Dangote oil Refinery absorbs 3 consecutive set of ATBU Engineering Graduates

Dangote has directed the absorption of Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering Graduates from ATBU, Bauchi who graduated between 2019-2021.
Dangote who is the Chancellor of KUST Wudil, Kano has promised to do the same to the University since 2016 while Engineering Graduates from ABU and other universities have been benefitting from such recruitments. This is in line with his commitment to recruit Young Engineers across the the Nation into his multibillion dollar oil refinery.

Only a source of motivation for current students of same school studying engineering courses

Rugaria:


1) The federal government played a huge role in this project from the Jonathan era to this day. The CNB was ordered to funnel large amount of cash into this project as incentives since it was seen as a national asset that needs to be protected. To that extent, it's expected that a reasonable amount of national interest should be satisfied in such areas as job recruitment, product distribution and siting of secondary plants..

2) There is nothing like The South". What we have at independence was The West and The East. It's you and Tinubu that invented The South as a political terminology to hyjack all that should accrue to both the East and west just for South Western Nigeria.

3) The biggest oil deposits inland in the socalled South South comes from Igbo communities like Obigbo and co. Don't know whether you have been properly educated on this. So your "South South" outburst does not hold water here. It's the oil from the East. So it's only natural that the greater percentage of job opportunities should go to the owners of the resource. Otherwise, Dangote should use Lagos and Bauchi oil to run his "private" refinery.

There is nothing like OBIGBO in Rivers State, don't know why the Igbos are bent on changing the name of an LGA in Rivers State. It is called Oyigbo LGA.

Otedola do same to Unilag and Lasu graduates,your father was a former governor of this Lagos state.

Rugaria:
"Recruiting young engineers across the nation" you say? Is Bauchi and Kano " the nation" or is it "across the North"? You lay hundred of kilometers of pipes to load crude oil from the East to your CBN funded refinery in Lagos. You won't go to Bauchi to lay pipelines for crude, neither will you go to Kano... But when it comes to job opportunities in this sector, you first focus on those you consider as "your people"!

This is the kind of One Nigeria they desperately want. You have all the jobs at the Ministry of Petroleum. All the jobs at NNPC and PPMC. All the jobs in the Customs and Army and Police and all that.... Now this... What are Eastern youths from where this resources are being exploited supposed to do? Go to Malaysia and Cambodia to hussle. Abi? While you and your brothers from the desert inherit the earth?
It won't work like that na..

Dangote is not your president or governor. Easterners have businesses too, how many northerners have they recruited? Nansense!

Make una dey calm down abeg. Same letter came to my dept at FUTO. They selected some few engr depts and invited their best (second class upper and first class). My HOD dey so lazy to choose that he ask all of us to send application

But the ignoramuses saying things like "there's no oil in the South East" and "there are no Igbos in Rivers State", una mumu too much oooo. Make una try dey read abeg.

My LGA in IMO na Oil producing ooo. Some people got scholarship one year like that because of am (though I didn't get). Make una dey read abeg.

Obigbo and Egbema for Rivers na wetin? It's cool to call an Egbema man from Ohaji/Egbema LGA in IMO an " Igbo" man and wrong to call an Egbema man from Ogba/Ndoni/Egbema LGA (ONELGA) in Rivers State a "South South/Niger Delta" man. The Egbema people have always been one with the same traditional stool - The Nzeobi stool.

Na Wike and his Ikwerre lots cause this thing. Most of you think all Igbo sounding people in Rivers State are Ikwerre. Funny thing is people wey never even near Rivers State dey put mouth for wetin them nor know.

Make una try dey travel oooo and read.

Lastly, neither ATBU nor any other school in the North produces more qualified engineers as FUTO. Argue with your ancestors. FUTO na your mate?

Alaigbopress:
Just imagine
A refinery that is domiciled in the South will have Engineers from North working on it. No Catchment Quota for even host community. This is the type of Nigeria some people are ready to die for.

Just wait for the numerous accidents to happen.

It's coming...

Either that or the people in the most senior/sensitive positions will be sourced from outside of those institutions.

Quick to jump the gun, who says this letter hasn't been sent to other universities. But besides that, You have plenty billionaires in the east, you guys will figure it out. How many Igbo businesses have recruited abokis to work sef.
ThankGod it's a private business, he can do his qouta system at his discretion.

Oga say what you know and keep off what you don't.

This is like saying "There's no place like Eko in Nigeria, what we have is Lagos because the Portuguese made it so".

The indigents still call themselves Obigbo till tomorrow. Please travel and find out.

JustforMen:


You may be a Yoruba man which is highly doubtful but that does mean everything you say about the Yoruba is always true.
One can actually know your tribe better than you do especially if you close your mind.
You are an Igbo man, sir.

