Guys; calling me names? I laugh! I see it as a demonstration of frustration. I'm not indifferent of the fact that ''the index of oppression is a factor determined by the oppressed and not the oppressor''. But the big question is, who is your oppressor in this case Certainly not Engr. Okeke nor NAPTIN. .
It pricks my conscience on a daily basis that my pals are still at home jobless at this time. All I stand for is justice and fairness. Don't cultivate a life that is characterized by ''pull him down syndrome''. You are yet to identify your problem and as such, far from the solution. Engr Okeke and NAPTIN are trying to secure your placement but in a privatized economy, you cannot madate an employer to increase his work force against his policy.
It is unfortunate that GENCOS are not awake yet.
Guys! neither NAPTIN nor her DG has the power to impose any employee on an employer.
I insist! NAPTIN is an Institute.

HIPROFILE:

Hmmmmmm ...Thank goodness you finally landed. But i must say again that you merely do nat understand what this guys are asking for. They arent saying naptin should employ them all... No .they are Oboy saying that NAPTIN should fulfil their statement of job offer to the best ten of which they did for your own set as you claimed to be a benefactor. As well as the 189 Engineers they said would be absorbed into TCN. Now the pains this guys get is that even the said TCN do employ personnel almost everytime and no consideration is in anyway given to this guys (the already trained ones) rather TCN would employ fresh graduates and still send them to NAPTIN for same training.

Why the waste of fund, why nat employ the already trained .... It is much more cost effective to retrain a staff if you wish.

It is a big risk and a waste of human resources to gain this kinda training and fail to put it into practice.

Maybe NAPTIN played to the gallery by saying that an other has been issued by the presidency to employ 189 engineers. Unfortunately these guys held and hoped onto this statements as it is a direct statement of hope.

Staying idle for a long time without any job despite the kinda skill they have acquired could make these intelligent and well meaning nigerians to devulge into negative acts.

I think they are only trying to cryout because many never knew this until now.

In the first instance, I'm finding it tedious to comprehend why you are now using a third party subject (they, this guy, them etc) in your write up.
Are u an NGSDP graduand or you are hired?
If you are, please! remain consistent in expressions. ''The probability that you may fail in a struggle ought not to deter you from a course you believe to be just. Or don't you believe in your post any longer?
-If TCN refuse to employ already trained personnel and decided to waste their money by employing and sending to NAPTIN for the same training; does it make NAPTIN a scam?
-If federal government speaks through the minister and are yet to implement the speech, for reasons you and I can not unfold, does it make NAPTIN a scam?
-When you were applying for the NGSDP (as you claimed some of you resigned your jobs because of Engr OKeke's promise of job offer) did you know Engr. Okeke?
-The advert NAPTIN placed that made you resign your job, does it contain the promise of job offer?
My dear, don't mistake movement for achievement. It is easy to be faked out by being busy but the question is; ...busy doing what?
So what exactly are you up to?

I want to sincerely sympathize with you my people, who graduated from the NAPTIN Graduate Skills Development Programme (NGSDP), and are yet to secure any job placement. I am one of the pioneers of the NGSDP i.e. 2012/2013 batch. It is indeed pathetic to remain jobless after all the stress and strains involved in the training we went through. Being that as it may, I want to emphatically state that your objurgations against Engr. Reuben Okeke, the DG of NAPTIN and NAPTIN as an Institute is sheer jejune.
By the infinite mercy of the ‘‘supreme being’’ who is the creator of humanity, I emerged the best in all that were trained in thermal stations across the country as well as one of the best ten pioneers. Without mincing words, I am today a Mechanical Instructor with NAPTIN as a fulfillment of the promise made by the DG, Engr Reuben Okeke to give the right of first refusal to the best ten graduating trainees (like you quoted). Engr Reuben Okeke is a man of integrity, rectitude and honour who does not play ducks and drakes. This is a fact too gargantuan and indisputable to be refuted. Holding him and NAPTIN, who are fighting tooth and nail to proffer the necessary and sufficient panacea to your malady responsible for your predicament, is unfounded and absurd. As a young Engineer (or Engineering graduate), I expect you to know that ‘‘what so ever you do to someone, someday, someone will equally do same to you’’ in accordance with the principle of retributive justice. Since our graduation in 2013, I have been privileged to be available, a couple of times the DG, Engr Reuben Okeke addressed trainees. All he does is to draw analogy from the fact that the best ten pioneers were engaged by NAPTIN, as a way of encouraging diligence and hardwork among the trainees and never any promise of job to hold on to.
The identification of a problem is a step to the resurrection of its solution. I want to tell you ‘the acclaimed’ 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 graduates of NGSDP that you are yet to identify your problems. And as such, you are far from the solution. I enjoin you to stop majoring in minor. The act establishing NAPTIN defines NAPTIN as a training Institute and not a job provider for Nigerians. I’m joyous you stated that the training we received is insurmountable. The fact that the best ten pioneers were engaged does not automatically translate to the engagement of every best ten. PLEASE! CRITICIZE CONSTRUCTIVELY.
To prospective trainees of NGSDP, I want you to know that ‘‘whoever says education is expensive should try ignorance’’. The programme is meant to expand your intellectual coast and broaden your horizon for job search. Believing that your admission into the programme is automatically a job offer is not only erroneous and obnoxious but mendacious and absolutely fallacious. The programme unequivocally sets you miles apart from your peers as far as power sector is concern. The recent advertisement by Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company explicitly states that NAPTIN certificate is an added advantage. So, use your tongue to count your teeth and decide whether to spend your money and stand out of the crowd or keep your money and remain jobless. BE WISE!
