He made the remarks while responding to a question from Abdallah Mtolea (Temeke–CUF) who wanted to know when DMI will start offering courses that would enable many Tanzanians secure employment in the gas sector.
Mr Ngonyani told the Parliament that Bandari College together with oil and gas stakeholders including DMI and Norway were putting the course together plus the necessary infrasturcture.
Equipment includes helicopters swimming pools and more.
“It is our belief that this course will increase employment opportunities among Tanzanians in the growing oil and gas sector,” he said.
