Will soon be a physics graduate by God grace still contemplating on doing my msc on medical physics

getting nice tips from this thread.

Cc: olukenzo

if I were you, I'd go for an Msc in Exploration GeoPhysics or an Msc Petrophysics & Formation Evaluation degree. They are in high demand right now. A good BSc Degree in Physics(atleast a 2:1) will brighten your chances. Cheers!!!..

I guess so, chevron operates well in the Escravos.

According to Channels TV, they were coming from an oil rig. I assume they are offshore oil workers or Oil service workers.

This is why National ID and consistent quality data capture is important.

Updating birth,death and immigration records appropriately would have reduced our Census cost.

I hope we get it right this time.

The NPC Updates the Birth, Death and Other statistical data every year end. It isn't just enough compared to a large-scale census figure.

The possibility of first oil from the Aje shallow-water field offshore Lagos this year has received a significant boost with the commencement of drilling on the Aje-5 production well on the Oil Mining Licence 113.

The Aje-5 well is part of the first phase of a two-phase development plan for the field.

The well is being drilled with the Saipem Scarabeo 3 semi-submersible drilling rig, Panoro Energy, one of the joint partners involved in the Aje field development, said in a statement on Monday.

The firm said, “Following drilling, the Aje-5 well will be completed as a subsea oil production well.

“The drilling and completion for Aje-5 is expected to take approximately 70 days. Following this, the rig will be used to re-enter the existing Aje-4 well to complete it as a second Cenomanian subsea oil production well.”

It added that installation of the production manifold, flowlines, umbilicals and risers would take place in the fourth quarter of this year, after which the floating production, storage and offloading vessel, the ‘Front Puffin’, would be installed and opened.

“Production is expected to commence by year-end 2015 at an initial anticipated production flow rate of approximately 1,100 barrels of oil per day, net to Panoro from these two wells, in accordance with the first phase of the approved Field Development Plan.”

...Since he made exceptions for federal bodies established under the 1999 constitution ,is NECO , ,for example affected by this dissolution?NLs should guide me accordingly..

Although NECO wasn't part of the boards mentioned, it is a sub-stratum of the National Board of Education Measurements. NECO isn't part of the exempted boards. Read here: http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-sacks-agencies-boards-nimasa-boss/

A consortium of investors on Tuesday announced the acquisition of 60 per cent of the economic rights and 51 per cent of the voting rights in the downstream business of Oando Plc, an integrated oil and gas company, for a sum of $276m.

A statement issued by Adeshola Komolafe of Media Insight, consultants to the consortium, named the consortium members as Helios Investment Partners and The Vitol Group.

She said the consortium had reached an agreement to acquire Oando’s downstream businesses subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and customary purchase price adjustments, including working capital.

Komolafe said, “The new downstream and retail business will be established as a standalone independent company led by a local management team.

“Its assets will comprise over 400 service stations in Nigeria with supporting infrastructure, including 84,000 tonnes of storage and a newly built inbound logistics jetty; as well as complementary businesses, chiefly LPG filling and distribution, lubricants and an interest in a supply and bulk distribution company in Ghana.

“The new business will be the second largest downstream fuels company in Nigeria, with a market share of 12 per cent.”

It is anticipated that the service stations will retain the Oando brand, she added.

Speaking on the deal, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Vitol, Mr. Ian Taylor, said, “Vitol has a long history of working in Nigeria and is proud to have served our customers here over many years. This investment is a further reflection of our confidence in the Nigerian economy and will be independent of the services we provide to our long standing Nigerian customers.

“We are looking forward to building this new downstream business, alongside our many other business activities in Nigeria.”

The Co-founder and Managing Partner, Helios Investment Partners, Mr. Tope Lawani, said, “This is a market-leading downstream energy business with a strong brand and exciting growth potential.

“Given our successful partnership with Vitol to create Vivo Energy, a leading downstream business, which distributes and markets Shell branded fuels and lubricants in 16 countries across Africa, we are confident that our expertise and regional presence will support the management team in capitalising on its strong market position and the compelling growth opportunities in Nigeria.”

Oando confirmed the transaction in a statement on Tuesday, saying that the total consideration of $461.3m would be funded by a $276.8m cash contribution from HVI and $184.5m in preference shares issued to Oando Plc, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, including working capital and long-term debt.

At closing, HVI will own 60 per cent of the special purpose vehicle, while Oando will hold a 40 per cent stake.

Commenting on the partnership agreement, the Chief Executive Officer, Oando, Mr. Wale Tinubu, said, “This transaction is an exciting development in downstream West Africa. By working with Vitol, a global energy and commodities company, and the largest independent trader of energy products, and Helios, a premier Africa-focused private investment firm, we have repositioned Oando Downstream for a new era of investment growth and profitability.

“This venture holds unprecedented opportunities for the business. Importantly, this divestment also enables us to increase our focus on our upstream and midstream businesses. Even as proceeds of the sale will be applied almost entirely to reducing Oando’s leverage, we underscore the portfolio rationalisation achieved alongside the balance sheet optimisation.” Source: http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/oando-sells-downstream-business-for-276m/

Hmm!I concur with what OP indicted to a reasonable extent.imagine a biochemistry student in OAU offering maths and physics in d second year with only 2 more years to spend in school.it's biochemistry,not biotechnology.meticulously looking at this,it's devoid of any iota of sense.in the same vein,students of microbiology substantially start doing their MCB in d 3rd year with only a more year to spend in school.it's perspicuously ostensible this evidently implies the previous years are nothing but a complete rejectamenta.our educational sector needs to be ameliorated.ipso facto,d gargantuan greed of our circumstantial leaders exacerbates more the situation.

Take it easy sir!

That's a needless portfolio at the Federal level... It should be limited to the states.

the ministry of environment can never be scrapped and it can't be limited to the states.

This video has been making its rounds since yesterday but the origin of it is uncertain. It’s a video of some white soldiers from what looks like an eastern European country lip singing one of King Sunny Ade’s song. This is a good lesson in audio syncing. It’s pretty dope! [url][/url]
