Fellow APL hopefuls,
having tried so hard to focus on my current job while waiting like d rest of us, I had to place a call to a relative (who by the way is about to made a GM or something like that)..After the usual pleasantries of a nephew calling an uncle, he was genuinely surprised that I was involved in d current recruitment.he asked why I have never mentioned it(cos we have met a few times after my interview) I laughed over it.. (main reason for not telling him is cos this uncle of mine is a stickler for merit and due process as in old school imperial college graduate)
Anyways, from the conversation, I observed he knew more than he divulged(wasnt surprised cos that is him) but bottom line,i got 4 points crystal clear..
1. The recruitment process even though it ran into bottlenecks vis a vis interference from some powers wasn't CANCELLED..infact let me quote him, "the amount of time and money that was invested in the process defeated all arguments from certain quarters for it's cancellation"

2. Yes,there were interferences at d end of the day but to his knowledge, it was very minimal.less than 5percent of total names.in his words, this is d most transparent recruitment process he has seen in his 27years in the system

3. GT list is actually ready but EH isn't entirely ready..According to him, they are still matching them to d different subsidiaries..i asked him how can that be cos I believed every EH from his resume and experience already applied to d positions best suited as advertised which should make placement easy. (eg, my work experience can only fit into NPDC) and his reply..that some subsidiaries may need 3 accountants whereas some may need 10 and most importantly,that some "interferences" also came with a subsidiary of choice.. (meaning some powers came with candidates and also demanded the subsidiary they should b posted to) hence some minor reshuffling

4..Lastly, that APL will come soon.i asked him how soon.. He said he couldn't place a date but it won't pass this last quarter 2019..i probed more and he gave a solid reason for his timeframe.The proforma invoices for the external (non Nnpc) SMEs (subject matter experts) that will be part of the GT training in edjeba has already been approved and the persons have already been notified as to their time schedules which includes this year. I argued dat the budget approved for the proforma invoices could be moved to budget accruals so that the system doesn't retrieve it/and it doesn't affect d next year's budget.. When I said this, he laughed and is like everyone involved in d budget for this recruitment is fighting tooth and nail for it to be concluded this year such that certain inflated figures won't be discovered..
He wished me luck and yabbed me to at least remember to call him if I was shortlisted..

Guys let's be hopeful and keep praying for God's grace last last

Hello Ifylanks,
Thanks for this info. However, going by the normal practice of NNPC allowing prospective employees to have a period of at least 1 month to formally resign from their previous place of work, followed by a 3-week onboarding process which marks the end of the recruitment process. Do you/your uncle still maintain that all these can still be achieved this year? especially as things have lingered.The norm implies that even if notifications come Mid-November. The process would still be concluded in January 2020 and a notification in December means resumption in January and so on. Kindly shed some light on this.
Thanks.

How are we sure that you are not the scammer?

Whose is it?? Did nnpc tell you how much is yours or not? For crying out loud, some people havemt collected a kobo and some got "imcomplete" pay. What have you done about that?? Nothing!! I am not after how much is involved ...it doesn't matter. I still insist things should be done the right way...refund o if you have the money and know who the money is going to...me, I am just wishing I can get my second, third and etc alert

mosgoon:

Okay, if you say so. I have no deep understanding of how such reversals work in the FSI. Anyways it's still a big mess. I personally don't think APLs would arrive this year anymore with these new developments .....the law suit, this now. Everything is just cloudy lol.

The way I see it nobody should or can be held responsible for not returning it. What type of disorganization is this.

larride:
UPDATE!!!

I have been a strong believer that the refund is a scam but today I reached out to a contact.

ITS NOT A SCAM!!!

I shared the account number with him and the first thing he said was “This account is a priority account”. I tried getting info of the account but he refused to share anything with me. He keep saying it’s a priority acct. I explained that people got a text saying they should refund some NNPC double payment to that account and asked if he could help me ascertain if it was a scam. He said “A priority account cannot be used to run scam as it’s mostly used by authorized government officials”.


