Which Way Nlng?

In helping to put out gas flares in Nigeria, NLNG through its community relations management, is also serving the interest of the communities in which it operates. Community development emphasis is geared towards self-reliance and sustainability.

Nigeria LNG has so far executed no fewer than 50 community projects on Bonny Island and about 200 self-help projects on its pipeline communities. These projects cover the provision of health, roads, electricity, water and other social amenities.

In pursuing its community development policies, the company provides support to local communities in two broad areas: business and human development and the provision of infrastructure. While business and human development support programmes are aimed at enabling the community develop the appropriate mindset for self reliance and development independent of outsiders, infrastructure projects are engineering projects related to development or refurbishment of existing physical infrastructure.
On these projects, NLNG expends more than seven million dollars annually.

Encouragement of indigenous contractors

In this way, NLNG pays compensation to communities across its pipeline routes for (Right of Way and economic trees) far in excess of approved industry rates. Quantified according to size of land holding, holders of the GTS Row Contracts, employ family members to maintain the Right of Way. Such holders receive payments from NLNG on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Just wanted to acknowledge your effort and bring this post out from the 3rd page, haba!

take care, and peace out!

@aniffy4eva, thanx for fighting our relegation to 3rd page, i wanted to spank kuwena for not blabbing for a while but you just saved him,  anyway kuwena, you have been doing a great job keeping this thread alive with so much enthusiasm and great expectations. i was reliably in4med that letters will be sent within this week and assessment will start from 25th of this month. just tot i should share it with you guys because i know it will save some hearts from beating too fast for too long considering the way NLNG is going about the whole process, 

@kuwena please keep this thread alive even if you have to describe Bonny Island and their young and amiable monarch, just keep this thread on the 1st page and you will be richly rewarded by HIM whom you believe in,  :ocheers all

@ kuwena

howdy, 

I thank you, @jenks, @aniffy4eva, and pisky, for all your support. Pisky, when you say you were reliably informed that the letters will be issued this week, do you mean that we would begin to receive them sometime next week, considering that the posting may take about four days, no? And when you say the Assessment Centres will begin by the 25th of the month, do you mean that they will last for more than just that day? Apart from the fact that we are all eager to get on with this thing, we want to know if we should begin preparing in earnest. Recall that it has been said by at least one wise man, 'He that fails to prepare, prepares to fail.' Please, fill me in; please, o please tell me more. And by the way - who told you what you know about the next stage?

Longing to hear from you.

I love you all with all my heart and soul and mind.

God bless @aniffy4eva, @jenks and @pisky.

hi y'all

nice thread. been following it from the very beginning though this is the first im posting myself.

nice that all peeps are keeping hope alive as concerns an NLNG job.

from all the gist i've heard so far it seems to be a dream job -well if the job no be dream the pay is sure a dream pay.

i beleive that our hopes would not be dashed that God would make all beautiful in the time he has set for it.

so lets all keep our heads up, our hopes high, our fingers crossed and our eyes fixed on the mark.

its going to be good.

already looking forward to a nairaland reunion when we get to NLNG. something to look forward to huh!!


see you all at the top.
one love and much love

@mhm, did you say last for a month?! Is that how Assessment Centres are? Na wa-o! House, educate me, is that how Assessment Centres are?!

what mhm said is right. information reaching me is that it will actually take six weeks for the assessment center to conclude and that it wil start on the 25th. so lets all wish for the best. but i wonder, if its going to take the whole day, what could they possibly be asking/interviewing? will u do it stage by stage? will u present; take 30mins break, den come 4 another session n stuff like that? i wuld love to know!

Well, @jbyno, I wonder as you do-o! I cannot imagine what these people will be asking for a whole day-o! It really beats me; and this issue of six weeks also beats me. Na wa-o! What are we going to be doing for the whole of six solid weeks - waiting again, I suppose. Na wa-o! Na wa-o! Na wa-o! Na wa! Na wa! Na wa!

There's going to be an aptitude test, a group/team ability evaluation, oral interview, strenght and weaknesses, ability to manage and interprete information, Computer ability, slide presentation etc and You are just adviced to be yourself.

Got mine like thursday last week.

What r You doubting? I said I have mine on the 25th.

I'm scared.
I got mine on friday (15th) and I'm scheduled fro 26th June; that means I've got barely a week to prepare.
Anyone in the house with info on what exactly to expect? Please let brotherly love continue.
