we were just asked to submit and leave..we didnt sign or being stamped is there anything wrong with that

Nothing wrong. The initial directive was applicant should submit, state office sort n sent to headquarters for final shortlisted. The ideal for people asked to write name was just the state office way to keep record. It does not count. How sorting is done is a different ball game n only each state office know how they wld do it. But a strong directive has been sent from presidency follow due process, cos even they can be called how the sorting was done if dust is raised by the public so all is very very careful on the sorting. So relax, let God fight your battle now. You have submitted, deadline end on Thursday. So waiting mode start soon but not too long cos presidency hand dey the matter.

The one that took place in 2014....

oseph Nwabuakwu, a middle-aged social analyst from Aniocha North Local Government Area in Delta State is an optimist whenever there is a discourse on the future of the Niger Delta.


For him, the Niger Delta region may be lagging behind in infrastructure development and other social amenities among the regions of the country, but the future looks promising.


Nwabuakwu’s hope in a better Niger Delta is based on the current efforts of the Niger Delta Commission (NDDC) to turn the tide for the region.


"We can believe a greater future for the Niger Delta, because the NDDC is transforming this region and in no distant future we shall see a greater Niger Delta region. The inclusion of the young people in its development also means it is going to be sustainable,” Nwabuakwu said.


He added: “We have not yet gotten to where we should be, but it doesn't mean we are still curled up where we used to be. The situations we experience in the region can be conquered when all hands are on deck. It involves the coming together of government, major stakeholders and the youth as well. The youth will take the mantle from us some day, so whatever issues or programmes we have should have their interest at heart."


However, for years, unrest-mostly by the young people-has been a major point of discourse on Niger Delta issues. For instance, unemployed youths have been at the centre of many agitations in the Niger Delta that often snowball into criminal activities such as kidnapping and wanton destruction oil installations in the region.


But now, the NDDC has concluded plans to engage 450 Niger Delta youths as part of its youth empowerment programmes.
According to the agency, fifty youths from each of the nine states of the Niger Delta region will be selected by the NDDC to carry-out periodic environmental sanitary services, traffic decongestion and control, clearing of grasses and weeds on the sides of major roads, cleaning and opening up of blocked drainages, security surveillance on oil/gas facilities and installations (pipelines) and other related matters under a special scheme.


Known as Niger Delta Volunteer Scheme, the empowerment programme was created to facilitate a proactive response that will greatly reduce unemployment in the region.


And while the first phase of the scheme will focus on engaging the skills of the youth in environmental sanitation, the second phase will focus on collaboration and cooperation between the NDDC and its development partners with a view to increasing the number of youths under the scheme.


Expectedly, the final phase of the scheme will ensure the young people are provided with opportunities to be employed in highly skilled jobs to enable the programme contributes to the economy of the region in terms of wealth creation and employment generation which is at the heart of Mr. President’s transformation agenda.


Speaking on the relevance of the scheme, the Special Adviser to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Commission on Youth, Sports, Culture, Conflict Resolution and Women Affairs, Mr. George Alabh Turnah, noted that NDDC will continue to intervene in the provision of employment to the youth of the Niger Delta.


He explained the scheme as one that would cut across the Niger Delta against the backdrop of large disparities between indigenous and non-indigenous rates of labour force participation.


"The scheme will substantially intervene in the continuing high level of indigenous youth unemployment considering the first and second phases as of the proposal. It represents a significant intervention by the Niger Delta Development Commission in the areas of employment generation and wealth creation for the region and promotes the Commission as caring, responsive and focused on tackling the plight of unemployment in the region with the employment generation value of the first and second phases of the scheme put at ten thousand," Turnah said.


Turnah is convinced of the unanimous support being given to the programme by the Bassey Dan-Abia-led NDDC management to bring smiles to the faces of youths in the Niger Delta under the scheme.


"It is the hope of the Managing Director/CEO that the volunteer scheme will provide multiple benefits for young people in the region where employment options are otherwise limited. The 450 Niger Delta youths participating in the scheme will earn a monthly stipend as a form of support to enable them give their best to community development in the region and in particular for their productivity.”


Also their efforts are advanced to further train and exposed them to the best skills available in their chosen areas of specialisation in line with the capacity building goal of the Bassey Dan-Abia 3point agenda of the NDDC," he announced.


Also speaking, the Chairman, Niger Delta Youth Leaders Council, Ebis Orube, said the new scheme by NDDC to help the unemployed youths in the Niger Delta was a laudable programme that would go a long way in reducing social vices associated with youths as a result of idleness.


He said: "I just hope it will accommodate as many as possible youths and at the time become a programme that will be sustainable. So, I advise that they involve those that are really in need of job in order for them to have a means of living and not on political considerations.


