In April 2018, representatives of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) visited BOG facility in Port Harcourt. The aim of the visit was to inspect the level of investment and milestone achievement since the last Nigerian Content Equipment Certificate (NCEC) was issued to BOG, with a view to re-categorising and renewing all expired certificates.
