You were quite vague so I drew my understanding from what you said, that's my own reading between the lines you gave. I basically just asked if you have any update info as you stated that you got some kind of intel. You could also simply say you have no info to divulge but no worries. It's NL so everybody wan show themselves.. We all know NCDMB is a 'board' but it's referred more to as an agency moreso a board.

leks4sure:


Learn to read between lines. There was no where I stated governing board. NCDMB as a whole is a "BOARD". Meanwhile, the friend of a friend is just an NYSC member fortunate to be serving there.

The friend of the friend who is on the NCDMB governing board, abeg in all the 'intel' they gave you. Did they talk about the recruitment timelines? That's the info we need now.

leks4sure:


How come CBN HR sent this application link to you and you were also doubting this recruitment just few days ago. Moreover, there is no link between CBN HR and NCDMB HR, they're not under the same ministry.

For those doubting, you can keep doubting till offer is given to us by the board.

A friend just linked me with a friend currently serving in the board. I've gotten some information but I think it would be needed at the interview and APL offer stage.

FYI, the last fresh graduate recruitment done by the board was in 2015 under the immediate past Executive secretary but was purely connection based. I was told most of those employed were from influential figures across all geopolitical zones of the country. the only similarity among them is that a good number of them had undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from schools abroad. Although, the board employed experienced hires some time ago.

This time around, the board decided to do open recruitment to give every worthy applicants fair playing ground. That's the reason behind them staying anonymous. You and I know if NCDMB should state their name, this recruitment would be hijacked by cremè de la cremè of our country starting from the host communities. But as it is now, they can easily deny recruiting if any of them should sent recommendation leetter and thereby minimize lobbying.

By God's grace, the expected hour is close by and we shall come out successful in it.

Oluwa o, four months still . I know if it comes before or by the end of the year that's still better than NNPC and Dpr that took years but God abeg. How person wan survive this apocalyptic year without a job.

teekay22:
I will suggest we all pray and hope, it’s legit sure
Let’s give it before the year runs out

gidob:
I doubt invite will roll in soon....the whole quota system stuff may delay the process...unless they want to pick randomly from every states...

As there is no update to be had at the moment. Make we no keep our mind fresh with gist and banter (also low-key gingering morale). This one that recruitment timeline fit enter years let's keep ourselves company biko. Life is for the living. As for me the small gist is helping my anxiety.

Sure, if credible info comes too we would get updated on the thread too. As far as people are being civil and not fighting and also not spreading false info, no harm done.

HarunaWest:
So many irrelevant talk here.. Its supposed to be for the latest info and updates. But it's now all bout comparison and beer parlour gist. Thrash talk

Ah na wa o. We wey still dey find job, God no go shame us o. I don tire for this jobless life. Me too I want to be waiting and complaining of salary payment

jeswinner:
Make FG no wait till Friday or next week to commence payment. Testimonies suppose don start to enter

Ah na wa o. 2yrs and 3yrs for recruitment process before being called. Someone has started a new job, passed through one year probation and can even be promoted sef in that time. Tufiakwa for this country.

Abeg may God not shame us with this NCDMB recruitment. I pray for speed and success IJN. Worse than not getting the job sef is the uncertainty of the unknown and the time delay.

It is well.

kachii77:
errm, the 2009/2010 DPR recruitment u spoke about was actually concluded in 2013 a year after the NNPC BATCH OF 2010 concluded theirs in 2012. so as at 2012 they were not called but in 2013 they were called if i recall correctly under diezaini......cheers

My exact thoughts. The way the lack of name on the recruitment is what's making people draw all this conclusions is just funny.

Basilekeh:
People are just saying NDCMB did not put their name...I wonder what that means.....this is the same recruitment that someone in one of the thread in Nairaland said its going to open before they even started.....Infact according to the person the recruitment was suppose to be held early this year but the Pandemic hindered it.....another girl affirmed that it is NDCMB her aunt was given a slot but she doesn't want to leave Abuja for Bayelsa.....weather we like it or not slots will be shared..they need to pacify some people, so we just have to do our own part and let God do the rest...even private recruitments there are people that call the shots......every Politician knows NDCMB is recruiting...I dont think not putting up name means anything... Development Bank did theirs through HCP and hid their Name but at the end back candidates entered.....Outsourcing the recruitment does not mean it can't be Influenced.....NDCMB still have full control it is what they tell the outsourcing Agency to do they will do........we should just hope for the best...do our best....some people here might have even submitted their names for this recruitment and will be laughing at us....this is Naija....

