The email address is uptresmnigeriatraining@exxonmobil.com and not upstreamtrainingnigeria@exxonmobil.com.
Take careful note of the order of the conjunction of uptream and nigeria in the email address, please landers.
Godspeed!

GOODDAY EVERYONE,

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOME CLARIFICATIONS BASED ON ENQUIRIES MADE:

1. ON THE ISSUE OF NOT HAVING ADMISSION

*MY EXPERIENCE FROM LAST YEAR SHOWS THAT YOU WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PRESENT YOUR LETTER OF OFFER OF ADMISSION BEFORE YOU WOULD BE ADMITTED INTO THE TEST VENUE. THEREFORE IF YOU DO NOT PRESENT YOUR LETTER YOU WONT WRITE THE TEST, ALSO IMPLYING A WASTE OF RESOURCES ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE COMING FROM OUTSIDE LAGOS.

2. ON THE ISSUE OF NOT MISSING THIS OPPORTUNITY

*EXPERIENCE ALSO SHOWS THAT THIS IS A YEARLY PROGRAM. THEREFORE IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE ADMISSION YET, TO USE THIS TIME TO PREPARE FOR NEXT YEARS AWARD BY APPLYING AND SECURING ADMISSION IN ANY OF THE UNIVERSITIES IN THE U.K, US OR CANADA.

NOTE THAT APPLYING NOW FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP WITHOUT SECURING ADMISSION WOULD JEOPARDIZE YOUR CHANCES WHEN YOU EVENTUALLY WANT TO APPLY NEXT TIME.

FOR FURTHER ENQUIRIES CALL ME ON 08030884750 (UCHE)

Hi guys, this is really a big nut to crack. Could someone tell me how the NYSC discharge certificate number differs from the call-up number? I would round off September, 2007. What do I fill in as my , number?

Hello Everyone,

It's a good forum. I'm quite new here. But then R4J can u tell me what else is required for the esso scholarship? Do I need to attach my credentials apart frm the excel cv u attached. Haven't seen the paper yet.

Cheers

Nothing more than the details necessary for the Excel sheet are necessary. The rest is up to them and God. Wish you all the best.

P.S.
So sorry for the mistake in the email. I was in a rush. REMIS thanks for correcting my errors.

RJ4,

You've done a pretty good work posting this information for everyone. Do you have the slightest idea about what a guy who's going to complete his NYSC programme by Aug/Sept, 2007 could fill in the space alloted for discharge certificate number?
