According to him, the recruitment started in 2012 but was Cancelled in 2014....

But he was correct now. First of all, were you even part of that process to discredit what he said? Or you just discredit what you have no idea about. I was part of that process. It was recruitment that started in December 2012. The portal was closed and the recruitment was suspended. In November 2013, i was notified to upload some documents. An aptitude test was conducted in 2014 and we were notified via SMS of our success in the test. Another SMS was sent to us on the delay to the next stage which was the interview stage i believe, in 2015. GEJ lost the election and the whole process was cancelled without any form of communication until a fresh recruitment commenced in 2019.

Piece of advice, always be sure of what you type before you discredit someone's claim; else people may think otherwise of you.

Cheers.

Well at least it has dawned on a lot of people who had no idea of how Nigeria Federal recruitment works. My 2 cents, move on with your life. The longer this recruitment persists, the higher the tendency of a biased list. Those who have already built house and bought cars for a job that is not even certain, better have a rethink. At this point, everyone should have a plan B,C, D and so on. the APL should be seen as an icing on the cake rather than a last resort. Funny enough, by the time the APL is distributed, some of us may even be in a better place than what is being offered. That is life. Opportunities unveils in the midst of uncertainties. To those of us currently employed, i believe we all know how it works, we continue to plan with current income until a higher income is earned.

Peace.

Well, I believe the timing for inviting the mod was quite unfortunate. We are this close (so close) to seeing the end of this journey, which we began some months back.

The fact that this thread has come a long way, was largely due to the unrestricted flow of information of different kinds (banters, fake sources, insults, etc.). We (who have been following this thread since inception) learnt to sieve through the thread, searching for information that interests us, without necessarily calling anyone to caution (we knew for the thread to thrive, we needed all kinds of personalities). You see something that doesn't interest you, why not let it slide? We all know talking to adults is quite complex, cause, most adults don't like been told they are wrong. This is where empathy comes into play. Before giving that advice, imagine you were the receiver. Will you be happy if someone addressed you in that manner?

Recent unfoldings on this thread wouldn't have occurred if some of us had only chosen to ignore.

Its a pity we took this path. I hope it was worth it.

I love this trend and it will continue! i for one will continue reporting irrelevant comments on this thread. If the GTs(especially) here are not matured enough to be orderly on a simple faceless forum how will it transcend to their respective professional careers. Have you visited other Job career threads in the past? NLNG, DPR, even the current shell thread maintains more decorum than this.

They had better be guided or their comments will be deleted and/or their monikers banned!

ChasteGhuy:
Before you start blabbing about purpose of the thread, times without numbers, most of you have at one point or the other derailed this thread bringing in irrelevant issues that has nothing to do with the purpose of this thread.

Keep reporting and also msg the mods to get my account blocked

Don't forget to collect your APL from the mods

Dear ChasteGhuy,

If you had noticed in the past, despite several mentions by you, i had never ennobled you with a response. But let me gratify you this once. I would start by saying, i wonder what your daily rituals are like, i can see you are quite effervescent about this thread. Your comments are rife and you always seem to quote anyone(Literally) with a response, as i expect you would this comment. Perhaps your daily ritual is spending all day on this platform, this thread maybe, posting and responding to every comment. That's fine, so long as it sticks within the confines of the thread. But then again, unlike others, who may also have a lot of free time as you do, they do apply moderation and those who don't, as was ubiquitous in the past couple of days are smart enough not to unveil their identity. I can't say the same for you, the Isoko brother who awaits APL. Not so very smart a move, i must add. That being said, i'd just summarize this with some rhetorical questions, ask yourself; Do i need to reply everyone's comment? Do i feel less of a man if i don't post? Would my Data be a waste if i don't post? of my over 1500 comments on this thread, have i been of assistance for posterity sake? Do i need to show everyone i am jobless or less engaged? Do i need to reply this comment? You may find what you need when you genuinely answer these questions.

One more thing, in a bid to expeditiously respond to comments, a perusal of your postulates for the second and maybe third time may not hurt, so that at least people would think you are smart. You may want to refer to the bold phrase on the aforementioned quote.