I've never applied for nnpc and dpr so I don't know how the process was but the fact that they didn't (NCDMB) put their name out means next to nothing tbh. Let's stop drawing plenty graphics from that one act. Highest it may reduce the number of applicants. I know a lot of all these speculations and glorifying of NCDMB process (and the integrity of the agency and its ES) which we are not aware of is just to make ourselves feel better and not lose hope which is not a crime. But don't talk yourself into forgetting the country you're in or how things work in reality.

The other five MPR agencies you mentioned apart from nnpc and dpr and how their recruitment is coded because they are avoiding politicians and they want meritocracy is almost laughable but it's just too sad. The one I know of their gist is PPRA, first hand info, saw with my own eyes through the whole process. They basically called the person and said Bleep minister recommended you for this recruitment (in my front, no be dem say), no submission of CV anywhere or application portal or process �. The person went, in one week wrote exam, did interview and a month after APL came. I for chook head but they said they were looking for 1st class and 2:1.

Even for the exam every body there was as a result of connect because the recruitment wasn't listed anywhere how else will you know if not for connect. Some people still didn't get it, connect pass connect and maybe they had certain requirements (like the grades, or the roles didn't fit, I no know) that they didn't meet up to but e sure me die say everybody that was employed in last year's PPPRA recruitment down to JS staff is connect. I don't have personal info on PEF but we dey hear their gist too.

So I know we want to believe the autonomy of NCDMB and how they will surprise us but there's no how the presidency won't have his slot, Minister of Petroleum won't have his slot and other key personnel. If they like let them be as honest as a pope.

The ES himself in as much as he was probably qualified for the job, we all know that it's the current Minister of Petroleum that was his connect to lobby the President to get that position.

Word getting to me is that the politics has been done and he is going to be reinstated. After the President and MPR have basically renewed your tenure in your office. You'll now tell me that you are hiring and they won't get their slots for people if they want ����.

Independent consultant or not, abeg if you get strong connection especially from Presidency to Minister of Petroleum, go and press it o. And get proper update for we that are hoping that even if they use 70% for connect let meritocracy favour us for the 30%. I really hope they are fair enough to do a high % of the recruitment with meritocracy sha but let's try to calm down with the hero worship and portraying of what is not. No be today we wan change the reality of what this country is.

leks4sure:


There is no similarity with DPR application and this. Did NCDMB state their name in the newspaper publication? Are you receiving mail from NCDMB? Did you apply on NCDMB website?
These questions should tell you the board decision is to remain anonymous till offer is given just to avoid DPR recruitment scenario from repeating itself.

Have anyone ever seen recruitment publications from any of the agencies under ministry of petroleum resources aside NNPC and DPR? The board does not want to share slots or do any shambolic recruitment. They made decision to remain anonymous and independent just to avoid this recruitment from being hijacked by both internal and external influencers.

PPRA, PTI, PEF, NNRA, PTDF have been recruiting from time to time but never advertised their vacancy because the openings there are few and government officials won't even give them breathing space for meritocracy. The pay and allowances in all these agencies is mouthwatering and assumed to be meant for highly connected citizens. NCDMB is trying to re-write all these anomalies starting from recent projects embarked.

Lol no o. Ministry of petroleum resources

hoppcee:

MPR? Do you mean Monetary Policy Rate

Abeg people with connect in MPR and the likes, does anybody have an idea with what's going on with NCDMB recruitment?

That's why I said it's speculation. And the 50 might just be for one set (GT or EH) not the entirety of the recruitment. As you said fingers crossed.

Abokii8:
They would not have advertised if they were to recruit less than 100 people. They would simply seek for a waiver from FCC and share the slots. But fingers crossed

Please people with connect get legit info about the aptitude test and the interview for us. I'm reading but because I don't know when it will be there's no urgency and sometimes I won't read for a couple of days and I'm forgetting ��.

Ejo O

Long post guys......

Hi guys I'm impatiently waiting for aptitude tests and interview. As I'm here I'm ready to start work tomorrow lol.

