Come to think of it they're the ones on the streets of Abuja protesting for real-time transmission of results.
So what are they bringing to the table for Nigerians

Let’s bust a common myth in Nigeria: oil and gas jobs aren’t just for engineers!

Sure, we often think of Petroleum, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineers when we talk about this industry, but that’s far from the whole story.

There are plenty of non-engineering roles making waves in the sector, including:

- HSE Officer
- Procurement Analyst
- Logistics Coordinator
- Document Control Officer
- HR Business Partner
- Contracts Administrator
- Finance Analyst
- Supply Chain Officer
- Community Relations Officer
- Compliance Officer
- Operations Scheduler
- Quality Assurance Officer

Many of these positions offer salaries ranging from ₦400k to ₦900k monthly, depending on the company and your rotation schedule.

What’s crucial to understand is that it’s not just about your degree. It’s all about how you leverage your background.

For instance, a Microbiology graduate can easily transition into an HSE role.
A Business Administration grad might find a great fit in procurement, while someone with an Accounting degree could step into project finance support.

The oil and gas industry is much more expansive than many Nigerians realize. The secret lies in knowing the right pathways and positioning yourself effectively.

I’ve put together detailed strategies that successful candidates have used to make these transitions. If you’re curious about how to navigate this, feel free to reach out!

What about someone that studies languages or history?

Unserious set of people! Religious people without piety and holiness.
They kill
Rape
Embezzle
Kidnap
Commit all sorts of criminality and yet claiming followers and lovers of God. !

Elzazzi:
Obi has been donating to schools and health institutions even before he became governor. You can go verify. Lol

And others haven't been doing, same? Something is wrong with you guys reasoning!

I think the main resistance is from Atiku because of the indirect voting that had been expunged since buying of delegates had been eliminated!
These Direct method to me o,is to the advantage of the parties because it will enable them penetrate the grassroots/wards!

Unfortunately people like Sowore will never rule any part of Nigeria, if his energy is just to embarrass public office holders!
He's pained that's He's being held down in Nigeria with continue holding of his traveling papers.
So his tactics remains embarrass them, they'll let you go!
Trust Tinubu, he won't bulge until Sowore is put to shame! Sise, sise

There's no any bad omen. The opposition they feigned to represent is nothing but a fluke. ! Who pays attention to them?

Filipy:
My instinct told me you aren't real.

Working towards the bid if scamming people.

Be advised and warned.

Is it because of asking for DM?
I actually followed him, because of my experiences, seems he's a #career-coach !

grandstar:
Not all jobs depend on connections, or the poor would never get jobs.

Many times, companies do want competent and qualified people for jobs, and not just crony based hiring.

Thats why companies only hire those with a 2:1 or higher. Thats why an ICAN or masters can open up for you or how many years of experience.

A class mate of mine who was from an humble background got work in an oil company after graduation.

You're correct, remember when I was invited for an aptitude test by Chevron Texaco after NYSC around 2005 ,I tried contacting someone i knew but he said-if I have all what required, I will get in. I study statistics, during interview they were asking for some industry qualifications/certifications ,which I don't have in a compliance role!

qleap2all:
A lot of Nigerian graduates hold a common belief about the oil & gas industry:
“If you don’t have connections, you might as well forget it.”

But that story is starting to shift.
In the past 18 months, a number of young Nigerians have quietly made their way into the oil & gas sector without any influential backers, without a decade of experience, and without political connections.

Yes, one can get into the oil and gas sector without connection but one must have the right information and expert guide

Take Peter, for instance. He’s a Mechanical Engineering graduate who wrapped up his NYSC in 2023. After 11 months of focused applications and enhancing his certifications, he secured a contract role with a servicing company, raking in over ₦750,000 a month offshore.

Then there’s Ada, who studied Microbiology—not engineering or anything petroleum-related. She’s now thriving in HSE compliance for a midstream firm in Port Harcourt.
According to recruiters we chatted with, the key factor wasn’t “connections.”

It was all about positioning. What They Did Differently!

They didn’t just send out a bunch of applications randomly. They didn’t rely on generic CVs.

Instead, they targeted specific companies with clear entry pathways. They grasped the ins and outs of contract opportunities.

They strategically positioned their certifications.

