The Principal and Chief Executive of the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Engr. Dr. Samuel E. Onoji has urged the newly inaugurated Students Union Government (SUG) officials of the Institute to uphold accountability and dialogue as a vital tool of good leadership.

The PTI Chief Executive who was represented by the Director, Research and Development, Dr. (Mrs.) Tina Isichei at the swearing in ceremony of the 2024/2025 SUG and SRC executive at the Institute Council Chamber, charged them to enforce peace and serenity in the Institute 

In her words, "It is a privilege to be elected as the student’s representative, and you should make it count. Whatever issues you have with the management can be resolved through dialogue without insults or protest erupting.

“Accountability is part of leadership and every dime spent either for projects or any other course should be accounted for. If you cannot handle the little entrusted to you at this level of leadership, then you cannot make a good leader tomorrow”, she advised.

Speaking further, Dr. Isichei reminded the students leaders on the need to uphold all the polices guiding their stay in the Institute. “Also, the Institute works with a policy of zero tolerance to cultism, examination malpractice, prostitution, and all other social vices and in this light, I would want the SUG leaders to promote these principles among the student community thereby leading to continuity and a conducive learning environment.”

The Principal’s representative also appealed to the students leaders to break the jinx of always asking for postponement of examination by students, informing them that the constant postponement of examination have its effects on the final year students as they will be unable to graduate with their peers, go to service with their peers and also join the labour market with their peers.

These she said denies them of so many job opportunities as they will not able to meet up the deadline or job openings at their time of graduation.

According to her, “I urge this tenure to step up and ensure that classes begin when it should and also that examination postponement be stopped. Remember, the office does not give the SUG and SRC executives the right to bully or intimidate others. Leadership is all about service and the willingness to serve others diligently”.

Responding, the newly elected SUG President, Comrade Temisan Collins Oghenevwede assured the Institute Management that under his tenure, the Institute would be a peaceful and protest free environment.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
