According to a company statement on Monday, the programme offers graduates hands-on experience across key operational and business functions, complemented by mentorship from seasoned industry professionals.
Participants will gain exposure to both field and office environments, providing insight into Energia’s core operations and the broader oil and gas value chain.
Speaking at the launch, Energia’s Chief Operating Officer, Oladimeji Bashorun, said, “At Energia, we recognise that the future of our industry lies in the hands of today’s young professionals. This programme is our way of investing in Nigeria’s brightest minds, equipping them with practical skills, exposure, and the confidence to thrive in a fast-evolving energy landscape.”
The company’s General Manager, HR & Corporate Services, Tope Daramola, added that the initiative is vital for building a sustainable talent pipeline.
“Our goal is to provide young Nigerians with more than just work experience; we are offering a launchpad for meaningful careers. Through mentorship, teamwork, and continuous learning, our trainees will develop the competence and values that define Energia’s culture of excellence and innovation,” he said.
The programme is open to Nigerian graduates with a minimum of a Second-Class Upper (2:1) degree in fields such as Engineering, Geosciences, Business, or Finance, or a Second-Class Lower (2:2) degree with a Master’s distinction.
Applicants must have completed the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in 2023 or later.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has set its initial public offering price at ₦525 per share, with the company seeking to raise about ₦2.15 trillion as it prepares to enter Nigeria’s public equities market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the offer for 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 each. If fully subscribed, the offer would generate approximately ₦2.15 trillion, equivalent to about $1.6 billion at current exchange rates.
The offering is expected to open on 14 September 2026, according to Aliko Dangote, the president of Dangote Industries. The planned sale is positioned to become one of the largest equity offerings in Africa.
The IPO marks a significant step in Dangote Group’s plans to broaden ownership of the refinery and raise additional capital for expansion.
The refinery currently has a stated processing capacity of 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Dangote has said the company plans to increase that capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day as part of its longer-term expansion strategy.
The planned share sale follows a $1 billion underwriting programme completed in August, providing additional financial backing ahead of the public offering.
The refinery, located in the Lekki area of Lagos State, is one of Africa’s largest industrial projects and has become an increasingly important player in Nigeria’s fuel supply market since beginning operations.
The public offering will give Nigerian investors an opportunity to acquire shares in the refinery directly, while providing Dangote Petroleum Refinery with fresh capital to support its next phase of growth.
The company has also indicated ambitions to expand beyond its current Nigerian operations, with Dangote recently announcing plans for another refinery project in Kenya.
