The management of Heritage Energy Operational Services Limited(HEOSL), operators of the OML 30 joint ventures last Saturday conducted a tertiary scholarship selection test for over 300 shortlisted candidates drawn from 112 host communities.

Commenting, the Chief Executive Officer of HEOSL, Ado Oseragbaje, said that the scholarship programme is one of the cardinal streams in the OML 30 JV partnership’s support for education as part of the strategic enhancement of human capital development in the communities where they operate.
He commended the host communities for their positive response to the process while enjoining them to continue to provide a peaceful and enabling environment for the company as “this type of partnership brings progress to all stakeholders”
Also speaking, General Manager, Government, Joint Venture and External Relations, HEOSL, Adesola Adebaw, said: “The scholarship selection process is highly competitive, fair and transparent which is why an experienced independent examination management body such as WAEC is coordinating. The idea is to ensure that only the best candidates are selected from the beneficiary communities”

Addressing the students shortly before the kick-off of the test, Head, Community Relations and Security, HEOSL, Sylvester Oko, said the company was passionate about their educational growth and encouraged them to be serious in their academic pursuit as those scholars who excel stand a chance of being employed in the company after graduation.
