The JVA option was considered the best alternative strategy for optimizing Nigeria\'s oil returns and indigenous capacity building, since April 1971. questionnaire was designed and administered on a stratified random sample of 240 indigent senior officials of frontline oil sector organizations (with area/zonal offices) in Port Harcourt. Data analysis mainly involved in the application of chi-square (x2) statistical technique, which indicated that the JVA has made marginal contributions towards indigent executive/operative capacity building. It is therefore imperative for the parties to comprehensively make up for the functional lapses and partner effectively to promote entrepreneurial employment alternatives
