So just at the end of 2019, the school management launched a new balloting website this year, so the former guides you might have seen do not apply anymore.
The new website for those who want to ballot for themselves is https://accommodation.unilag.edu.ng/ and it would be functional from 7th January 2020 (for returning students) and on 13th January 2020 (for freshers).

I heard this is only applicable to the undergraduate that postgraduate will be done at a different date. How true is this pls?

Kindly add me please 08101092213

Chat me up on 08101092213. I am a freelance research writer.

ESSOHEngineers:
Interesting.
Acknowledging this. Further discussions shall be made privately.
Accept our highest regards on the matter.
Good luck.

Alright. Many thanks.

ESSOHEngineers:
How would you consider/rate your writing skills?

Kindly let us know. Especially on Environmental Impact Assessments and Facility Operational Safety Case. We are in need of mildly teachable persons who can handle some jobs on a freelance basis.

Please you must have above average TECHNICAL writing skills from a descriptive essay approach with the ability to work with little supervision and more of verbal directives. Since you might be working on your own, we do hope you have a personal laptop.

Best regards.

Dear EssoHEngineers,

I understand the question was not directed to me. However, if you need more hands in your organization, I am well equipped to fit in.

I hold a Bachelor degree in Urban and Regional Planning and during my undergraduate study, I took several courses in EIA.

Also, I am presently a freelance writer and I had written numerous reports, research and essays on topics ranging from business, IT, Engineering, EIA among others. If you don't mind, I can send my previous projects/papers to you.

Presently, I am an intern with the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning Board, the agency charged with regulating building developments within the state and also ensure that all proposed developments adhere and conform with the state environmental planning law. As such, I understand the intricacies and requirement neccessary to write an EIA reports that will meet the requirements/specifications of the relevant regulatory agencies.

You can reach me through johnbabatunde1994@gmail.com or 08101092213

Many thanks!

Many thanks for the prompt response.

Since Urban and Regional Planning fall under the purview of Environmental Sciences, that shows I am qualified for the program.

The fee of N90k exclude the acceptance fee right? Is the program one session too?

@chibeze

Do Unilag requires submission of O'level for their Postgraduate admission?

This is because I used two sittings to gained admission for my UG degree while Unilag requres only one sitting.

Great thread here. @Op, continue the great work.

Well, I have a Bachelor degree in Urban and Regional Planning, and I intend applying for PGD in Surveying and Geoinformatics. What are my chances, I mean regarding my eligibility for the program.

Likewise, the PGD Surveying and Geoinformatics programme is how many session/year? And the fee too?

Many thanks for your prompt response.

@Kindhearted, I believe the volume of response received here is enough to choose from. This may sound at little bit selfish, but I am sorry if I hit the wrong cord. Your freelance job, is it a writing gig? I will be interested in relieving you ma.

Alabaintprice:
Biko...
Do not, I repeat. Do not venture into importing mobile accessories with 300k unless you want to loose your money.
Now let me ask you. What knowledge do you have about the business?
Do you know the risk involved in it?
Do you know how much it cost to ship goods to Nigeria?
Which method do you want to use to send your goods down to Nigeria?
Have you compared the landing cost of the goods you intend to buy then comparing them with the price ssold in alaba international ?

As a wholesale in the business in alaba international , I will confidently tell you that if you intend to go into the business with 300k then put it at the back of your mind that you are only bringing in one particular product. You can't use 300k to bring in sonant items. Manufacturers won't take you serious and quantity of goods determine the price you get. Don't mind what you see in 1688. Meet with the manufacturer face to face and see the price difference. If you want to be successful in the business do like every other person. You have to learn it first then raise a good amount for capital to become an importer. Anyone telling you that you can do that is misleading you big time. Learn the business first before any other thing.

Sir, I understand your drift. But the issue is how do I learn the trade? And if I am to intern with anyone already in the business, is 2-3 months enough to know the rope of the business. You also mentioned meeting the manufacturers physically. I thought phone accessories are produced in China, how do I meet them physically in far away China, remember we are dealing with just N300k.

Also, I understand you are already in the business, are you open to tutoring someone sir?

Kindly add me to the whatsapp group. 08101092213

FUTA ALUMNI WIN 10 OUT OF 20 MASTER CARD INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR AFRICA
Ten alumni of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) have done the Institution proud by winning a sizable percentage of the 20 Master Card International Scholarship Award for African students. The Master Card Scholarship Award is an annual competition organized for graduates in sub-Saharan African Countries by Master Card International and winners undertake their Master’s Degree programme at a designated foreign university. This year out of the 20 slots allotted to Africa, Nigeria won 12 out of which 10 of the slots were taken by FUTA students via a competitive assessment carried out by the organisers. The Ten FUTA alumni will proceed to the University of British Columbia (U.B.C.), Canada for their master’s programme. The scholarship covers tuition fees, accommodation, monthly stipends and a return ticket.
An elated Vice-Chancellor, Professor Joseph Adeola Fuwape, while receiving the alumni described them as pride to the University. The Vice Chancellor commended the students saying that their success proved that FUTA has attained an enviable height academically. He said the Scholarship Programme will open more doors of opportunity if they remain focused. Professor Fuwape charged the students to keep the FUTA Flag Flying and be worthy ambassadors of the institution and be determined to distinguish themselves as world class citizens.
He commended Professor Shadrach Akindele, immediate past dean of the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, for facilitating the visit of the scholarship winners and ensuring that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between FUTA and the University of British Columbia (U.B.C.), Canada where the students will be studying.
Responding on behalf of the awardees, Mr. Omoloye James appreciated God and the FUTA Community for creating an enabling environment to make them self- reliant. He said as alumni they will represent the University well in Canada.
The winners include:
Adesokan Goodness Eniola,
Afolabi Tolulope Esther,
Omoboye Adekunle James,
Ubah Mercy Ebere
Ayanleye Samuel Oluwafemi,
Ayetan Olatunbosun,
Alle Adeola
Muniru Oloruntobi
and Akinde Samuel Bolarinwa

