The second in this series of highly succesful, high profile events took place on the 19th and 20th of October during the high-profile Nigerian Content Consultative Forum (NCCF).
Feedback from the UK delegation stated that the 2 day programme was of 'huge value' and provided a ‘unique’ opportunity to:
a) short cut the process of identifying and interacting with potential partners
b) meet and develop the relationships with senior operator representatives
c) and develop a better understanding of forthcoming legislation and the impact on prequalifying and tendering for future business in Nigeria.
The delegates were unanimous in their view of the high quality, professionalism and the relevance of Nigerian companies they met to their future business interests, all were highly impressed by the organisation of the NCCF and the evening network event supported by Shell and UK delegates expressed that they had also gaining significant value from the interaction with fellow delegates. A number of the UK companies explored the possibility to work together in partnerships to tender for forthcoming scopes of work combining their expertise.
