RE - NATIONAL POWER TRAINING INSTITUE OF NIGERIA (NAPTIN)
- A Federal Scam
I write to comment on the above subject matter in which a writer claimed that the promise made by the Director General of National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), in person of Engr Dr. Reuben Okeke to grant ten (10) best graduating NGSDP trainees the right of first refusal for job placement within NAPTIN was not fulfilled.
To this effect, i am forced by the write-up to voice out my opinion concerning the subject so that the world may know whether the claim is right or wrong.
1. I was among the beneficiaries of the ten (10) best NGSDP trainees who graduated in 2012/2013 and who were employed by NAPTIN where the process was based on merit.
2. It is also worth mentioning that a large number of other known NGSDP trainees who graduated the same year were recruited by ‘Mainstream Energy Services’, a company who acquired Kainjl and Jebba Hydroelectric Power Stations after the recent privatisation exercise.
3. Other graduates of the same set have secured jobs with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and posted to different stations within the country. In all the recruitment exercises, NAPTIN certificate was given due consideration.
4. Another aspect to remember is that non- NGSDP graduates recruited by any of the electricity companies (Gencos, Discos, TCN) were being sent to NAPTIN by the companies who usually pay for them to undergo the same training. At the same time, Old staff were being sent to the same NAPTIN for advanced training.
5. However, it was categorically stated in the write-up that the training received by the writer was ‘first class’ of its kind, a fact which may guide the Federal Government in judging whether to scrap or give more support to the training institution.

madrid4real I bliv u have a reading and understanding problem. U seem to be d dullest of all ur colleagues... Who is talking abt 2012/2013 best ten here? Pls just for next time sake, don't just jump into matters without getting to understand what it's all about first..... #justanadvice

Mr. Awaa and co, b4 u guys chooses to make yourselves Naptin advocates, I just want u guys to place ursefs in d graduates shoes, most of which struggled, worked hard, left their manageable jobs, placed important financial commitment on hold based on d faith they have in d program and its organisers just to be part of d promised better life after d programme as preached by d sweet spoken Engr Okeke and his loyalist, and ended up sitting at home for close to two years after such high hope that made them cough out #750k as tuition fee before other cost of running the program for a complete year........ I guess u guys and ur families would have prefer it dat way abi? These graduates ain't asking for anything personal here but just reminding d organization d need to b sincere n truthful when dealing with people that are educated. Where is Naptin and ministry of power integrity? They should know that these graduates have endured a lot and are now ready to take their plight to any length to ensure they seek redress. Enough of some privileged few thinking they can just do anything they like and get away with it..... This is just d beginning! #changeisontheway!
