Dont mind the guy. Just stay calm and wait till the worldwide oil crises improve.

Postulates:


I will give you a hundred and eighty thousand naira monthly for one year, if this 2012 recruitment goes ahead. My word is my bond. Regarding oil crisis, I guess you are referring to the price. Provided Iran enters the market with its 1.5MMBD, the price will plummet, varying between circa $23/B -$30/B.

Provided USA continues stealing oil from Iraq, Syria and getting royalties (crude oil) from Kuwait, with current Iran sanctions lifted, 2016 will be a difficult year for the oil industry. The psuedo-belief that shale gas E&P activities is lucrative is rubbish as the above supplements from Iraq, Syria and Kuwait is offsetting their cost in shale gas adventure. Story for another day.

@postulates

You sound informed and you write well so I am guessing you have a good head on your shoulders plus you get your "gist" from people who work within the sector. Ofcourse, like everything on earth your assertions aren't error-proof but we appreciate them nonetheless.

I have a few reservations with your post and I will make them known in plain terms.

1. Your reason that the recruitment is cancelled because the GGMs/GMs etc. chairing such positions are retired is hollow on the basis that whether they were still in service or not, their influence hadn't been implemented as the recruitment had just proceeded the test writing stage. You'd have made more sense if we had done the interviews and expected feedback.

1b. Another thing that I find misplaced is the DAM and allegations of supplanting the list with her candidates. The question is, what list? There was no list because the only list that should have existed is the list of those who were scheduled to be interviewed. So was DAM supplanting prospective interviewees with hers? Makes no sense either.

1c. Really? Management of NNPC will resist her? Management of NNPC will stall recruitment because of DAMs impending mago-mago? Which Holier-than-thou Management is that one? Never has that been heard of in the history of NNPC and certainly not in the last "stealing is not corruption" govt. So again, I respectfully disagree with the allegations.

I will continue my rejoinder in a separate post so as to avoid making this one lengthy.

Hello folks, I mailed Philips Consultant Limited on 26th August and they replied me. See the details below:

Dear Sir,
I am one of the applicants that applied for this recruitment. Please, may I know in details the reason why this has been put on hold since February that we got texts that say

''Dear candidate, congratulations!You have been shortlisted for the next phase of the NNPC recruitment process. Interview details will reach your mail by 21/02/15

Dear candidate, as a follow up to our previous SMS, we are putting in place required logistics for the interviews. We'll update you in due course. Pls bear with us'' ?

The main reason why I am writing you is that, there are so many rumours in town and on 'nairaland website' that it might be cancelled. I wonder why it might be cancelled. Instead of me to believe that, I am sure it is better that I mail the consultant to know what is happening.

Many regards,

Atoki, Oluwaseun.

3. Kachikwu was intended to fill the NNPC position. Let us put a rest to the floating rumors of how Obama asked PMB to employ him and what not. On the eve of the announcement of Kachikwu's appointment, the general diagnosis about the ills of the Nigerian oil industry was that there was a thriving lack of synergy between the Petroleum Minister and the NNPC GMDs and seeing that the PM sat on the board of the NNPC each GMD was forced to do his or her bidding with the consequence being, getting fired if the GMD didn't yield. It is very similar to how a lack of working relationship between the NSA and the service chiefs cost the latter their jobs in the previous govt.
It is rumuored that Kachikwu initially resisted the post of NNPC GMD citing his fear that he could be at cross-purposes with the PM and in that case the PM could easily fire him. So PMB assured him that he will leave him incharge of both offices so as not to compromise the GMDs policy directions. Ofcourse it is an onerous task and I am sure Kachikwu may eventually appoint a trusted hand to relieve him of that position at NNPC but not soon as alot is to be done.
There is reason to believe my assertions as during Kachikwu's screening by the NA he said "this will be the first time that if something goes wrong in the Petroleum sector, it will not be the president's fault". To me, this alludes to the fact that the president has entrusted the petroleum sector into his charge.
Someone may choose to say how can 1 man have such power in the sector? Well, the PIB that would've been passed by successive National assemblies granted even powers greater than this to the minister. The issue with Nigeria has never really been about laws and Acts but about the personality handling such and the rightful implementation of such laws and Acts.
Going by PMBs antecedents it is clear when he trusts some people he tends to saddle them with a lot of responsibilities for e.g, Fashola as Minister for Works, Power and Housing.
NB: The prestige of being the NNPC GMD is unrivalled as you control more resources than all the state governors put together. I haven't even mentioned that you are the cash cow for the country and are responsible for laying the golden eggs. See how Kachikwu sat at the head of the OPEC meeting in Vienna as the President and everyone listened to him. He would never have had such access as a VP in Exxon. Never.

CaptShinz:




LOL, Eruditor my guy... U seem well informed and would like to know where you work... Kachikwu is a rich kid baba so the salary was never the issue... he wanted the job from day 1 because he likes being in a position of power which correlates to your story of him not wanting the future PM to interfere in his matters also he is my guy
