Thank you so much everyone for putting effort in one way or the other to see to the success and the release of the E.H APL, which will surely happen. Thanks to all those who pushed through the media or internet or social media. May God bless you beyond imagination in Jesus name. Amen. I did my best through the internet, and more through prayers by God's grace.

Enjoy the week ahead, and use it profitably in whatever you do.

God bless you in Jesus name. Amen.

All glory to Jesus Christ.

They were also very quiet about the GT list before it was finally released. However, I agree that we should make deliberate efforts to put NNPC under pressure, let's move beyond just paying lip service to this thing. I am ready to do whatever it takes to ensure the EH component sees the light of day. Do we have anyone here who has strong ties to the media? we can also find ways of lobbying senators or reps to help raise it on the floor of the Senate. Guys, let's act please, let's move beyond Nairaland, we are EH, let's not keep shut while this NNPC mgt does what it wants. NNPC isn't their property, they owe us explanations.

Let's spring into action now, we should show them why we are EH, and how creative we are in solving problems. Isn't that one of the major criteria for recruiting EH? Please let's make suggestions that we can act on immediately, let's come together at least for once.

Press Release:

NNPC Says Professional Competence, Transparency, Accountability, National Spread are Bases for Employment, Management Progression in Corporation

The Nigerian National Corporation (NNPC) has explained the parametres for employment as well as career progression in the corporation, using the recently concluded Graduate Trainee employment process as well as top Management promotion exercise executed by the corporation as an illustration.

The National Oil company says unblemished academic competence, logical thinking, ability to engage meaningfully in problem solving in addition to federal character are key to becoming an employee of the corporation.

To progress in the Management cadre, professional competence, accountability and transparency as well as ensuring national spread in top management positions are critical factors that are not negotiable.

Explaining the parametres, NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru, stated that the basic academic requirement for newly employed Graduate Trainees in the corporation is a minimum of a Second-Class Upper Division, or an Upper Credit for Higher National Diploma (HND) certificate holders. Alternatively, a candidate holding a Second Class Lower Division degree or an HND Lower Credit Diploma holder, must in addition have acquired a Master’s degree in a relevant field.

He said that was applicable in the last recruitment exercise where qualified applicants undertook computer-based test conducted by a neutral national examinations body, following which the best performers were further taken through a formal interview session to ensure their suitability.

Obateru stated that the end product of the rigorous exercise was the new set of employees who have shown a lot of promise since the beginning of the onboarding programme which started earlier this month including engagements with the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari, and some members of top management of the corporation.

The NNPC spokesperson says the fairness in the appointment of the new employees was such that many of the new employees expressed astonishments securing employment in the National Oil Company without any godfather.

He relayed the testimonies of a few of the Graduate Trainees who marveled at the opportunities before them:

Oluwatobi Ayo Yusuf from Lagos: Thanked the NNPC for the vision of providing a level playing field for all the participants in the recruitment process, describing it as the most fair and transparent recruitment that he has ever participated in, in Nigeria.

Onianwa Vin-Kingsley: Described NNPC recruitment process as excellently remarkable and urged other private and government institutions to always take a cue from the NNPC in order to inspire confidence in Nigeria youths.

Onyeulo Ikenna, a First Class graduate of Chemical Engineering: said despite the rigorous online application process for the NNPC job which almost deterred him from applying, he was impressed that he was employed without knowing any godfather anywhere.

Enyi Ada, from Port Harcourt, Rivers State: said NNPC’s employment journey disappointed all her negativity about how recruitment processes were conducted in Nigeria, stressing that despite the Novel Coronavirus pandemic, the corporation was able to conclude the process seamlessly.

Bolarinwa Simeon, a Civil Engineer: Said life was willing to give you whatever you wanted, noting that the entire NNPC recruitment process was transparent and credible from the computer-based test to the interview.

Suleiman Mahmud: Explained that his journey to NNPC was miraculous as he applied on the last day of the application and after receiving his offer of appointment his sick mother recovered from her age-long ailment miraculously.

The 1,050 graduate trainees were recently recruited by the NNPC and assumed duty virtually on Monday 4 May, 2020, due to the lockdown occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Country.