P:S - I rarely reply to a comment more than once, so subsequent mention on this would not get a reply.

Cheers.

bobowaja:
So, they invited a mod and mod deleted their comments

They think everyone is m*d as dem

And 'they' will continue to be ignored and their comments blocked and pretty soon their accounts blocked. This is a job thread, not everyone has the luxury of time to skim through multiple pages of baseless and puerile comments when rummaging for information. We all claim to be graduates, then we should be learned enough to understand the purpose of the thread. That is why there are rules on the platform, that is why there are sections; if you crave salutations and want to meet up, there is a thread for that, if you want to share jokes and troll all day long, there is a section for that! As long as we stick to the purpose of this thread, irrelevant comments WILL continue to be reported.

Ladyjane5657:
As a matter of fact niqqur is going to the towers anytime this week ( that's if Apl doesn't come out before then)
So chill till weekend...
This wan no be Theory o.. Hehehehe ah no be Sniper sister


No! It wasn't! That sauce was a sauce from a sauce... That sauce was obviously a burnt sauce..

PS: Gbyms stop quoting my past quotes baa... We are in the present... Or are u not in the present with us?

Your jokes are bland and you are becoming a nuisance on this thread. You may want to apply restraint and stop populating this thread with gibberish. If not that the letter 'f' is juxtaposed by your moniker, i'd have averred that you are an alternate moniker to someone on this thread with a similar characteristic.

Firstgentleman1:
While we await the next lecture, may I have your attention? The image projected on the screen is the comment of a staff of NNPC on the NNPC thread of 2012 on naijahotjobs. He made that comment to correct impressions of heavy external influence in NNPC recruitment..

Also quoting the words of the NNPC staff in the amphitheatre the day I had my interview: "Several years ago I was sitting here just like you. I came in my suit with my long neck. I knew nobody. Then one fateful evening, I was strolling with my heavily pregnant wife when the call came in. And since then.. I hope I am speaking to someone here? I know you have heard a lot of things outside about this recruitment, but trust me, have Faith and you will be my colleague soon"... That quote isn't verbatim, but his words went like that...

Happy APL eve everyone even when Easymonesniper, the inspiration behind this event is nowhere to be found.

What exactly do you expect an internal staff to say? That the process is not transparent and won't be based on merit? lol. I do not dispute that people would get in on merit but bruv, this is a government parastatal and some things haven't changed, not yet at least. When the APL is released, you will probably understand better. If you look closely at the last recruitment and use that platform as a sample size, you can tell how many people actually testified out of say over 400 people recruited? You can do the count. Well, all the best to everyone as we await the end of this recruitment.

Jarus:
I was surprised this piece of news was not thoroughly analysed here yesterday despite someone dropping it here.

Reason is because we have some set of buffoons who call themselves graduates infiltrating this thread with a plethora of asinine comments and hence making pertinent information as regards this recruitment look inconsequential.

Slammmmmmmm:
Well, in as much as I'm indifferent to any of the postulated theories but there are two things I conceived in my head.

1: There's a strong relationship correlation between Transport Fare allowance and the APL

2: Everyone will be paid but not at the same time.


I might be wrong with on first one but I'm absolutely sure about the 2nd one.

Your second point need not be conceived in your head because it is a fact. People have actually been paid at different dates! As for the first, you are entitled to your belief.

Cheers.

