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.
