FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES

The Federal University of Petroleum Resources will organize its academic activities along college lines. Under the arrangement, related Departments will be grouped to form a College without an intervening tier of faculties.

FUPRE is a specialized university, located in Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria. As a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative established to produce human capital required by Nigeria’s energy industry it has embarked on this recruitment exercise to meet its manpower and expertise requirements.


Though Nigeria’ is one of the world’s top producers of oil, the human capital gap in oil and gas means Nigeria has been unable to fully benefit from the strategic position it occupies. Unless the local expertise is grown the weird oil dependency syndrome experienced by a major oil producer will continue. Empowering people in the oil and gas sector is therefore a priority.

It is intended to encompass the local provision of research, educational and related services for Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. To fulfill its mission, FUPRE university therefore needs to enhance its manpower in key areas.
