At a moment when Nigeria's oil industry is transferring ownership from international giants to indigenous hands, Oando Energy Resources has opened a 12-month drilling engineering programme in Port Harcourt — a quiet but consequential act of nation-building.

It is a recognition that sovereignty over resources means little without sovereignty over the expertise to manage them.
