President Muhammadu Buhari will on August 13th inaugurate the 17-storey headquarters of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) in Bayelsa State.
A statement by the board’s management in Abuja said that the president would perform the ceremony virtually, after undertaking a virtual tour of the edifice, together with other accompanying facilities.
The other facilities include the 1000-Seater Capacity Auditorium, Four-Level Car Park and 10 megawatts gas Independent Power Plant at Elebele.
“The power plant was constructed in partnership with the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), and will provide uninterrupted electricity to the NCDMB structures.

“Other outfits expected to benefit from the power supply are the Nigerian Oil and Gas Park being developed by the board at Emeyal 1n Bayelsa, and select structures in the state,” it said.
The ultra-modern Nigerian Content Tower, whose construction started in 2015, was built by an indigenous company, Megastar Technical & Construction, using mostly locally sourced materials and labour.
The project generated over 250 direct and indirect jobs and created vast opportunities for artisanal skill development.
