₦airaland Forum

Same here, someone on another thread said they are recruiting for a certain one year training program. Any one with an idea on this?

Oluwaskilashi:
@ bidexmimi, its not MTN CCR contract job although PVTI did recruit such job but it was for ISON BPO who currently handles MTN NG call centre....PVTI is a training school this is a year program and details would be revealed during recruitment

Please do you know anything about this new training? It ain't easy spending so much on travelling over there only to discover it's something one isn't interested in. Thanks

teekem:
Now am sacred cos just got work from their Ilorin center

Please when are you resuming or have you resumed?

sasquareT:
Unimaid and you?
I'm from kabba but currently reside in Lagos

Kogi state polytechnic

And it's really funny that outside the scope of Nigeria, this career is trending and in fact everywhere even in countries with less mineral endowment when compared with Nigeria.

sasquareT:
It seems you ar from Kabba right?....I'm a fresh geology graduate waiting for the compulsory NYSC stuf too. I will like to no you.

I live at Kabba.
It'll be nice to know you too. Thanks
You finished from which school?

raayah:
I am not into mining per se, but I work with metals.

Since you just finished NYSC, I think you should just cast your net into the engineering job ocean. Don't be too specific for now. Just get into the industry and find a way to get to mining.

Thanks, actually waiting to begin NYSC.
Thanks once again

Here and there on this forum we've seen and read posts relating to so many career paths. We see threads on Job vacancies, professional certifications, career progression techniques, training on related software's etc.on several disciplines (even the most remote).
It's daunting and surprising that I have found almost none targeted a yet mining engineering or engineers. Even where you find one on geology and mining, you end up finding everyone on the thread professing to be geologists.
Are there no mining engineers? I'll take No for an answer.
Are there no jobs for mining engineers? I doubt that too
Maybe we don't just know how to use the web? It should be a big lie
Are we just too busy with work? Bankers should be busier.
It's a truth that when you study mining engineering, there is a focus more on the working of solid mineral deposits, but going through the curriculum shows that we do bits and pieces of all basic engineering fields( I mean enough to make us relevant even in such fields). I therefore can't fathom any ineptitude in our training system.
It's then alarming that you see that adverts (even from the oil and gas sector - a relative offshoot of mining) rarely or don't post vacancies for mining engineers.
The Nigerian system of revenue generation has neglected the solid mineral sector, missing the rather consistent and juicy revenue that would have accrued from this sector.
Is solid mineral mining dead? No, I know of a few big names as Dangote and few other quarries, but I don't seem to come across these mining engineers or anything related to them. I know we are few, as only one university and about three polytechnics offer this course, Bit where are we?


Mining engineers on this forum, Please where are you?
What is happening?
Are there no Jobs?
Is the country's environ that hostile?
I'm curious coz asides the money therein, I have a passion for engineering and mining in particular - probably because of its rugged and extremely demanding nature.

Note
A young and recent graduate of mining engineering, waiting for NYSC. But while I wait, I'm hoping for either an intern, training in mining specific software's, but nothing in sight. I'll appreciate any help. Thanks.
Please mods, I'll appreciate if this can be moved to the front page, even if not for the content, at least for the possibility of better inputs and information from experienced personnel. CC Lalasticala

I'm surprised at the fact that I can't seem to find mining Engineers on this thread or even on this forum! Please, what's happening?
If you are a mining professional, please do come forth and spare us aspiring ones the fear created by the vacuum of your absence

bidexmimi:
It's Mtn csr...40k and bad contract

Please, what's the contract like?
Thanks

bolinchin:
OK.tx I will be expecting

Sorry for the late reply, things were a bit tight. I don't know if its still needed.
Idofin is not in the midst of the main isanlu. If the car is stopping at Isanlu, u can take a bus(agolo) or a bike to idofin. But if the car is going towards yagba west area like egbe, ejiba etc. just inform the driver you're going to idofin, and you will be dropped there. Its just a few minute after the main isanlu town.

bolinchin:
please how does one get to idofin isanlu from kabba.my friend needs to get to national biotechnology development agency (nabda) on Monday.please help ooo

Take a bike from within kabba to Isanlu park. It is located about 500meters from the location of first bank, it's along that same path.
Kabba to Isanlu costs 700 naira at the park. Isanlu is one hour drive from Kabba.
I'll modify my post to include the direction of the place you mentioned later.