On other youth empowerment programmes designed by the office of the Special Adviser on Youth to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NDDC, he added "I believe that these programmes will take care of most of the youths. NDDC is just one of the federal government agencies in the region. i urge the other federal government agencies too, to develop youth empowerment programmes just as NDDC is doing and in doing that, most of our youths will be taken care of."


Former National President, Niger Delta Youth Movement (NDYM), Mr. Godspower Odenema on his part, said the programme is a welcome initiative as it has the propensity of not only meaningfully engaging the Niger Delta’s jobless youths, adding that it will also give impetus to the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan.


According to Odenema, “I am quite happy that the MD/CEO of NDDC, Barr. Bassey Dan Abia, is at the verge of transforming the Niger Delta into an economically prosperous, socially stable and politically peaceful region with this programme. The Niger Delta Volunteer service scheme will surely resolve many knotty problems inherent in the region.”


The NDDC, he said, has done very well in starting a programme that will take some youths off the streets. This will reduce the problem of youth restiveness in the region and promote stability and peace in the area


“It is my opinion that the federal, states and local governments should evolve similar programmes that will substantially take our jobless youths from the streets. The other youths not immediately affected by this progromme will definitely be hopeful that their time will soon come and so will be expectant. Sustainability of this and other programmes will be the much needed opium required to solve this chronic problem,” Odenema added.


Since Dan-Abia’s appointment as the NDDC Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, he has initiated several schemes equip and empower the youths of the Niger Delta communities. As part of efforts to restore the Niger Delta environment from a devastating damage caused by a succession oil spills by oil companies over five decades, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) trained of one hundred and thirty five (135) youths on management and remediation to enable them clean up the affected areas.


Speaking at the commencement of the workshop, Dan-Abia noted that first oil spill management and environmental remediation training organised by the NDDC in Akwa Ibom State, urged the participants to take all they will be taught serious in order to build their capacity which he said is for their own interest and the interest of the Niger Delta.


The NDDC boss disclosed that the training was necessitated by the growing need for home-grown professionals who can attend to the needs of the society especially oil spillage which is a predominant occurrence in the region.


Speaking further, Dan-Abia also noted that the training which is the first in the series of oil Spillage management training has a total of 135 trainees drawn from the nine member states that make up the NDDC will provides strategic support, advice and specialised skills to the participants.


Dan-Abia who also reaffirmed the commission's resolve to consolidate on building the capacity of youths in line with his three-point agenda for development of the Niger Delta region, stressed that time has passed when Niger Deltans will depend on other people to take up oil spill cleaning jobs which youths in the area can do better, if effectively trained.


Director Mosilo Global Services Limited, Mr. Moses Siloko Siasia who is the consultant facilitating the training however, urged the trainees to be of good behaviour conduct and take advantage of every learning opportunity that may arise within the training period, adding that his company will engage those who show excellence in character and learning.


The programme which lasted for seven days, Siasia posited included classroom and practical sessions with resource persons drawn from relevant sectors such as health, safety and environment, engineering as well as legal practitioners with expertise in the oil, gas and allied sector.

No doubt, since the commencement of these schemes by NDDC and other schemes initiated by the federal government, crisis around the Niger Delta area believed to be carried out by the angry Niger Delta youths have decreased.

So it's a yearly stuff?

Btw, when i travelled down to submit mine yesterday, the crowd i saw was a very big intimidation to me. Imagine Akwa Ibom state where people think all are rosy, more than 5000 people were there to submit application. The NDDC staff even had to close their office and forced everyone outside when they couldnt contain the frightening crowd any longer inside their office premises. What a country! Unemployment/underemployment has eaten so pathetically deep into this country, or are we saying all those people there are gainful employees somewhere and still came to submit applications for this obviously low level job NDDC opened? If you ask me, i think unemployment is out of control in this country. Well, anyhow anyhow, i struggled with other mad dogs/applicants and submitted mine (even though life could've been sniffed out of me during the struggle as i couldnt breath again while i left with stained clothes/shoes after the struggle). I had to even pay N20 to staple the envelop since it was rejected on the ground that it wasnt stapled. Imagine, just ordinary stapling! I've done my part and leave the rest to God.

But this training would be different from other, both package and incentives and knowledge. So relax, you part is done. Let God do the rest.

I suggest "state of emergency" be declared on unemployment in this country. The situation is so pathetic and it's getting worse by the day. Imagine me, since i finished my ND programme, i've been roaming in search of jobs (even contract or internship) to keep body and soul together pending when to resume for my degree programme, but till this very minute, nothing has come up. It's well even though it seems not.

O boy, the negative health effect that comes with it no be small o. Oil spill containment causes so many deformities in living things both plants and animals. In human, it can cause genetic disruption such that you may end up not being able to impregnate your wife or causes some deformities in your offsprings due to the disruption in gene. Like the bath the other day that was carrying the face of a horse, such could be as a result of genetic disruption by oil spill.
Just google effect of oil spill containment on human.
