. They express appreciation for the more balanced approach taken by the Okoloama Ikpangi, whose publication called for both sides to be heard without being judgemental.

In closing, the Wari-Seniapu extend an olive branch to members of the TCA who have opted to reach out for genuine dialogue rather than propagate division. They reaffirm Finima’s commitment to preserving its cultural integrity, asserting that political expediency will not be allowed to undermine its identity.

The release concludes with solemn blessings and affirmations in Ibani, encapsulating the spiritual and cultural depth of their message.

PRESS RELEASE BY CONCERNED WARI-SENIAPU-BOBHDOWNLOAD

the court affirms the nogicd acts and pias recognition of host communities

Finima as Host Community – The court affirms the NOGICD Act’s and PIA’s recognition

Finima as Host Community. The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Friday 15 September 2023, has ruled that the community where an oil and gas company operates has the right to host such activities and should be engaged in that regard by the company conducting such operations.
In accordance with the Community Content Guidelines of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, NCDMB, and the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, the Buoye Omuso (Brown) Founding Royal Major House of Finima (Founders of Finima, and owners of all lands in Finima) and Finima community in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State filed a lawsuit before the court. The lawsuit demanded recognition as the host community of the Nigeria LNG Limited.

The plaintiffs had on 15th August 2022, filed the suit through their Counsel, Prof Mike Ozekhome,SAN, for themselves and on behalf of the People of Finima Community of Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State, suing four defendants, namely, the Federal Minister of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Nigeria LNG Limited and Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

The court in its judgement held,agreeing with Ozekhome who led a team of lawyers comprising of Benson Igbanoi, Esq, Mrs Amauche Onyedum, amongst others, that, there exists a binding lease agreement between the NNPC, the NLNG Ltd and the FINIMA community; and that the community was entitled to compensation for breach of the said lease agreement.

They also complained about the Defendants’ failure to provide adequate relocation arrangements for affected members of the community which resulted in the breach of the said lease agreement and the NCDMB community guidelines.

The court also held that the plaintiffs have the locus to institute the suit in a representative capacity for the FINIMA community,as they testified and provided in court, a copy of the resolution wherein the entire community agreed to that effect.

They also, most notably, tendered an earlier judgement in rem delivered by Hon. Justice Inko-Tariah, sitting at the High Court of Rivers state, in suit no: PHC/174/72, wherein the trial Judge had declared that “all land situates and lying between FINIMA and Bonny belong to the FINIMA community represented by the Plaintiffs”.

In his decision in the case No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1419/2022, Justice Donatus Okorowo ruled in favour of the plaintiffs, the Buoye Omuso (Brown) Major House of Finima.
Respondents in the suit include Nigeria LNG Limited, the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
The plaintiffs had asked the court, among other things, to declare Finima as the host community of NLNG rather than Bonny Kingdom, just as the company had recognised Ogbum-nu-Abali community and Amadi-Ama community as joint host communities of its Corporate Head Office in Port Harcourt rather than Rebisi Kingdom or Okrika kingdom.

The plaintiffs, who contended in the abovementioned complaint that they are the founders and proprietors of the lands in Finima, sought and received all of the reliefs granted, represented by Amauche Onyedum, a Principal Counsel in Mike Ozekhome’s Chambers.
Some of the reliefs include, “A declaration that the Plaintiffs, who sued in a representative capacity for themselves and on behalf of the Buoye Omuso (Brown) Major House of Finima, (founders of Finima, and owners of all lands in Finima) and Finima Community in Bonny Local Government Area, Rivers State, is the host community housing the NLNG Plant and other NLNG facilities, referred to in the 2nd Defendant’s

“A declaration that the defendants’ refusal, neglect, and failure to ensure compliance with Sections 25, 26, 27, and 28(2) of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act, 2010, and Guidelines 1.0 to 7.0 of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board – Community Content Guidelines (NCDMB-CCG), 2017, as they apply to the Plaintiffs’ land in their community before or after the Defendants’ conduct is illegal, wrongful, unconscionable, and unlawful.”

An order of perpetual injunction prohibiting the defendants from performing any additional works or operations on the site of the NLNG Plant in Finima Community until they have complied fully with the terms and conditions agreed upon by the plaintiffs and the third defendant, the provisions of the NOGICD Act 2010, and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board
The management of Nigeria LNG Limited responded to the court ruling by stating that the company’s solicitors were reviewing the ruling and would respond as soon as it was appropriate.

The defendants must execute a leasing agreement between the plaintiffs and the NLNG or any other pertinent party within thirty days of the ruling, according to Hon. Justice Okorowo. The defendants were given one hundred billion naira in general damages by the judge for failing to acknowledge the plaintiffs as their host community.

The business remains committed on guaranteeing and maintaining a cordial relationship with its host community as a global gas firm, according to NLNG General Manager of External Relations and Sustainable Development, Mr. Andy Odeh, in a statement.
“Nigeria LNG Limited is aware of a decision made by the Federal High Court in Abuja on a case filed by the Buoye Omuso Brown House of Finima against the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, NNPCL, NLNG, and NCDMB, asking the court to interpret issues pertaining to host communities and the Petroleum Industry Act.

The company via Andy Udey further reiterated, “NLNG wishes to state that its lawyers are studying the decision and will react at the appropriate time.
“Nigeria LNG remains focused on ensuring cordial relationship with its host communities and remains committed to sustainable community development, peace in its areas of operation as it continues to be a to globally competitive LNG company helping to build a better Nigeria.”

The Honorable court, consequently, granted all the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs,to wit:

  • A DECLARATION that the Plaintiffs who sued in a representative capacity for themselves and on behalf of the Buoye Omuso (Brown) Major House of Finima, (Founders of Finima, and owners of all lands in Finima) and Finima Community in Bonny Local Government Area, Rivers State, is the host community housing the NLNG Plant and other NLNG facilities, referred to in the 2ndDefendant’s letter dated 3rd March, 1978, with reference No: GPD.001/S.1/21 50230/225, same being their ancestral homelands.
  • A DECLARATION that the refusal, failure and/or neglect by the Defendants, their representatives, aides, workers, agents, privies, and servants, to enter into a lease agreement with the Plaintiffs, and ensure compliance with the terms agreed upon by the 2ndDefendant and NCDMB Community guidelines constitutes a deprivation of the rights of the Plaintiffs as host community and a breach of the terms so agreed upon.
  • A DECLARATION that the Defendants ought not to have commenced any form of business in the Plaintiffs community without due, total and adequate compensation to and relocation of the Plaintiffs to a decent settlement which shall be in compliance with the terms duly entered into by the 2ndDefendant; and in any case not below the standards of what the Plaintiffs had enjoyed before the coming of the Defendants to their ancestral lands.
  • A DECLARATION that the Defendants’ non-compliance with the required terms, conditions and guidelines of extant laws, has had direct consequential adverse effect on the Plaintiffs, their livestock, buildings, tombs, totems, residential homes, streams, cash crops, minerals, life, means of livelihood and dignity of the human person.
  • A DECLARATION that the dealings on the said lands and alleged compensations clandestinely and surreptitiously paid to any person or persons not being the representatives of the Buoye Omuso(Brown) Major House and members of Finima Community are illegal, wrongful, unlawful, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
