Bring OYP to Your
Institution

An OYP Branch (also called an OYP Club) is a student-led group within a university or polytechnic that connects undergraduates directly to the oil and gas industry through mentorship, training, networking and internship opportunities.

As a Branch Lead, you become the bridge between your institution and the almost 400 OGTAN member companies across Nigeria's energy sector — giving your fellow students access to opportunities they cannot get anywhere else.

Branches are open to registered Nigerian universities, polytechnics and higher institutions. The Lead Applicant must be at least a second-year student and must have the backing of at least 20 enrolled members from the institution before a branch can be formally activated.
