So we are now going with the 1% theory?

My personal person. . Nothing dey happen.

hafeezsemzy:
You mean these same people you will pay 4m up front when they resume?

Without theories or sources, it makes more sense to pay off people you won't be employing as compensation.

Any ways I would appease myself with 'there is no connection between alert and APL".

You yarn well.

Twhizzy2:
This hypothesis no even follow. How will a company be reimbursing successful candidates their transport fare.

Na assurance i dey give you so.

bobowaja:
This guy sef.... So it is no longer 1%...it is now 2%

1% and others on FCC and Mgt considerations.

cocococo:
King-Anyam has paid me my 6k (EH, July 2nd, Kaduna, Zenith Bank). It is finished! I’m in sifia pain. I just want to sleep & wake up next year.

Congrats you passed FCC and Mgt list.

Read and debunk extra slots for Oil Producing Communities. I wish you all good luck as the list is ready and APLs to be communicated in August.

But there is a general perception that recruitment into the Grade A parastatals like NNPC, CBN and few others has been rather skewed in favour of a section of the country over the past few years?

We have indices that we generated for identifying areas from which to take more people or less numbers. For instance, in each of the MDAs in the country, there is a certain percentage that is called ‘adequate representation’. It is expected that each state should have between 2. 0 % representation but anything above 3% is over-representation for any particular state. Anything below 2.0% is under-representation. In all MDAs, the Federal Capital Territory is supposed to have 1% representation because of its special status.

However, over the years, we discovered that because of the history of some of the MDAs, the state of origin of several past heads tended to have higher than normal representation. These are things that we try to correct so that it won’t be more than 3%. We do not say that people should be sacked because of these inherited problems but the best we can do is to correct things over time; in new or subsequent recruitments, states that are over-represented get lesser slots and the under-represented states are a bit favoured in new recruitments so that they can catch up.

Does that explain the incorrectness of widespread perception that more northerners are being recruited into the federal civil service?

That is incorrect; it is not true. For instance, if you go through the 2016 nominal role of the NNPC, you will see that out of about 8, 352 work-force, Rivers State has 10.6 % representation whereas a state like Borno has 2. 2. What is laid down is that for equitable representation, each state should have about 2-3 %. Gombe State has 1. 4 %, Taraba has 1.3 %, Zamfara has 1.3 %, and Ondo is 2.7% which is adequate representation while Osun and Oyo States are also under-represented with 1.9% each.

We will not say that they should drive away workers who are of Rivers State origin but in any subsequent recruitment, the Character Balancing Index that we are doing for NNPC is such that if 500 are to be recruited, Rivers State may have zero because it is already over-represented and states like Bauchi will have 16 of the new employees. Bauchi State’s present representation capacity is only 1.5%.

This is the way in which we can redress existing imbalances. We analyze the nominal rolls of MDAs and analyze comprehensively.

All the excuses that some states lack capacity or educational capacity are unreal; now, there is no state in Nigeria where you will seek even a PhD holder that you won’t get.

So, no state is truly educationally-disadvantaged?

No, I am not saying that there is no state here that is not educationally backward. But there is no state in the federation where you cannot get at least one Master’s degree holder in any particular discipline.

Does the federal character principle extend to the law enforcement and security agencies.

The the hook and ànchor of the argument.

BenFlash:
Answer to your first question is an absolute Yes. For the second question, it is quite unusual for a Ph.D. holder to be applying for a GT position. Having a Ph.D. implies having an indisputably advanced level of knowledge in a particular field with research works as evidence.

A Ph.D holder should be applying in the capacity of a consultant and leave GT positions for GTs. My assertions only hold sway in Nigeria though. I can't speak for other countries especially the advanced ones.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

BenFlash:
Truth is, as much having a masters gives you a miniscule advantage over non-masters holder, based on my recruiting experience, what recruiters really look out for is your work experience and what you can bring to the table. If we restrict it to just GT roles with no much experience, I can beat my chest that a GT with just B.Sc or B.Tech. but with impressive past projects under his belt will most certainly be favoured over a Masters holder with little or no project. In fact, in most roles, professional certification takes precedence over masters.

Why You may ask? It is because M.Sc. is generally academic, while professional certifications have been designed to address skill gaps in specific career paths.

Good point. Do you consider impressive past projects like entreprenuerial ventures with over 20 staff and revenue in millions an advantage over MSc with liitle or no project?


Do you consider an MSc with a PH.d with little projects less than a GT with several projects?

I am using the MECE to think through the action points.

But I love your submissions and want to hear your view.

you're not making any sense...I still don't understand what you're trying to prove

the trumpet you are blowing is fake.

Teaser4:
yes na naija, i never tell anyone I studied outside the country, I don't know what you're trying to prove kiddo.

You say stuff that are just baffling. Na you sabi pass. Na you hussle pass. Please go and resolve Osun State Financial challenges and salary payments issues before you insult the north.

You claim you are from Ogun, you don't act like one (born and bred). ISE LOOGUN ISE. You know everyone has value, as long as you keep trying.

sup bro.... Hahaha.. My route during underg..na Admin/law/social sciences/humanities,/amphi/ all academics sha...na almost everywhere we dey receive lectures... Hostel Faj{100lvl to 300lvl)/Awo(block 8final year).... We fit don meet sha you never know boss...

Na Naija you study. with all these mouth.