Oga shut up abeg. I don't like that flokii but what he said is the absolute truth...and he's a pure afonja like you...your own is even worse. One thing common with you gbegiris is that, anybody that tells you the truth,you quickly tag him/her Igbo. Only shallow minds so that.
Have you ever bothered to find out who heads the federal government petroleum agencies like NNPC DPR PPMC PPPRA and ptdf? Even the maritime federal government agencies like NPA and NIMASA,have you found out who heads them?

Without the south,will these agencies exist?
The south have been crying for resources control and the north backed federal government has been opposing for decades but here's dangote soon to be refining southern crude oil!!!! I know you will open your mouth and say he's paying for it and I'm not gonna bother myself replying you.
The Hausa Fulani federal government closed all borders not too long ago but only opened same borders for same Hausa Fulani dangote and his brother,Bua!!!! And these are private business men!!!!
Keep on riding on your myopicism.

JustforMen:


Were you dead when Dangote recruited the first set of engineers he sent abroad for training?
What is about FUTA and FUTO, because they are in Igbo land, abi?

Be guided Sir. FUTA is in South West, Nigeria.

FUTO - Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria.

FUTA - Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria.

Though the latter nor be the former mate

You are talking of quota system for somebody's business!
Oya build your own refinery

DaveDGreat:


Be guided Sir. FUTA is in South West, Nigeria.

FUTO - Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria.

The point is do these school produce better Engineers because of the tribes found there?

Can you know more than an aborigine?

DubaiLandLord:
I'm sure he will employ students from the South too as time goes.

But do not forget dangote refinery is a private owned company. And the oil is from the South South Geopolitical Region.

GEJ should have done something about how more Northerners were getting employed into the NNPC, but the weakening did nothing about it.

He was busy looting.

so all the northerners got into NNPC only during GEJ time.... If we keep praising nepotism I wonder when we'll get it right....

Any the refinery is privately owned so I don't know if he broke any law....

There is crude in all the eastern states except ebonyi

AnanseK:


There is no oil in the East my friend. The Nigerian oil is in the South South. The oil in the East is Palm Oil and it’s total is not upto one of hundreds of palm kernel farms in Malaysia.

GodIsBiafran:


You again. Your poor education is failing you publicly. Most of Rivers state is Igbo. I am talking of indigenously Igbo/Igboid. STOP spreading lies on social media. You look foolish.

Your father look foolish you pig

Only the north plays the ethnic game effortlessly without sweat.

Nonsense and idiotic beer palour argument.
Where is the sense in the trash you typed?
Which borders were opened for Dangote?
Can you provide some proof apart from the usual radio Biafra?
You don't understand what you are talking about but it is the Igbo talking point so you bandy it around.
Igbos stand out for their tribalism and superiority complex. So it is not hard to identify a disguising one.
The so called southern crude is currently being refined in the UK and other places around the globe. Are they also Fulani owned?
Is Dangote getting the so called southern crude free of charge?
Is the refinery going to refine only Nigerian crude?
For your information, he is either buying the crude from government or providing refining services... It is like any other service company.
But you have to see tribe in everything but hypocritically turn a blind eye when it seems to favor the Igbo.
Is innoson not enjoying import and tax incentives?
Are other manufacturers, mostly being Igbo, not enjoying the incentives of the government?
But you have been programmed to see things from your distorted lense of tribalism and ethnic superiority.

No Sir. Mostly, the school and the environment of study shapes them

That's why FUTO is regarded as one of the best Engineering Schools in Nigeria by far.

It is funny how people like you who do not know or live in Rivers try to tell people who live in rivers what they are called!

How about Enugu state?

Any proof of FUTO being the best engineering schools by far?
Can you provide some proof?

ExudeLoveToAll:

And who is the aborigine? Gov. Wike?

See why I say you people should travel and/or read before making statements?

Wike is ikwerre. Obigbo is not Ikwerre. So if you take Wike's (an Ikwerre man) position on Obigbo, you will be misled.

Please visit Rivers State and ask the true indigenes how they got to be in Rivers State. Or better still, read about the "Justice Mamman Nasir Boundary Adjustment Commission".

Lol... it's pointless arguing with you, keep believing pigs fly and birds creep.

A simple Google search should enlightened you.

You cannot advise or enlighten these people.
They are self deluded.

Always want everything to be about them.

A rhetorical question which I don't expect you to answer. I don't visit Visit Rivers State, Rivers State is in me. Now you know.

DaveDGreat:

Again the implied unfounded, superiority complex... Just feeling that everything Igbo is better by virtue of just being Igbo.
FUTO is not better than any other university of technology in Nigeria.

What about OAU, UNILAG, UI

I said all eastern states except ebonyi

Honestly, seems you have an obsession with Igbo or Igbo.

I said FUTO is one of the best engineering schools in Nigeria which is/has never been/and will never be in dispute but you were quick to show your endemic disdain for anything Igbo.

Bro, being one of the best isn't the same as being the best. And Yea, FUTO is better than most Universities of Technology. Go figure.

Please you need to let go of this ethnic disdain for the Igbo tribe. Don't allow Nairaland mess with your psyche.

There has to be a better proof apart from the name Owerri!