One recruiter pointed out: “Most candidates apply without a plan. The few who understand how hiring really works stand out right away.”

Sure, the oil & gas sector is competitive. But it’s not as out of reach as many people think.

There’s a roadmap available—but most folks are just guessing.
After examining successful entry stories and looking at hiring trends across various firms, I’ve put together a practical guide on what truly works for Nigerians aiming to break into the industry today.

If you’re serious about making your mark in oil & gas without relying on luck or connections, feel free to send me a DM. I’d be happy to share more insights!

Yes one can get into the oil and gas sector without connection but requires having the right information and expert advice or guide. Thanks, for the enlightenment.

ADC na serious party, look at their leaders bunch of angry politicians because they're no longer in government, liars of the highest order!

Lowest quality of life in 2026?
We're still in February, 2026, now!

Don't she have his address in Sokoto State? Mama should check the correctional offices closest to her!

Please is FCT,Abuja a Christian state?
I could see 4 Christian names and other 2 ,Muslims!

Wike the FCT minister was seen moving from pooling unit to unit to intimidate,how and just one person at a polling point reported this?

What do you expect to hear, were it been the opposition that wins, all these negative narratives won't be forthcoming!
An election that reports says peaceful with low turnout is now being discredited.!

With the work (infrastructure) APC/Wike did in Abuja i will be surprise to see them lose!
As usual losers will still shout #Rigged!

All these narratives isn’t holding. The presiding officers had always upload in the open, so it's a variable event!

I doubt if Peter Obi or Atiku can face these oil cabals parading as unionist!

hush15:
Nonsense, money he never released for 3years abi billions just appear from nowhere. They is Noone that man cannot buy besides himself....

For 3 years, May 2026 will be his 3rd year and this had been there, ever before APC government!
I beg, it's a commendable deed!

Anything the FGN does now, will be termed as campaign or buying votes or whatever! Must governance be stalled because of politics?
I don't understand what manner of people occupied these country!

The Chairman will recognise the Governor going by "Governor is the leader"

Krankhead:
98% of people in that rally can't vote in the election including Obi himself because they are not registered indigent of Abuja

You meant registered voters!

What's the big deal in holding a political rally? The same crowd will still come out to vote for their choices after witnessing all political rallies!

Kukutente23:
If what you write here is the case then I withdraw my allegations against you
But you should still know that MTN making strategic business decisions has nothing to do with whoever is in govt.
Ascribing MTN's strategic acquisition to Tinubu reeks of sycophancy at best or brainwashing at worst case
Thanx for your time

Peace. Nigeria is a great nation and I am a proud Nigerian. God bless The Republic

Kukutente23:
Even under abacha so many good things were happening
Under OBJ and Jonathan marvellous things were occurring. This MTN came under OBJ. Dangote refinery started under GEJ
Did it stop your kind from being vile and hateful towards both govts calling them all manner of derogatory names?
Zombie shift!!

Oh ! I can see you took me for that average Nigerian who lambasted government for not just cause or without deep insight?
It might interest you to note that since return to democracy in 1999 ,I had been supporter of government (my civic and constitutional rights) as a patriotic citizen, to shock you, I actually authored a book (sold on Amazon.com) and actually dedicated to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan ,and another one to President Tinubu (on Amazon.com, too) .
So Mr Zoombie, I'm not anti government, I don't abuse, attack but I critic when necessary and acknowledged their good deeds at the right time! All is not about negatives!

Kukutente23:
Nobody made Buhari a yardstick
What I'm pointing out to you is that businesses make strategic decision based on SWOT and risk- benefit analysis and not based on who is in govt as you zombiecally think
So you don't even know that MTN reached the trillion naira mark under Buhari
Mtcheew getaway joor
Ignorant zombies everywhere

Still same point, in this same Nigeria you guys says, it's finished, it has failed so good things can come out-it's MTN yesterday, Dangote today and it could be you tomorrow, if you're positive about your country for once! Peace unto you

Which people are you choosing; it could only be people of your same!

Is there any crime in that? It's either yes or no to their proposal!

Trust Sahara Reporters to add their own !
We have heard 5pm- 1am.3am and now 4am whereas reports says the governor was there 2am!

Where did he get the money from, hope it's not iam thinking? Congratulations
