The Minister highlighted the Institute's pivotal role in training middle-level manpower essential for Nigeria's petroleum and gas industries.

"In line with the spirit and letter of the founding fathers, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources is willing and ready at all times to assist PTI in meeting its obligations," he affirmed.

He cautioned the students to adhere strictly to the Institute’s rules and regulations, warning against involvement in cultism, physical or sexual assault, and exam malpractice to avoid breaching their matriculation oath.

Dr. Onoji reiterated PTI's commitment to its founding mandate, urging the students to focus on their academic pursuits. He emphasized the importance of the petroleum and gas sectors in Nigeria’s energy transition efforts and called for collective action to accelerate development in these fields. 

The PTI boss added: "PTI aims to be the leading technical institute in Africa through training, research, and development. Our well-equipped facilities, including a rare on-campus demonstration drilling rig, support this vision," he stated.

 Alfred Victor Tochukwu of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Technology Department and Oghenevwogaga Prosper of the Welding Engineering and Offshore Technology Department , both Matriculating Students  expressed their gratitude to God, their parents, and the faculty members committed to guiding them through their academic journey.

The event marked a significant milestone for PTI, reinforcing its role in shaping the future of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry through quality education and training.
