Quite sad and confusing I must say.

darado:
Going by this post, is there hope for EH? I doubt.

Press Release:

Newly Recruited NNPC Graduate Trainees Assume Duty on Monday

More than 1,000 graduate trainees recently recruited by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are to assume duty Monday 4 May, 2020, a release by the corporation’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru, has stated.

The trainees are to assume duty first, virtually while the corporation monitors the COVID -19 situation and the Federal Government’s directives to determine a date of physical assumption of duty.

The release said the option of virtual assumption of duty was necessitated by the need to comply with extant protocol on social distancing and reduced number of people in workplace, among other measures that have been introduced by government as a result of the pandemic.

The NNPC spokesman said the trainees had completed online documentation, and will commence virtual onboarding on Monday.

The release said the Group Managing Director of the corporation, Mallam Mele Kyari, was excited about the assumption of duty of the graduate trainees, saying they are part of the succession plan to assure the future of NNPC.

Mallam Kyari congratulated the successful graduate trainees being brought onboard the NNPC system, adding that much was expected of them.

The assumption of duty of the graduate trainees marks the successful completion of the 2019/2020 recruitment exercise.

The release stated that in pursuance of excellence, NNPC as an equal opportunity employer with business interests across the Oil & Gas Industry value chain, will continue to recruit the best hands in order to buoy its operations nationwide.

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

Pleaseany PhD applicant done interview yet? Tips will be appreciated.

Happy birthday to you. I appreciate your generous updates and advice, especially with regards to studying/scholarships abroad. May you reap the fruits of your labor. Amen

Please I need your opinion on this. I was shortlisted for the ptdf oss interview (PhD). I have my BSc cert and statement of result for my MSc.

Will they accept my MSc notification/statement of result? I concluded my MSc 2017. Thanks

So today is my birthday. Congratulations to me.

Few things has happened in the past. Previously, we were two Nigerians, but currently, I am the only Nigerian or say African in my class. Something good happened and my classmate left for good. I am now a lone ranger, but a committed one.

The prevalence of the recent pandemic-Covid19 has again raised a lot of questions in the mind of people, a big issue in the hearts and heads of conspiracy theorists. Whatever, you view about it is, one thing is sure, it is real and it kills. So guys, stay safe and always protect yourself. Do not propagate fake news or rumors about it as it could trigger panic. Also, remember our population is an ignorant one.

A lot of things has been cancelled, infact, unlike Nigeria that when a health minister gives information about Covid19, and Obasanjo says otherwise and people would believe Obasanjo more than the health ministers, the French people follow scientific recommendations and government directives. Ever since the outbreak, we have been informed through all means on how to protect ourselves. Wearing gloves doesn't solve the problem except you work in the hospital. We have been informed to always wash our hands, stay away (for now) from public gatherings, and do not visit the elderly (in other not to infect them). Follow same process too guys. We care so much about you guys and we want you all hale and hearty.

The world is actually not as big as we think. It's spreading.

I have got some nuclear stories, I will share them soon. Happy birthday to me.

Good day,
Please I was shortlisted for the ptdf oss interview (PhD). I have my BSc cert and statement of result for my MSc.

Will they accept my MSc notification/statement of result? I concluded my MSc 2017. Thanks

An opportunity to face PTDF scholarship interview panel is one you want to make good use of. As someone who has been there twice (Masters and PHD) and aced the interviews. Here are some keys you should note if you want to be adequately prepared for the interview.

Points to note on PTDF scholarship interview:


1.Both MSc and Ph.D. candidates will face the interview panel.Barring any changes, there will be no “CBT test” in 2020 as in other years (2019, 2018). Although, MSc candidates can practice some past questions to deepen technical and general knowledge.

2.The interview will be conducted by a panel of about 4 interviewers, that is 2 – 3 PTDF HR-personnel, and one or two persons from theacademic community (Usually university professors.)

3.Each member of the panel has a copy of your application details and academic credentials, documents, and resume. The list of documents you are to take with you to the center will be stated inthe final invitation email that will be sent to you.

4.For MSc candidates, you will be asked questions relating to yourMSC project.

5.There is no specific question format for an individual candidate,rather the questions will be based specifically on your statement of purpose (for Msc.) and your thesis (Ph.D. candidates)

6.Just like the aptitude test, PTDF interview questions are of twokinds; General questions and Technical questions. Questions willbe asked randomly in no particular order.

7.The interview session will be quite short and will normally lastfor between 10 – 15minutes per candidate.

8.The interviewers will score you based on your Communication skills, Adaptability to new environment, and also your Analytical Skills. Your academic records will also play an important role in selection.

Advice:


1. Research about the school/country you applied to.

2.Familiarize with your final year project (if you are an MSC candidate), then your MSc thesis/research proposal if you are a Ph.D candidate.These two will play a vital role in whether you will be selected or not.

3.Take note of your references and citations. Check to make sure they are up to date

4.Get familiar with your statement of purpose, or thesis as the case may be. Why you want to study that course. How your work will impact positively on, and add value to the Nigerian the oil and gas industry. How your training will contribute to local content development.

5.Familiarize with PTDF mandate, vision, and mission. Prepare to answer questions relating to that.

6.Be confident even if you don’t know the answer to a question. If you don’t know it, say you don’t. But if you have an idea, do not hide your opinion.

7. Identify a gap in the oil and gas industry and why you want to fill that gap. Make this point known in your responses.

8.Appearance matters.

Lastly, you should always hope on God to help and guide you. All the best!

You obviously don't follow this thread.