IT IS NOT SCAM!!!

plot twist, larride is part of the syndicate



On a serious note, every body knows the right thing to do deep in his/her heart, it's just money dey confuse them. Just do whatever makes you sleep comfortably at night .

Who has NNPC twitter handle?.

Hahahaha Sempumping you wan cause wahala abi?
If you are referring to @Danxplore, I don't think he implied that people should not return the money but rather that NNPC should send an official circular through the means we are familiar with so people do not have mixed feelings about depositing the money. I jus hope the dude will not come and derail the thread based on your comment.

This is what happens when federal character is chosen over competence. (It has always been my concern) Well, that's the way it is and will be. Imagine say na APL person distribute like that. Hnmm...

Lol its funny how people are skeptical to refund the money cos they think it may be scam.

Everyone got paid once you got paid twice. I see.

See as una make me rush enter this thread, thinking say APL don drop.....

The problem is not refunding but are you refunding the money to the right channel. I was told from the bank today that the payment was made through an online platform. King or NNPC can easily call these data with simple SQL and send a formal notice to the affected banks.
This issue can be Money Laundry, using some person name to move money from NNPC's account.

Lol. The moniker "Sempumping" sounded so familiar but after going through my antecedents on this thread, I found the reason why.

As for the bolded, I hope not but if it is true that she was referring to me, then I am positive that she must have realised by now how hasty and silly she was.

Nevertheless, I prefare the new version of her because of what appears to be a high aptitude for learning. She is now like an autobot that has been updated with a more sophisticated and state of the art machine learning attributes structured towards learning and adjusting more efficiently from her mistakes. For instance, I discovered she has deleted a soft-pornographic image she once posted on her timeline some time ago. Glad to note that she heeded to my advice on repentance.

Go to any Access bank around you tomorrow and confirm. Polaris cannot confirm account of Access Bank for you.

then you didnt understand my initial message

So nobody has any genuine info from the towers as regards these updates....@CAVALIER ,pls help us...thanks

Dear All,

Until there is an official message from NNPC that you should send money to a particular account, you should not refund anything yet.

There are 3 scenarios,

1. The people in charge of the payment actually committed an error, and are trying to get refunds to clear the balance.

2. There is a money laundering scheme ongoing at NNPC using the TF payment as cover.

3. Some people successfully hacked the database of phone numbers of people that came for interview (list of papers actually), and are trying to scam candidates (when they heard of the error).

.....

Scenario 1.
Truthful Error from NNPC

By the act of the corporation, it is unethical and absolutely not allowed for any staff/contractor to receive any money to a personal account. It is an offence that can lead to imprisonment.

Payment of TF is not a thing done by one Lazarus, or King, there are teams in charge. If they need to ask people to refund, they will use official channel of communication- Emails, SMS (without grammatical blunders), or use banks to place lien on defaulting accounts.

So, you should not send anything yet.

Scenario 2
Money Laundering at NNPC

One of the teams in charge of making payments discovered a loophole and decide to cash in on it. Here is how money is laundered. Send a bulk payment, say like 100m, to several accounts in smaller amounts (to bypass regulatory filters), then send a bulk message to the people to pay to a private account.

This might be from some people inside NNPC.

You should never reply to this request. You might be arrested in the future, if this is discovered by NNPC regulatory.

3. Scenario 3
Database Hack

Some people heard that there are errors in the payment, that some applicants are getting twice and thrice. They quickly hacked into the list of phone numbers. Created an account with the name seen in earlier payments, send a bulk message for people to refund. (Messages from non professional scammers are usually full of errors, like the one you received).

The scammers might actually be insiders in NNPC. You should not respond to the message, be smart and intelligent.


summary
Until there is an official clarification from NNPC saying that - this is the actual amount you are entitled to (do you know?), and that you have been overpaid, you should not respond to the fraudulent messages in circulation.

Regards,

Geektrovert.

apt...very apt. I really don't understand why this is happening in a place like NNPC if at all it's truly from them. This tree is a good standard
