Asking a question and answering it at the same time, a king, I Stan!
You smart �

Lol.. Bro, if you look at it very carefully, you will observe that I am referring to the Nigerian factor in which to can't be certain of anything you think you know unless you know (insider). Abi, you never see where dem employ a physics graduate to do a job meant for a chemistry graduate? Na naija we dey o
So my question isn't out of place

xfire:
Thanks for sharing that again..

Was searching through some of my documents today and stumbled upon the NNPC Corporate Policy and Procedure Guide that was given to us during orientation.

It is a very detailed manual that talks about everything associated with NNPC including benefits/ entitlements, training, conditions for leave of absence, working hours, recruitment process ( shortlisting, interview types and panel composition for different grade levels, criteria for success, etc), specific kinds of jobs for each grade level, loans, long service award, secondment to IOCs...name it.

Quite interesting..

@ Oga xfire, I hail thee!!. Please I will like to ask a question, hoping you can help with some clarification if you have an idea about it. It is regarding your earlier post about posting after training. You said posting was mostly based on vacancies and thus discipline, that most chemical engineers were sent to refineries, petroleum engineers to NPDC and accountants to almost anywhere.

My question is aside from the fact that we all know the recruitment is based on the state quota system of the FCC rules, does NNPC usually require that the recruitment produce a specified number of recruit per discipline depending on the vacancies you earlier mentioned? say for example 30 mechanical engineers, 40 electrical, 50 pet engineers e.t.c. From your time what was the trend like in terms of spread of recruits as per discipline, emphasis on G.T

We know in big companies, that is normally the case but NNPC na government company, anything fit happen

Thanks you as always

simplebb:
I posted here days ago on this same subject.

Why would I expend/be expending so much energy on a job I would 99.9% or 100% reject and even be everywhere on the job thread bothering myself with issues as regards the recruitment.

If you know you won't 100% take up a job, then you won't even be here at all, or would check the thread once in a bluemoon just to know what's going on with those that are interested in it, definitely as a low key follower.

This doesn't conform to logic.

But then, what do I know

This thread lost its sanity after the interview with so many unrelated and unneeded information, baseless theories here and there...

The arrival of APL would really help in restoring it.

My brother you are right o.
I applied for Dangote refinery last year and I got to the third stage, thereafter I received another offer that is equally rewarding if not more, from then on i almost completely forgot i applied in the first place neither did I even bother for any info regarding the what to expect from next stage until I saw a text message to come for the next round and I just smile.
Make I here say I know I won't take up the NNPC offer and am still here commenting and hoping for update everyday. I can check the thread time to time sha like you rightly said. It just like someone who didnt pass the CBT and is still actively commenting instead of worse case scenario observing when there is nothing in it for him/her.

But las las we are all different and that was why I wanted to know his motive, maybe it just for fun or to add to his accolades

Gbriels:
Do u want me to say...u have low self-esteem or being jealous or envious...?
Choose one, cos that's what dudes with the aforementioned traits have to say each time they quote...
U can't be more right

, bro, if others were to be like me there would be no such talk about anybody's personality here because I don't care about what anybody claim to be or not as it doesn't affect my chances of NNPC APL.
So even if you tell me you were part of the Apollo mission to the moon with NASA due to your brilliance, it doesn't matter to me and I only note what you have told me, believing you is another thing and that would only be if I have met you physically and proven it to me

ChasteGhuy:
Bros, leave matter for Mathias jare...

Lol ,... Bros, me just dey wonder oh cause if i have bigger offers and am seemingly not interested in the outcome of this recruitment regardless of whether I was interviewed or not, I bet you I would hardly comment let alone make my self the subject matter and I know more than 90% of us would do same. But it is perplexing for some one to say he is sure of not taking up an offer, yet he is always on the thread wanting to know when the outcome would be out and even making himself a subject matter. Any rationale human being would begin to wonder to what end?

