Energia Ltd, a leading Nigerian independent energy company, has unveiled a graduate trainee programme to accelerate the career growth of young Nigerian professionals in the energy sector.

Oladimeji Bashorun, chief operating officer of Energia Ltd., said this in a statement on Monday.

Mr Bashorun said the programme, a structured development initiative, offered graduates the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across key operational and business functions.

He added that they would receive mentorship and coaching from seasoned industry professionals, alongside exposure to the field and office environments in Energia’s core operations and the broader oil and gas value chain.

All these, he said, were part of the company’s commitment to nurture the next generation of industry leaders.

“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,” he said.

Also, the firm’s HR general manager, Tope Daramola, noted the programme’s role in developing career readiness and building a sustainable talent pipeline.

Mr Daramola said the goal was to provide young Nigerians not just with work experience but also 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.

Mr Daramola said the programme was open to Nigerian graduates with a minimum of a Second-Class Upper (2:1) degree in disciplines such as engineering, geosciences, business and finance, or with a minimum of a Second-Class Upper or Second-Class Lower (with a master’s distinction or higher).

He said applicants must have completed the National Youth Service Corps within the last two years.

He stated that with this initiative, Energia reaffirms its vision to be Africa’s leading provider of reliable and sustainable energy driven by excellence, integrity, and a commitment to developing human capital.

Prospective applicants are advised to visit to get full details about the programme and submit their applications. The deadline for submission is December 12, 2025,” Mr Daramola said.