Sempumping:
Where did you hear this
Whose throat would they shove the candidate?that principled GGM,HR or the new GMD that doesn't even smile ? I ll continue to say ,this process has been by merit and if perhaps anything changes (at the least )90% to 95% would be employed by merit .
Some of you dont believe( the merit )but at thesame time you are expectant ,if you are sure it's by connection ,it is pointless to keep hoping.
NNPC isn't NIMC o,they even go ahead to request for your academic transcripts (those guys are serious )after you have been employed .Process that is undergoing audit at every phase .
Let me just pim here

Btw, if you have no sure info and statistics to take me up on the 95% merit ,dont bother quoting me
My post isn't for the OP alone ,so dont take it to heart

I am quoting you for the second time. You have been giving contradictory information on this thread. Well, it's fine seeing that that has been pervading this whole thread. Anyways, the only thing i share a different opinion is as to your relative estimation on merit fro this recruitment which has sounded so authoritative thus far. As though you are part of the Board or Top management. However, if your postulate on merit is based on the demeanor or integrity of the GMD/GGM, HR...or even the president, then you may be wrong. Let me address that shortly. You see, NNPC has been sort of the 'holy grail' for politicians, always has, always will. Lobbying has always been part of the recruitment and is part of this current one, whether you believe it or not. Even though i can lay credence on this via a source, i will rather discuss this logically. The delay in this process is evident now at the climax of this recruitment, yes? There could be 2 possibilities for this, 3 actually but the third will fizzle out once i explain it to you:

1. The recruitment conducted thus far prior to the change of GMD had been flawed, hence the new GMD has reservations about the whole process and is currently reviewing the list and evening toeing the line of cancellation. However, according to you this claim cannot be supported as the recruitment so far has been based on merit, But then again you believe the rectitudinous nature of the new GMD, so this completely rules out this possibility.

2.The recruitment conducted thus far has been based on merit and the new GMD is trying to tweak things to favor his interests. This could also be true but according to you once again the uprightness of the new GMD negates this claim.

3.The third possibility would be that the list has been available but there has been extreme pressures from so may influential persons that has stalled the process. This is completely ruled out on the basis that, according to you, both the minister of petroleum and new GMD are of high moral standards and seeing that the minister of petroleum is the commander in chief, no other requested favors supersedes that of the president so this list would have long been released.

Having debunked possibilities that could arise based on you assertion of a 95% merit, let me now tell you what i think s going on, at least from posterity. I have heard some things though, but i say this based on speculation. The reason i think this delay prevails is that things are not the way it seems. The recruitment itself has defied all timelines in comparison with the past that it is almost as though something sinister has been outlined from the outset. i believe the current list does not favor the new set of management(GMD) hence the reason for tweaking the list or in a worst case scenario, outright cancellation. Cancellation is very much a possibility in a bureaucratic setting like NNPC, make no mistake about that. Nepotism is very rife in Federal Parastatals and Government ministries/agencies and NNPC is no different this is what i believe is the reason for the delay

In summary madam/sir, stop making assertions on a certain percentage of merit when you cannot even explain in lucid terms the reason for the current delay.

nnssnnss:
Sorry to say this, you have poor sense of judgement. How can someone that doesn't respond to PMs scam people?

The boy is actually an idiot. Some of all these half-baked graduates cum keyboard warriors that cannot type less and read more. Just because they have access to data and a device. His assertion is so lopsided that a secondary school graduate can actually do better.

bobowaja:
The anonymous can be c12112 as well

I think c12112 kept mute when he served a burnt dodo and local men & women ministry banned him from bringing any more information that has barring last minute change at the tail end of such burnt sauce.

Just take a good look at yourself! Making jest of someone that has been actually contributing something related to the recruitment process. I bet if they review the history of all the comments you have made on this thread, it has had little or no value. Your moniker even sounds like a joke. Better keep mute if you have nothing reasonable to contribute and allow people with some information to contribute. It is people like you and your useless comments that restrict people from actually sharing the information they have.

Sempumping:
Peace my people .Nothing about APL is happening this week

Uncle ,just delays but process is still strictly merit based as against all that connection theories (still sticking to my 95% merit )

Sempumping:
Read my previous post na .I have always supported the no relationship theory ,I was paid on Thursday and I know there is no list yet ,that's why that mosgoon's findings is a waste of time and would lead to so many irrelevant discussions here.
So many people with their sources have stated that here too.He used to believe there is no relationship but it seems he has jumped ship because he feels he is 1 of the "last men standing"

We have passed that

No list yet and you are sticking to 95% merit.....Well done Ma.

