10nx for sharing.. I dunno knw how to follow this narrative cos I was Invited.
If i shld attend i ll b travelling from PH to Abj with almost half my monthly stipends

I was also invited for the aptitude test....please who has an idea about the things to expect at the cbt aptitude test.
Moreso i am still contemplating on honouring the invitation as the distance is quite far from my current location in lagos.
Coupled with the fact that i will still have to stay off work at the expense of my monthly remuneration.
It's dicey

scarplanet:

3 persons per state for MSc. 1 person per state for PhD.

then no doubt, its local n not foreign.
I doubt if I will honour d invite cos distance from lag to abj no be here.
