The 14 Mozambican students who graduated in Malaysia in the field of gas and oil technology want to work on the large hydrocarbon projects in the Rovuma Basin, in Cabo Delgado.
As Mozambique prepares to enter the exclusive group of the world’s largest hydrocarbon producers – with the Rovuma Basin in Cabo Delgado the epicentre of operations – staff training has become a major priority.
On Saturday morning, the 14 Mozambican students who received training at the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS in Malaysia, including Karein Tembe and Milton Macuácua, disembarked at Maputo International Airport.
Scholarships for students sent to Malaysia cost the Mozambican state US$9,000 a year, including tuition and accommodation. Since 2010, a total of US$846,000 has been spent.
Over the next five years, the government plans to send 81 students abroad – 25 to Malaysia, 10 to Germany and 15 to Angola.