Chibusoil:
Also, any unsuccessful mail received

Chibusoil:
Anyone from Zeekay school ikorodu or Lagos as a whole gotten

Chibusoil:
I just got a success mail from nnpc. Pls d new person has no influence oo. Chck ur mail. Who else received. U can chck d portal too its changed.

Chibusoil:
For those who did not get TF alert, be prepared to receive ur APL. For those that got, u will not b able to gain access to ur portal anymore as from 4pm tomao.

This NL page is coming to an end soon.



Happy Sunday my people. Be encouraged

I hope people choose to ignore this clown. This guy raised false alarm of receiving invite on the 20th of June which was unfounded by the way. When the invites started rolling in by 26th June he was making inquiries as to whether unsuccessful mails were sent. Apparently he didn't even scale through the CBT stage. While it is not out of place that unsuccessful candidates can have valid information about the recruitment process, i guess this guy's reputation precedes him.

Best be guided young man!

Swargu:
I want to say something.. Yea today is Saturday I have little time to spare.

This recruitment is more of merit,NNPC has spent millions in this and it cannot be for nothing. If left alone it will be purely on merit, but based on political powers that be there will be few people who will enter based on pure connection and trust me they won't exceed 100 to 150 persons in this dispensation.

If you have anyone that paid 1m for this recruitment you can as well tell the person to kiss that money goodbye, if connection wan sup na for relative and nothing more, i repeat very few will get in on connection..I am saying this cos alot of top men in NNPC cannot even influence outcome, they can only give you hope. Connection in this will be most likely political, people who has influence on the presidency not just anyhow politician.

That aside, I wish to tell everyone that as long as NNPC may seem like breakthrough for all it is not all there is to life, trust me i need this like kilode but if I do not get it what then happens?.... Life goes on mehn, in years to come most of us will find ourselves in places more than NNPC, more than we ever expected in life. So long you are steadfast and consistent, baba God go pick your call one day and it will surprise you.

Let us pray that the will of God be done and let us be favored beyond measures.

P. S it took me 31 hours deciding to post this cos I do not need any local man to argue with me.... Posting stuff here gets harder, might just get attacked.

P. P. S I have a feeling NNPC will recruit more than the postulated 1300,there are things I cannot say here. Peace y'all.

You do realize that there was a recruitment in 2014 that was truncated after there was a change in the seat of power right? What would you say happened to the budgeted funds released for that recruitment. Baba, as long as you do not know the criteria used in selection and distributing APL you cannot assert that it is based on Merit. I want you to know that. If you want to know what a transparent process is, CBT scores would have been sent to you, cut off would be known. The list that is ready would be visible. In that way, when names are swapped people will know. But all these are unknown. If they swapped like 700 names from the list you wouldn't know sh!t. Even people that have connect will be telling you to pray. What does that tell you? That a lot is going on beyond what they can see and/or control.

At the end, like i always believe, whoever's destiny is designed to work at NNPC would.

GeniusOla:
I agree with you adeakin but isnt 1mili rather ridiculous

From a financial perspective, it is. Given that your ROI would progressively be high. However, it is not impossible. You would agree with me that very few persons know how successful candidates were selected after CBT and probably after the interview. Collation are done by human beings albeit staff but you cannot tell at what level. The secretary taking notes, the guys that ushered us into the ampitheatre, i may be wrong but they all look like junior staff. Someone may be looking to make fast cash. In this kind of organisations, APLs are not entirely dependent on just your performance; grace, luck and connections are involved. Privileged staff at any stage of the recruitment, if they are involved in the process can swap names due to nepotism, financial gains et al.

Do you think some persons asking for panel information are just asking for the fun of it? In summary, whoever is destined to get the APL will get and that is pretty much it.