Even in the case of Oga jarus that has let us know he may not take the offer, it is understandable why he still comment time to time and that's partly because of his career coaching job which would definitely make him interested in the outcome. I doubt he would even bother himself to comment if he had no interest whatsoever let alone make himself the subject matter. In short I am pretty sure 99% of us here wouldn't even bother to comment if we aren't going to take up this offer and having something higher as our target.

mosgoon:
No need to worry as I would 100% not be among NNPC's next GT recruits. Me giving out the LOMS was to help people scale through MBB as I recognized the interview flaws

Lol. Then I guess it safe to say you are only here to have fun because it is expected that a guy like you with so much going forward wouldn't have much time to bicker over something whose outcome he isn't interested in. Although I know we are different but I know many people wouldn't bother checking and commenting on this thread regularly if they ain't interested in the final outcome and even if they do, it might be intermittently and on a very low key. This would want to make me know your motive on this thread given that you are indifferent to the final outcome

Ladyjane5657:
Nice wan.... Ur tits and tats are still in tact! In fact in all honesty... I choose not to believe anything until the 5th set of interviewees have been paid..

Ps! my posts are based on Informations ... I haven't yet arrived at any conclusions... So Iam a supporter of No theory..until then...


Enjoy my garnished Ewedu sauces

Yes ma'am and you are appreciated for your info. I don't think it good the way some guys bash people who bring info here simply because they dont agree or it unfavorable to their position (i.e alertee or non-alertee) and I would implore you not to be deterred. As for me all Info's are noted and welcomed until proving otherwise by reality.

Black11:
I am sure you haven't been paid

On the contrary, I was glad to receive my TFare, it came in handy . At the moment, me and NNPC now na 1-1. Although NNPC na the koko but some of us have taking up lesser lucrative offers which would mitigate against any feeling of disappointment in the event of an unfavorable outcome. So for me it better i play draw than lose 2-0 to NNPC
If the the Tfare was compensation, no wahala. Life goes on and boys would make it whether in NNPC or not, God's willing.
Cheers

Ladyjane5657:
Another hot one....another sauce... From PH refineries tho... ( no be towers for AbJ... Quote me well)

Sis called and told me not to pray for Alert o ( whereas local woman has been begging God for it) cox a HR lady she asked had told her the pattern of payment was some sort of selective measures... Abeg no crucify me o... Na information ah dey pass so... Truthfully
( I have been an ardent believer and crusader of NO CORRELATION BTW APL AND ALERT)..

So right now all I want is my Apl .. Alert can come later...

PS: don't quote me or the hanty that called me, quote the HR hanty that gave her the info...

I'm off...Lemme keep sourcing for more sauces... It must be served HOT!

Thank you for your info. If your sauce is correct, one would believe there should have been a massive pay out of people from all date leaving just a few behind but till now some dates have not witness such. On a second thought, what would NNPC gain by not paying
all. But this is naija and anything is possible

ChasteGhuy:
e b like say Wadume applied too

, you wan scatter NNPC be that o. Hilarious

Jarus:
It is statistically impossible except my grandmother, my mechanic and my gateman also applied.

. I thought as much too, boss

Well, bro, I am not arguing the 26 million figure with you. Just trying to juxtapose the figure with the recent press release of NYSC wherein they said over 4 million Nigerians have taking part in the scheme so far and giving the fact that requirement for application was stringent. But of course I knew even people who weren't qualified applied i.e some guys with 3rd and 2nd class lower and even HND without masters, also remember for G.T you must have graduated from 2014 upwards. But statically it is possible given our huge population and unemployment rate although I doubt it true.
Alas it doesn't matter at stage, me and you are already here and I pray we all get in.
Cheers

Ladyjane5657:
2 months that was used in screening 26 million applicants....

Right now... We are barely 10 thousand... If they wanted the APL out under 1 month, nothing would have stopped that... They have all the equipments needed for fast action.

And right on the spot ( interview), an interviewer makes his/ her decisions to employ or not employ a particular invitee... The only little time needed is just to filter excesses based on some specifications.

