Historical:
In December 2019, the National Assembly proposed a bill to repeal the subsisting Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act (NOGICDA), 2010, and replace it with the Nigerian Local Content Development and Enforcement Commission Bill (“the Bill”), 2020. The Bill seeks to “establish the Nigerian Local Content Development Commission and provide for comprehensive framework, structures, programmes, and schemes for the institutionalization and strengthening of Nigerian local content in all sectors of the Nigerian economy for self-sufficiency, job creation, international competitiveness of Nigerian domestic businesses and economic diversification and for matters connected therewith.” -KPMG
– The great blessing of the Nigerian Content Bill journey has been in its scope expansion to cover more sectors especially, Information and communications technology (ICT) which is now pivotal to emerging developments. OTHERS BEING, petroleum, solid minerals mining, construction, power, manufacturing and health sectors.
Building the NEXT architects 
of the digital economy LC TechStartups, and harvesting youth’s innovation potential for prosperity through the transformative empowerment process of creative founders after our ongoing capacity up-skilling investment pilots in youths, is another bold signature initiative of the #Innovationbed local content development project by Programos Foundation! 
Senate passes the Petroleum Industry Bill
The Nigerian Senate passed the Petroleum Industry Bill earlier today. The Bill has now been passed by both houses of the National Assembly. Both versions of the Bill, which are similar, will go through the reconciliation process before going for the President’s assent.

- DELIVERABLES:
Kindly see the table below for a detailed list of benefits we intend to deliver to every Nigerian ministry/Parastatals:
The new social service value norm will respect that users in both public or private sectors must get value for money and no more ‘man-know-man’, ‘federal character’ syndrome to excel.
The proposed new regulator in the LC Bill will be called the “Nigerian Local Content Development and Enforcement Commission” (NLCDEC or the Commission). The NLCDEC’s mandate is similar to that of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) as articulated in the NOGICDA. The Commission will have seven (7) Nigerian Local Content (NLC) Directorates – 1. Oil and Gas, 2*. ICT, 3. Solid Minerals and Metallurgy, 4. Construction, 5. Power, 6. Manufacturing and 7. Health to oversee, coordinate, monitor, administer and enforce the implementation of the provisions of the Bill in the respective sectors.