GeniusOla:
Sometimes i just laugh at the sudden influx and mood, the news of people using long leg creates on this page(i see several (maybe strange) monikers springing up quoting and supporting each other almost immediately) knowing that you can be deprived of what's by merit yours as a result of someone having stronger connections, my question is "is it supposed to be news? Isnt it a settled fact that such is inevitable but what i don't agree with is when such is beign painted to look like a dearth (70% connections, 30%merit) causing unnecessary panic. sometimes i take some of these claims as an insult (things like a slot is beign sold for 1million naira), na hungry people dey influential positions(strong enough to runs appointment) for NNPC? Its shows how such individuals has demeangly placed our IQ's to sell us such cheap stories expecting us to believe. What bothers me is when some people begin to reason with their line of thought and show signs of panic. Some People got the job during the last recruitment without knowing anybody.las las everybody go dey alrigth, there's no need for unnecessary panic. If you are so quick to believe something a friends friend told you, kindly give it a careful thought before posting it here, las las everybody go dey alrigth #P.S no offence intended. Thanks.

There is one thing i need you to be aware of in FG parastatals. Long before the time FCT was moved to Abuja, Slots have always been sold. This is not a presumption, it is a FACT! You can do your research about it. Cheers.

nevergiveup1:
Some information on NNPC cadre.

NNPC has 4 cadres as follows:

Junior staff JS 4 -1
Officer cadre SS6 -SS4
Supervisor Cadre: SS3 - SS1
Management Cadre: M6 - M1

Superintendent used to be a title for staff on SS1, and Supervisor for one on SS2 & SS3. However, Supervisor is now being used for staff on grade level SS3 - SS1. So it is not yet clear if the recent advertisement for Superintendent positions would mean SS1 for people hired.
Feel free to add any additional info you may have for any of the cadres.

From my review of the the EH positions:
SS4- 6 years Experience
SS3- 9 years Experience
SS2-12 years Experience and
SS1 -15 years Experience.

I believe the EH positions advertised were 6 years, 9 years and Managerial positions(18 years and above experience). I should expect that people with 12 years but less than 18 years experience will be placed between SS 2 and SS1 or perhaps those position will be negotiated when the offer letters are presented. If that is not what will be applied then i guess regardless of the number of years of experience, provided it is below 18 years, such persons would be placed on the SS3 as a supervisory role.

Iraborist:
In other words.. Move on with your life.

Pretty much. Or you can try again next year, if eligible. Not entirely sure, but i think the recruitment is conducted annually.

Shell's recruitment has always stalled. If your application is review in progress, you best forget about this recruitment and think of your other options. I was in similar situation in 2013 and it took those guys a year and 3 months before my application status changed from 'pending' to 'declined/rejected'(Can't remember the exact phrase). I even had a friend who completed the whole process and was successful with the SRD. He was told that he would be contacted on the availability of the position he applied for. That position was never available from what he told me. He left Nigeria for his masters after a year and doing very well abroad. As fresh graduates, i implore you to work earnestly towards other ventures, if you are called(which is unlikely for many) just take it as plus amidst other ventures you are chasing/ have achieved.

Peace

Swargu:
In the coming days, ABT will die a natural death, everybody will now be on one side, new theories will spring up. With this rush like NNPC want to get this over with in no time and focus on other things.

The TF reimbursement would probably continue even after APLs are released. This was experienced during the last recruitment albeit theirs came in at a longer period after their interviews.
This is own presumption as to how the TFs are distributed. This is a FG parastatal that is laden with bureaucracy, so it is expected that the trend will continue. This payment pattern was no different from the one in the last recruitment so it is safe to aver that it is probably the same set of TF processors that supervised the last recruitment that are currently on this. The pattern of payment in my opinion is inconsequential as they could be sorting by dates/disciplines/banks. Why it comes in piecemeal however, i presume it may be more sinister than it is evident. The disbursement could probably be to circumvent approval at a higher level so as not to arouse suspicion. The names/descriptions are basic banking transfer descriptions that are inputted by Funds Transfer Staff. King, Lazarus and Faruk are all staff through which the instructions of reimbursement came from. The payments without names is probably because the FT staff of the bank failed to input the names under the description module while making the transfers. Sadly, this piecemeal payments may be done so that when funds for some interviewees(peculiar issues like wrong account details/no account details/wrong bank name et al) are released, they could be diverted without suspicion. I may be wrong but this is my presumption.