Obateru says the experiences of the long-time employees of NNPC are not dissimilar to those of the new intakes, adding that professional competence, adherence to the principle of transparency and accountability informed the recent top management appointment executed in the first week of March this year.

He further explained that the principle of federal character was also a factor in the progression of the newly appointees.

Throwing more light, Obateru stated that many top management officers of the corporation were moved to new positions while some were promoted based on their verifiable track records of performance, saying some Chief Operating Officers, Group General Managers and Managing Directors of subsidiaries were affected in what some industry analysts described as the most objective placement exercise in the recent history of the National Oil Company.

Topping the list of the changes, he said, was the re-deployment of the erstwhile Chief Operating Officer (COO), Upstream, Mr. Roland Ewubare, to the Ventures and Business Development Directorate as COO.
Under the arrangement, Ewubare, in the new order got an additional responsibility of business development, besides managing the group’s ventures.

Obateru stated that Ewubare would bring his competence to bear in the onerous task of laying the groundwork for the corporation to take up new business opportunities and challenges thrown up by the COVID-19 impasse. The new position would also see Ewubare traversing Downstream, Midstream and Upstream sectors to develop new ventures.

Prior to his promotion as COO, Upstream, Ewubare was the Group General Manager, National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) between August 2017 and July 2019. He was also the Managing Director, Integrated Data Services Limited, an NNPC subsidiary, from August 2015 to August 2017.

Ewubare is from the South South region of the Country.

Obateru said Ewubare’s position as COO Upstream was taken over by Engr. Adeyemi Adetunji, erstwhile Chief Operating Officer in charge of Downstream directorate.

A first-class Mechanical Engineering graduate of the University of Lagos, Adeyemi started his over 30 years career as a maintenance Engineer and later a project Engineer in Lever Brothers Nigeria Limited (Unilever).

Thereafter he joined Accenture, a management consultancy firm, where he rose to become a Partner, providing advisory services on a wide range of subjects for over 20 years.

He joined NNPC in January 2011 as the General Manager, Transformation Office – leading a team of NNPC and International Consultants to implement NNPC’s earlier developed corporate vision and strategic plans.

He is from the South West of the Country.

Obateru stated that the recent top management appointment also received affirmative action with the re-deployment of Ms. Lawrencia Ndupu to the Downstream. A Physicists and renowned explorationist, Laura, as she is fondly called by her colleagues, started her working career in NNPC in January 1986, now spanning over 32 years.

Through the years, she has held many key positions amongst which are Deputy Manager Geophysics at NAPIMS, Manager Exploration, Joint Venture Oil Operations Division, NAPIMS, and General Manger Operations, Commercial & Investment Directorate of NNPC. She had managed NNPC Oilfield Services Limited, a position she assumed since March 2016 before her recent appointment as Chief Operating Officer of the Ventures Directorate of NNPC which takes effect from 8th July, 2019.

She is from the South-East of the Country.

The changes was also spiced with the appointment of Mr. Bala Wunti, the erstwhile Managing Director of the Petroleum Products Marketing Company as the new GGM of the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS).

With a chain of experience spanning close to 30 years, Wunti who hailed from the North East, was the initiator of ‘Operation White,’ a system put in place to promote transparency and accountability in the distribution of petroleum products across the country, and is generally adjudged a perfect fit for the job.

Wunti, a thoroughbred Oil and Gas Industry professional, is a graduate of Chemistry from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, with an MBA in Marketing from the Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi and a Postgraduate Diploma in Management from the same university.

The list also included Mr. Lawal Sade as the new Managing Director of the NNPC Trading Company, a subsidiary of corporation. Before then he was the MD of NIDAS, a shipping arm of the NNPC. Mr. Sade had been essentially a marketer in the last 20 years with impressive outcomes.

During his stint in NIDAS, he secured the admittance of NNPC into the prestigious Oil Company International Marine Forum (OCIMF) membership, a globally recognized shipping community. His ability to deliver on goals has gained NIDAS a lot of credibility whereby its employees, shareholders and counterparties now have faith in its capacity to grow.

Obateru stated that the exercise kept in place Mr. Adokiye Tombomieye, from the South-South, as Group General Manager, Crude Oil Marketing, a highly strategic position in the corporation.

