ABSTRACT
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, effective talent management has emerged as a pivotal component for organizational success.

Utilizing a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed journals, industry reports, and organizational case studies, the methodology encompassed qualitative analysis. The main findings revealed that while recruitment strategies are increasingly leveraging technological advancements and localized content, retention efforts are centered around competitive remuneration, career progression, and fostering a conducive work environment. Furthermore, development initiatives prioritize continuous learning, leadership training, and skill enhancement. The implications of these findings underscore the necessity for organizations to adapt to the unique challenges of the Nigerian context, emphasizing the importance of aligning talent management strategies with broader business goals to ensure sustainability and growth in the sector.