What is a technicality?

Awaiting APL without alert or with alert


Odds of getting APL higher from non competitive states vs competitive states. Irrespective that normal distribution says otherwise.



Believing that your discipline would be favoured over others i.e. ICT over Engineering.


All these are trifles. Las Las na Grace.

This Access Bank Theory is calamitous. In the sense that Access Bank would not interview 9000 candidates for both GT and EH at their H/O or a chosen venue. The number that may resume training school would be around 200 or less. For EH, it would be far less.

Access Bank does not have FCC issue to deal with, no political pressures, and no public opinion in its recruitment process.

Access Bank recruitment does not gather public interest and information dissemination. Where have you heard Access Bank conducting test for 60,000 candidates across 50 centres in Nigeria.

Lastly, the Board and Management of Access Bank have 100% discretion on hiring decisions without any balancing act for fairness and equal representation.


The Access Bank theory of T/FARE is for recruitment without hurdles and stringent rules.

Teaser4:
yes majority of you guys don't know jacksh1t... I served in the north...I was a subject teacher...in a class of 72 students, barely 10% understand English. Yes there are exceptional students in the north but compare to us in the south that's no match, stop hallucinating ... You studied in ogun state, (OSU,funaab,mapoly,gateway poly, or private uni)..name your school and course of study lemme access you. I was born and raised in Ogun state, though I went to uni in Osun state (Greatest citadel of learning, OAU)... Im not a tribalist, i just qoute you..cos I felt you need to be accessed...i have no problem with any region. Name your so called school and course of study...Im waiting...

The demographics you are talking about (public secondary schools) have taken a jump into the future. In comparison to 1960 to 1990. The current period of 1990 to 2020 has seen dramatic increase in school enrollment. Albeit the public schools are not providing the quality education and pedigree at that stage of development. I suppose its the same situation in the South or else that ' no be say I no pay girl' for Warri go complain.

That your jack shit statement shows pride before a fall. Take a chill pill. You no sabi pass.

Relationship between alert and APL

My NNPC Interview Feed Back. Remember it lasted for 15 to 20 Minutes. I learnt those who gave concise and structured answers without bandied words were asked further questions.
Positives.
1. Ability to generate original ideas based on context/recurring themes.
2. Great dialogue and not monologue. Did not just convince self but interviewers and created a woods became forest situation.
3. Used the highest level of blooms taxonomy to explain competencies, skills and key performance indicators
4. Mulitidimensional approach to general questions and not undimensional or quoting verbatim.
5. Critiqued the bad cop strategy and aced the working independently, In teams, and under pressure situation questions.
6. Good energy, drive and crisp.
7. Broad and relevant experience.

Negatives.
1. Did not stay up to date with latest versions of working platforms.

Summary: A great fit for the role. Takes responsibility and nurtures a team. Pluralistic and real world practice oriented.

Aye o kpe meji o. Guys relax its 2 weeks to August. As you are so we were and as we are so shall you be.

Those without Italian sauce can reach out to recruitment_feedback@nnpcgroup.com.

I would love to meet this @flowwolf09 guy in person. Chai

Give me your map. Its a small world.

larride:
Bros, please stop arguing with yourself.

You be sabiness now?

larride:
At this point, I think it is right to put up disclaimer in any of my post to you.


DISCLAIMER: I am only responsible for what I write/post, I am not responsible for whichever way you interpret it.

How did the NNPC staff transfer the monies to various banks at the same time through NEFT?

Teaser4:
lol..I be hustler...made every penny from the street.. judging by the way you respond...your age go be between 21-24... you're sounding like my 3rd sibling....E.O.D...

At the first whiff of a decent paying job you want to leave the street. Streets is where the money is. Why go for security when you can get freedom. Someone who has been on both sides.

larride:
Bros, comprehension is very very important.


I will advice that before replying to any post, make sure you read the post two to three times and make sure you read it slowly so you can understand the post better.

I see you misunderstood simple transactions. Let me allow you to go and learn how the NNPC staff was able to upload all the names to various banks.

Teaser4:
you be learner ...no be everybody wey apply for this job be broke ass...some of us dey look for stable flow of income ni o...i no dey blow my trumpet sha. too childish...alaye go to bed.

Thank you Mr Silver spoon. Omo Dangote and Adenuga. Na only you get money.

Teaser4:
maybe he's a cashier..

Come make I pay you.

larride:
Maybe because of transfer limit. I thought you said you are a banker?

The contention was T+1 and not value.

Kevlala:
If u knew u won't be arguing with BenFlash. The guy Don leave u go sleep. I will do same. Good night.

No one is bragging. Ur tots have been misplaced through out today. May God give u better tots for tomorrow.

You need a paradigm shift. I can see your vibrations are low frequency.

Swargu:
NIP is a normal kind transfer
NEFT is USUALLY a next day transfer. (the few people who received today were probably payed yesterday otherwise they would have used NIP once)

That been said, please guys all this conspiracy theories are worthless, NNPC I know will box everybody (apart from abuja guys (maybe))..

Lets hope and pray for the best, God bless you all.

I must say this thread is funny and full of misleading suspense.

Thank You. This says it all.

Kevlala:
I think pple shud stop arguing with u. Including me.
U need a lot of enlightenment.

Humble urself and learn from experienced guys.

What every front line staff know is what you are bragging about.