In my opinion, this Stuff is taking longer than needed and nothing will explain that if not the feared manipulations from external sources...

But then, they can take all the time they need in the world.. My own is ,nobody should touch my APL oo

Lol... I wonder where you guys get this stat of 26 million applying for this recruitment when NYSC gave a report the other day that the total number of Nigerian's that have taking part in the mandatory service scheme is just over 4 million since inception in 1973. Abi even secondary schools grad apply , anyway it is not important at this stage.

Iyajelili:
When were you guys interviewed that you think you should have been called for collection of APL? Has it even be up to 2 months?

Bro I wonder o. Na so our blood dey hot reach. Most recruitment that I know about the last stage before the release of APL is sometimes the most protracted not to talk of a government organization.

furrr:
2nd make Una answer now
Abi na only me remain
Abeg for the sake of sanity make Una answer
Before I attribute my non payment to error

Where did you attend your CBT? I think it depends on CBT center and date of interview then maybe time of interview. My guess is they having gotten to the page you wrote your account details which would likely contain names of people whom you had interview together with within the same time and also from same CBT center

ademmy102:
Bro's, leave that story... I applied for DPR 2016 and 99.9% of those they later got the appointment letter did not even applied for the job online. You talk as if you just finish school.

Your submission could not be far from the truth. The only reason a government company like NNPC may want to employ some folks on merit is just because of the nature of the industry they are whereby they need brilliant and highly motivated workforce to keep them afloat in a competitive industry. But despite this fact don't you see how NNPC lag other NOC's or IOC's due to corruption and nepotism.
It just like PTDF, we are only fortunate to see few intelligent children of poor Nigerians benefit from it because of the need to justify the huge investment by fund which they know is only sharp guys from poor background would work hard to justify by doing exceeding well in their study country. However, despite this, you still find that the process is not entirely on merit.
My brother, my point is any juicy position or benefit a poor man enjoys in this country is only because the elite completely had no choice if not there would be nothing like merit o. Merit fire! , . That is why you don't even hear of some juicy agency recruiting.

Dbowline:
What a guy? Still haven't learnt to speak less,

I do understand the point you are trying make. I have also come to find out that it all personality. Some intelligents dudes believe in selling themselves where ever they are that is why they tell every one who cares to listen about their achievement, while you could also see some brilliant folks who like to stay anonymous and let their achievement speak for them. Either way it depends on what they aim to achieve and their inherent nature.
I know of a very brilliant and very nice lecturer who would tell you that aside from allowing your achievement speak for you, that you also have to sell yourself for the opportunity to connect, get referrals and stuff like that. So If you look into it, you would see that there two side to a coins

CircleOfWilis:
The king haf kee me...why me....12k

Lol... , do you now belong to the every one would get paid theory?
Very funny thread

souljar:
Well like you said, nnpc just got approval from NHIS... they will hire more people

, bro. You must be a comedian. Hahaha

souljar:
Hahahaa... I just joined the "Everyone will be paid" gang...lol

, very hilarious. It is clear that as the days goes by more and more people are getting paid. I tend to agree with the submission of Mr Aidelomo above about the payment arrangement.
If you are a non alertee and most candidate from your center and interview date have been paid, the same way you may want to feel special is actually how you should also be a little worried that may be after vetting something went wrong and of course you know the rest .
Las las though I don't think there is any correlation between the two

Robocorp:
GMD that even paid Courtsey visit to president Buhari alongside the NITDA DG and the EFCC boss on the second day of sallah. Which mecca is that guy even referring to, Abi there is a city called mecca in Nigeria now.

Exactly bro. Maybe he is referring to the former GMD. Lol

Tjayelbee:
Lol!
Which trip to Mecca? To what end are you doing this?

FYI, the GMD was in Maiduguri for Sallah, paid a courtesy call on the Governor on the 12th of August. Came back to Abuja same day.

