“These talented and brilliant engineering graduates will be less than thirty (30) years of age with either First Class or Second Class Upper Division (2:1)…”

The management of Dangote Refinery has announced plans to recruit young engineering graduates from Nigerian institutions, including polytechnics across the country.

Nonetheless, only graduates below the age of 30 who must have graduated with either First Class or Second Class Upper Division (2:1) will be qualified for jobs in the refinery.

“In line with the critical phase of the Refinery Project and the need to source for the best talents, our Management intends to recruit graduate engineers across the nation,” Dangote said in a letter seen by Peoples Gazette.

The letter was sent to the management of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University on December 10.

“These talented and brilliant engineering graduates will be less than thirty (30) years of age with either First Class or Second Class Upper Division (2:1) as part of our growing vision,” the management stated.

Specifically, the disciplines required include chemical, mechanical, electrical, and electrical/electronics engineering from “notable” higher institutions.

“We are seizing this opportunity to request you to send us a list of your fresh graduates from 2019, 2020, and 2021 sets in the listed specializations for testing and recruitment,” the firm added.

When contacted by The Gazette, Anthony Chiejina, the Dangote Group’s spokesperson, said the same letter had been sent across to 25 universities and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).



“It’s an ongoing process for the refinery. The graduates have to go through five stages of our aptitude tests, once they’re able to scale through, we’ll now send them abroad for training,” Mr Chiejina added.

Ok

That’s a welcome development.

Okay

It would be good if it's true but I know it must be one of the carry over lie....

I wish graduates applying, greater success..

Good, but why first class and second class upper only? Isn't that misplaced priority and discrimination?

Nice employment opportunity for our engineering graduates

Olodos would soon start complaining.

That is a nice and good gesture by Aliko Dangote to develop our serious youths in the field of engineering.

I pray the process isn’t highjacked by people of personal and tribal interests.

This is what Nigeria needs. Imagine Nigeria has 20 companies recruiting on this scale.

nice one from dangote group

Good ... There must always be a REWARD FOR EXCELLENCE in a society that wants to PROGRESS....
1st class and 2.1 no easy abeg.... Person wey carry 3rd class and person wey carry DRAW(2.2) come out have tried their best but it just wasn't enough.

School na SCAM, School na SCAM... One opportunity go BLOW person wey go SCHOOL....
Street no dey GIVE CERTIFICATE... Education could be FORMAL or INFORMAL...acquire it...

Ok

Thank you in advance

I heard about this. Not only Dangote but other big firms do this but... is it that they will wait for a year plus to engage them because NYSC deh too.

When NYSC is optional I'm sure it will help youths and companies plan and recruit directly from the schools after graduating. Those who no get option can proceed on the NYSC.

This is a good way forward.

Those who are saying school na scam! school na scam!! will cry later in their life if sure opportunity comes there way but they have nothing to show.

Will it be 95% over 5%?

Nice one. Hopefully, it is carried out with fairness nationwide.

Lol Nigerians self so people from 31 up are useless

OK

I kind of pity Agricultural graduates in this country....like nobody gives a shyt about them...I have never seen any government recruitment that listed them in thier requirements even THE MILITARY EOH

What I find it baffling, it's thier sub courses like soil science & Agricultural Economics are some of the most complicated out there... During my early days at uni, all these econometrics & statistics tutorial gurus are from Agric faculty

Thumbs up Dangote

U will see 17 years boy driving for dangote.... De one I saw at Zaria last year....
Omo.... I began watching him..........

Once you're not lazy with schoolwork, you'll never be below 2:1 no matter what.