Thank you sir.

What is the requirements for joining ISPON either as an associate or full member after their HSE 3 certification? Any writing or oral exam(s), professional pupilage, report submissions etc., not forgetting the cost too.

From the ISPON website, I noticed they focus more on 'health' and 'safety' ignoring 'environment' because they repeatedly refer to themselves as health and safety professionals. Is it that they do not have locus standi in the environmental specialty. Though, they listed Environmental management auditing and Environmental Impact Assessment as one of their core area of competence.

Have, you heard about Nigeria Environmental Society? What is their relationship with HSE?

Many thanks!

@agabusta.

Kindly react to the above sir.

@ OmaniPadmeHum

Thank you sir. I now understand better.

micxwell:
ISPON accepts only it's own GHSE and HSE level 3 alone for registration as a member. The only exception is if you already have a NEBOSH certificate, you may be considered.

Thank you sir.

OmaniPadmeHum:
Please note that there is an almost similar curriculum for HSE Levels 1,2&3. While that of Novelle is appealing, I will advise that you do that of ISPON and pursue your membership. When you get that you can choose to do Novelle's as a refresher any time. Luckily it isn't too expensive (hopefully).

I recommend you do ISPON like mixcwell has said, then maybe Novelle as Refresher, then NEBOSH. Or you do Just ISPON and then go straight to NEBOSH. Recall that the NEBOSH program is wider in scope and a little bit more advanced.

After this, the next thing to ask yourself is if you want to major or specialize or develop strength in any particular area within the HSE Science/Engineering/Management Discipline. Then you develop your self, your profile and qualifications to this area. At this sort of advanced level you can do a lot including consult, teach, invent and patent, work for a company etc. All in all you have the foundation and then the advanced or specialized skills and knowledge.
Good luck.

Thank you sir for the detailed response.

However, I will prefer the Environmental specialty considering by educational background.

I went through the previous pages of this thread, and I
understand that NEBOSH focuses mainly on the 'health' specialty I. e Occupational health, that only IEMA another certification is good for those who prefer the environmental side of HSE.

What is your take? IEMA popularity, visibility, recognition etc. Hope it is well know by HSE recruiting firms or agency.

Because I will prefer the IEMA route after the ISPON HSE 3, or is there any NEBOSH certification that focuses on the environmental specialty?

Nice thread here! Please keep up the good work.

However, what advice can you give a fresh Urban and Regional Planning graduate awaiting service on the best HSE career part to follow.
Though, while in school, I was opportuned to undergo few courses in Disaster Risk management, Environmental Impact assessment and Geographical Information Science, which all fall under the sphere of Environmental management. My undergraduate thesis also centered on Environmental Health.

Also, I stumbled on Novelle site. I got to know that they offers HSE 1, 2, 3 certification courses approved by UK SHE. Based on one of the expert here insistence on joining ISPON/NISP first before going further in HSE career, I wanna ask, is the certificate issued by UK SHE on HSE 1, 2, 3 equivalent to one issued by ISPON and is it recongnise by ISPON (will it be considered when one want to join ISPON in any of their membership cadre).

Personally, I prefer HSE courses toward obtaining UK SHE flouted by Novelle because the course structure is more organised, well structured, globally recognised and a little bit cheap too (it is around $150).

Your advise and reaction pls!

Best regards!

This is an interesting and educative pieces from Babalawo.
I dream everyday even during afternoon nap, but the issue is that I cant remember any of the dream immediately I woke up, no matter how much I try to remember. The issue do bother me sometimes, but since I can do anything about it, I try to take it outta my mind.
@Babalawo, is their any explanation for that?

Best regards!

Until you mention Beere, Foko, Gege, Idi-arere all in Ibadan, the list neva complete

Good!!
Lagos has a more efficient and robust town planning service, at least it is second only to fct-abuja.
Do visit the nearest district planning office.

location?
You can contact the nearest town planning office to complain.
You have a good case because the property in question is meant for residential purpose, that is even if the 'subject property' have a building plan approval.
But you yourself might not last in that house because your landlord will also be affected, whatever the planning office decision.
Your landlord have already contravene the statutory planning law by leasing a property meant for residential uses for public uses.
The said church will be ask to vacate the property else the 'whole' property might be seal.
Pls complain, dont suffer in silent.
Gracias.