[quote author=donkazy post=39393336][/quote]If you're getting to Okene before Lokoja- I don't know which route enters Kogi from Abia. You are to stop at Okene.
Depending on where the Bus is going, the normal stopping point or bus stop in Okene is at Total filling station. Total is situated at a 'T' junction. Opposite it is GTB, on the other free side I.e the right-side while facing it from GTB, you have the bus stop. Which is across the road, where you can get a car to Kabba. 350- 400 naira
OR
If your bus is going to Lokoja, you can drop at Kabba junction if it's passing through the town - but this can be difficult if the driver doesn't know the place as there are two Kabba junction, one in Okene and the other very close to Lokoja, and there are two routes out of Okene- one bypasses Kabba junction. Here we're going through the one at Okene.
You can also take a bike from Total to Kabba junction(50 naira).
The park at Kabba junction is situated beside a filling station. Just tell the bike you're going to Kabba park at Kabba junction. It's 300 naira to Kabba. It's faster getting a car here than at Total.
NOTE- Do not board a car from any where else asides these two places, although you can get elsewhere, but its dangerous since you're still a JJC.

Harinholar:
@khayleb pls is deir am ATM in the camp....?

There's no ATM at the camp.
My advice
Get the money you need at Kabba before going into the camp, although this can be stressful at times as only First bank seems to be fully functional for now in Kabba, and it serves the town and neighboring communities - think of the congestion.
Coming from where? If you're passing through Lokoja, you might consider withdrawing from there before heading to Kabba, but it's a risk travelling that route with much cash- God will protect you guys.
There's no salary now, so congestions' has reduced, you might not mind spending between 30 minutes to 1hour to get your money at Kabba. Whatever, just pray and God will make things work out well

donkazy:
plz when I get to lokoja, how do I get to the camp

Kabba where the Asaya camp is located is about 1hour 30minutes drive from Lokoja. Asaya is about 10-20 minutes bike ride from Kabba.
Where are you coming from? So that I can be specific on my answer to your question if I know where you'd alight.
From any where in Lokoja, take a bike or cab to ostrich- the one beside Yisab aortel office or tell the chauffeur your going to Firstbank at Ganaja junction. Kabba bis stop is on the left of the First bank at Ganaja junction. Ostrich is opposite the bus stop.
NOTE- there are two to three branches of first bank in lokoja, specify that you are going to the one at GANAJA JUNCTION.

Hi guys.
I stay at Kabba. Probably gonna be A'16.
If you need any help that's within my power, I'll be willing to help you out. God bless. Just quote me and I'll reply you.

mumihaja:

Chrisviral, toboy! How are you guys doing?

Good morning everyone. I have an OND in mineral resources engineering and I just finished my HND in mining engineering. I need a job to do before the NYSC. Any good opening or listing will be appreciated. It doesn't necessarily have to be my field as long as they're ready to accept me, I'm adaptive and diligent and will definitely do fine in any field. Thanks all.

corpROYAL:
do u know how to identify solid minerals?

Thanks, yes I do.
Sorry for the late reply, final exams has kept me offline.

I have a National Diploma in Mineral resources engineering and have a month more to be through with my HND in mining engineering. Very adaptive and would appreciate a work opportunity. Please anyone that can be of help on any listing or otherwise. Thanks

Please I need a sharp AR M207 photocopier. If you don't have this model, let me know of any other you have at a close range plus the prices. Thanks.

Hello please,
I'm thinking of buying this photcopier, don't know how good it is for business and how easy it is to get spare parts.
It's a new startup and affording a new one now is a not difficult as the prices I see online ain't funny.
I will appreciate input on other good models, associated prices and any cheap new one sha.
Anyone who can get me an A grade toks of this model from lag too, probably any seller here, thanks