The NNPC spokesperson explained that the beauty of the new wave of appointments in NNPC depicted a leadership of the corporation determined and bent on ensuring placement of square pegs in square holes, while not losing sight of geographical spread, in respect of staffing.

MbaanabaraAgu:
For surely there is an end, and your expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18.

Since God has already empowered us to decree a thing and it shall be established unto us (Job 22:28), I join my faith with those of all EH hopefuls to decree an end to this protracted recruitment exercise and the coronavirus pandemic.

We call forth our appointment letters to be released unto us not later than a month from this day in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

If thou have faith as small as a mustard seed, thou shall move mountains to yonder place, and nothing shall be impossible. Matthew 17:20

It is done. Rev 21:6

Cheer up E.H comrades!! What you started in NNPC, you will finish well in Jesus name. Amen. I tell you the truth, God will finalize E.H process at the appointed time... The global issue is a factor, but it will soon fissle out..

The next items has a timeline of 31/03/2020 with the GGM, HR responsible for its execution. One of the action item is to "Implement Competency Based Deployment".

Remember the comments concerning "Internal realignment first before considering the EH list" made by Aremolomi and Loaded89.

Bigdadson:
EH brace for impact

Originakalokalo:
OK.

We will brace for impact.

IkpuNnegiEwu44:
Was hinted EH list will be out in 2 weeks. Just praying for success.

To the GTs that missed out, keep pushing, pick Masters form, this will give u advantage to apply for EH next time if age is against u for GT.

NNPC job is desirable but not getting it, is not the end of the world.

Happy Sunday

Loaded89:
Is true, they have notified all the successful GTs.
On the other hand, initially they intended to conclude the EH 2weeks after notify GTs , but now according to one of my sources he said it might reach April through may.
Rumours has it that the number of EH might be slashed, some slots will be filled internally while the remaining will be picked from the current list.
There is no definite timeline for the release, as a single TMC meeting can shift a proposed date.
No final decision have been taken yet, but the good news is that EH will see the light of the day by God grace.
The picture will be clearer as things unfold sha.

Mlayidi:
Congratulations to all GT that got it, surly we will meet at the top.

Originakalokalo:
I will be seeing my source soon with many questions. However, 2012 recruitment exercise was completed with the release of the two categories together. This I have in good authority.

Let's keep hope alive and continue to pray.

Originakalokalo:
Sure.

I just hope that they won't throw EH recruitment into the waste bin.

If soon = 4 months

Then "in due course " =

SenatorJChris:
Season movie broa

SenatorJChris:
All nah wash. No letter was printed actually. How can an organization print employment letters and store in their warehouse? Who does that!

joobseekar:
Who said you're a fan of any source?
My issue is, why will you think of GT being suspended, so as to be released together with EH?

joobseekar:
Zee Diz Wan?!

Jarus:
The accuracy (EH vs GT stage) and publication in a website which was shared widely in whatsapp groups led to serious internal issues.

freedomest:
Where is Arelemoni?

cocococo:
E go shock u say both EH and GT APLs go come out together whenever they will. Never depend on online sources, no matter who the ‘source’ is. Make the APLs come out first.

Iyajelili:
Aremolomi won't like this

Zkr5:
Mukan mun zubawa ikon Allah ido duk lokacin da Allah ya qaddara fitowar APL muna maraba kuma muna fatan yasa muna cikin masu rabo.
Saboda babu wani tabbataccan lokacin fitowarta awurinmu amma munsan Allah bai manta damu ba.
Allah yasa wannan aiki yazama alkairi ga kasarmu, musulunci da musulmai yakuma bamu ikon taimakon iyayenmu, yan'uwa, abokan arziki, marayu, miskinai da marasa karfi yakuma zama silar shiga aljannarmu.
That's my prayer to all the hopefuls, APL will definitely come sooner or later, may it favor all of us

fidebbs:
Young man, I hope your information is not just valid but very very valid and not a reliance on what happened in 2012. Checked your antecedent and you seem not be one that trolls or taunts.
I guess you are EH. I just PM you so revert back. Expecting your response. Thanks.
