Good day everyone, I urgently need your help to find answers to questions bothering me now.
I have been a part_time Regular Lecturer with a Federal Polytechnic for the past 8 years.
Recently they advertised and invited candidates to fill vacant lecturing positions in the school. The registrar requested my HOD to forward names of part_time lecturers in the dept and he did forwarded my name. Two days later, the registrar requested my phone number from my HOD and was expecting a call but received an invitation to an interview. While I was preparing for Tuesdays 12th to attend the interview, I received a retracted message that the earlier invitation extended to me was in error that he is sorry for the inconvenience.
Please, What really has happend? Am worried.

It’s not your time yet God has a bigger and better plan for you. Trust in God

Thank you for your submission. Though am still working with them I accept my fate

It is not a new thing, those with 'long leg' have taken your position. Keep praying to God, your time will come.

Bro, go there on the said date. Sometimes, it is manipulation. I speak from experience.

Obviously, you have been replaced. Nothing you can't do than keep forging ahead

You can also try the guy above me's advice

First i agree with one of the previous comments, go there on the said date, and if ur name wasn't shortlisted, take it as ur faith, better job awaits you.

Be positive

Go there on the said date of the interview You never can tell...

The thoughts and plan God has for you are of good and not evil to bring you to an expected end. It is well with your soul.

Bro... Don't fall for it.

Pretend as if you didn't get the retracted message.

In fact, if I were you, I would be the first candidate there

Hope you haven't deleted the invitation SMS.
Proceed to your interview with it.

P.S Delete the retraction SMS

Thanks for all your comments. Indeed, nairaland is like a family.
I went to meet my HOD this morning and told him about the retraction message from the registrar. He told me that part-time lecturers who have put in appreciable number of years in the Polytechnic are normally issued lateral conversion notice. That he was surprised I was invited to attend interview with others. Though he could not be 100% certain whether the lateral conversion was the reason I was delisted from the interview, he advised me to see the registrar on Tuesday.
My people, I will take the advise of others and present at the interview tomorrow.
