Site Visit is the pinnacle of this year’s Practical Nigerian Content Forum as marked today in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa Sate.
The PNC Forum 2025 Site Visit was a highlight, with Collective Power demonstrating the high level of quality and expertise indigenous companies are bringing to the sector.
It was an eventful week, marked by various activities including a pre-conference golf tournament as well as welcome reception, dinner sponsored by Hobark International Limited, as prelude to the annual gathering of the shakers and movers of the industry.
During the course of the conference, participants were honoured to a welcome breakfast prior to registration, sponsored by GIL. The exercise proper kicked off afterwards.