Anyways with regards the number of spots no one can be certain but it's definitely not 3,000. I follow the ncdmb page on Twitter and they are very present there. They've tweeted a lot about job creation sometimes they say 3,000 sometimes it's 10,000 but you have to read well to understand that they mean using their agency and the collaborations they have with oil companies, the trainings they do (not graduate trainee), things like the NLNG Train 7 project that will soon commence and other avenues to create those thousands of jobs.

But as for this particular recruitment I heard from a little bird who is connected to the MPR that it's not a high intake (he said maybe 50 but then he didn't specify whether for just GT or EH or both). Another thing you need to factor in is that all of this I speculation. They may hire 50, 100, 150, or 200 nobody knows exactly except the ES and his people but definitely not 3,000. Let's not use the 17storey building and be deceived Ncdmb works hard but as an agency if you go through their info on what they do they don't need staff strength of up to 3,000.

When they did the handover ceremony of the building from the company that constructed it to the ES and co, they tweeted it live and some people asked questions and the ES and the agencies twitter handle also replied. The implication I got is that the whole 17stories will not just be used by NCDMB (wetin dem dey do with the space ni). Some of it will be leased/ rented out as they have to make revenue off it. Things like their 1k seater conference room will also definitely be rented out on a steady. So don't use the building as a benchmark to gauge the number of staff they need. It's not like they have offices across all the 36 states.

Also with regards to recruitment process being through merit and connect I've been seeing here. Just to add my two cents. I believe ncdmb is somewhat credible as an agency and will honour both federal character and give some opportunity for merit to take place but don't be deceived na still Nigeria we dey and connect will DEFINITELY be used. Presidency, MPR, a couple other people directly involved and even the ES will have people that they will use connect to give slots to. The only difference I think is that connect usage might not be very intense and mainstream like other agencies mostly because news of the recruitment is not
1) widespread
2) I don't think ncdmb has dabaru yet to the point of selling slots, major key people will just be told to send their people they want employed.
3) I feel lots of people that don't really know what's up look down on ncdmb especially because it's in Yenagoa and it's not loud like other petroleum parastatals so pray all the connect people don't want to move to Yenagoa as it would reduce the pressure and give more space to people on merit

So I believe that merit will still be honoured at least to a decent degree but don't go in thinking that because it's NCDMB connect will not be used to influence it but still don't despair and pray that you pull through and if you have major connect in the petroleum space, goodluck to you.


Me I'm just itching to get it over with (exam and interview) so I can know my fate and move on to other hustle if this one doesn't favour me.

This is for the hackathon though. Technically the job application is closed too and hopefully they have started evaluations also.

Mlayidi:
Evaluation In Progress. I wish you all the very best.

Yes I used yahoo with no issues. Did it once and got the success email.

aachor:
Someone who was just trying to register used two different yahoo mails and didnt get the verification mail both times. But then it worked with gmail. Did anyone use yahoomail withput any hitch?

I just realised that the current ES of the NCDMB's tenure is to elapse by September. Then he'll either be reinstated or a new ES will be appointed. I really hope he plans on finishing the recruitment before that. Often times a change in management of an agency can delay and mess with on going recruitment for a long time. Does anyone have any inside info on when they plan on wrapping the process up and sending APL's. Also when the test will be.

I'm happy that there was an extension so other people had a chance to apply but I really wish it would move fast. I'm eager to know my fate and move on if I don't get it. Me I'm also still curious about their pay and if they give upfront and other allowances too that

I'll appreciate if it can be sent to me too tahreetari@gmail.com thanks

NekkyCee:
Okay. I'll send what I have.

Hi, so I've applied for the oilandgas job listed and it was successful. I live in Abuja and from the advert the role is based in their HQ in Bayelsa if it's ncdmb or PH if it's OGFZA. I don't know if I'll get it or not but I'm hopeful. I guess if it's either agency I'm curious about three things.

1) how much the possible pay will be plus possible allowances. Actual figures will help

2) if it's to work and be absorbed into the actual agency or trained and be left to look for something else.

3) how long the actual recruitment might take before successful candidates can start work. Rumours are that it could take till next year or it could be August/September this year..

I'm really curious about the pay cause I want to know if it's something worth moving to another state for or if I should look for something else (another agency) in Abuja ( I live in Abuja). Then my worry about the time period for the recruitment is because my running rent expires soon so that will help me know whether or not to renew or not.

Please and please, this information will be very helpful to me. Also you can reach me on my mail tahreetari@gmail.com

Thanks for all your help. A new nairalander.