N:B- There is nigh probability that some of us on this thread would be employed. However, a lot does happen in this type of organizations. A lot of bureaucracy and shenanigans abound. Guys that would be in Administrative/finance roles like Accounts, Audit, Procurement, Tax and Budget. You will probably see a lot of things that would go through you or pass over your head. It is based on how your belief/integrity is factored that would determine how you proceed. Resignation is usually an option for some folks in these positions.

I say this based on my experience with FG agencies in the past. I may be wrong though. These are all just presumptions.

Jarus:
Nothing tiresome or out of order yet, in my view. By my hunch immediately after the interview sessions, I guessed "before end of August". And that was because the recruitment has been fast so far.

The period between interview and offer is the most protracted stage of any recruitment process, more so for a company of NNPC size, and for a government company with many layers of processes. A lot of approval and review layers. And the elephant in the room - a lot of politics too.

The interview process ended on 12th July. Today is 15th August - just 5 weeks after (2 days public holiday even in-between). Don't let us forget there is also a change in executive management (GMD and COOs) along the way.

So, I don't think there is anything frustrating yet in this recruitment processes.

Hello Jarus. A quick question please. Have you spoken to your main source as regards the release of APL? If yes, did he corroborate the 'latest September' expectation as the other two sources you had shared on this thread earlier. Your kind response is well anticipated. Thank You.

larride:
The National Assembly is already on recess. The newly appointed committees haven’t even started work yet.

You people will just give yourself unnecessary headache.

If the son of the former GMD is going through the recruitment process just like everyone else and you still think NNPC is going to go share slots to any politician, you are on a long thing. There’s a reason why even those that are working presently as contract staff were asked to undergo this recruitment process.

Lest we forget, Buhari still remain Minister for petroleum.

Believe whatever you will believe.

I beg to differ on this. The fact that the GMD's son went through the recruitment process does not substantiate the transparency of the process. For starters, i could guess you have no concrete evidence of the parameters that were used to select candidates for the CBT exam other than the ones published. For all you know, all the influences had all been in the process from the start. Sometime on this thread, someone stated that even before the recruitment was advertised, a friend of his was told to submit his CV by his uncle. That guy may have done his interview in the towers as well and would also probably be given his APL. In that light can you say the recruitment had no external influences?
There may probably be some persons reading this thread and having a good laugh because their APLs are already secured.

I just don't think you can assert it is a transparent process when you don't even know what criteria was used for selection. Heck, no one can even explain the erratic reimbursement of candidates who attended the interview.

I am not a pessimist by the way. i have gone through several federal government recruitment processes to understand that it is hardly transparent.

Thank You Jarus. Your comments are always reassuring.

Jiang:
loong before it self , dis thing was really really fast.

This begs the question, if it has been ready for a long time why has there been no notification yet to the successful candidates on the outcome of the interview conducted? In my humble postulate, the delay is making this process look chary. Someone here said the list was with the GMD. I presume if that was the case, has it gone through FCC? If i read correctly, 1 or 2 persons have confirmed that it has gone through FCC.

Well, i would think the list must have gone through the management of the organisation first before going to FCC and when it is approved by FCC, the validation of the list by the management team should be seamless. This would be based on the logic that very little influences could be made on the list after FCC's approval, this is just a presumption. Otherwise, there would be no need for FCC's approval in the first place.

This is becoming tiresome.

The level of immaturity on this thread is startling. It is ubiquitous by the infantile postulates. This was expected to be Job/career thread with pertinent information. I honestly cannot wait for the APLs to be released(which is imminent by the way). Then the theorists, pranksters, jokesters and jesters(in the literal sense of the word) on this thread can move on with their lives; regardless of if they were successful or not. I sure do hope all these comments on a supposed 'faceless forum' does not transcend into your professional lives, and again, regardless of if successful or not. Intelligence usually does not equate to productivity.

PS: Do not quote me as i would not even aggrandize your mentions.