Stop, please!

He even paid sallah homage to Buhari in company of some other dignitaries. So I wonder where this Mecca news is coming from.

donifez:
Oga you quoted the wrong dude simple. From my reply to Black11, Robocop is not who you should quote. He just clarified a misconception about the word "automation" being only Engineering related. As I said earlier, I.T is a global skill and its application is crawling into different fields. An I.T guy might or might not know about the fundamentals of Refinery. A geologist might or might not know about let's say Networking. As Humans we learn what we think we will need.

For the advice about quoting people out of context, I think you need that lesson more. Cheers.

Bro.. That why I said you weren't following the trend of our conservation. Naturally I don't like dragging issues but I felt I should bring it to your attention and others on this tread because most times this is what bring about unnecessary argument here. If I hadn't understood the line of thought of the guy you said I quoted wrongly, trust me I wouldn't have and perhaps if you really did follow through comments, you would realize that the guy 'RoboCop' which you said I quoted wrongly made mention that he earlier made similar submission about more slot for I.T guys and was almost Lynch which suggests that he may also have similar conviction.
But anyway thanks for trying to correct me even though I feel you didn't really understand the basis of my comment.
For the record am only still mentioning this because I would love to see every one on this platform exercise due diligence before jumping into a conversation. Sometimes a comment you see at page 50 may have it precedence from an interaction that started at page 40 in which if you didn't really take your time to digest may lead to wrong assumption.
Finally! May APL of NNPC and even better organizations fall on all of us (Amen)
Cheers bro!

Black11:
Guy calms you joined that conversation halfway

My oga, no mind some dudes here, they just join conversation without following the trend and try to make you look like you don't know what you are saying while in actual sense na dem no grasp.

donifez:
You guys just quote a post and write a different story. Where in his reply did he mention that they will employ more IT guys than Engineers? He simply said automation is also IT related. So you think knowing a Programming language is all it takes to be an IT guy? Let me laugh.

Programming is like a horse to a Calvary soldier, It is good you know it but you also need a shield, fighting skill and a good brain to make second order thinking. With institutes springing left and right teaching different facets of IT, why won't guys from other courses delve into IT.

They are simply delving into it because it is lucrative. The job market is saturated, so they try to immerse themselves with a global skill which we can say ICT is at the vanguard.

Surely, NNPC will employ more Engineers, there is no dispute to that.

Oga obviously you are the one who just quote people out of context. It better you appropriately follow the trend of discussion before you jump into it and also strive to have a grasp of one's comment before you rush to rebuke them.
For the record, no one can say specifically which specialization or discipline would have more slot than others in this recruitment unless of course you are privy to the process which was what my comment was trying to address and the fact that I quoted that guy is because he had a similar line of thought about I.T graduate having more slot.
And I repeat I.T is for everyone regardless of what you studied because it has application in every field however as someone who studied an I.T related course you may have little or no knowledge about fundamentals of other disciplines such as understanding the physical and chemical processes involved in let say a refinery.

Robocorp:
Automation can come in different forms depending on what is to be automated, and not all automations are engineering specific. When people talk automation this days, they are most of the times actually referring to IT

Lol.. So does NNPC now needs more expert in I.T than Engineering? I don't think so. You guys seems to forget that I.T is for everyone and there are specific application of I.C.T in terms of computer software and programs for each industry which doesn't require you to have a degree in any I.T related course before you can be an expert. There are lot of guys that didn't study any I.T related course and are gurus in programming and other I.T sector.
In short some have even left their core discipline and are working in I.T sector doing better than those who even study I.T related course. On other hand, if you study any I.T related course, you would (let me not say never) rarely have deep understanding of chemical or mechanical processes and operations needed for the oil and gas sector.
In a nutshell, you can only conclude that there are more slot for I.T than others if only you have statistical evidence of the vacancies that needs to be filled or maybe new departments have been created which needs more I.T related graduate.
It just like someone coming here to tell you GOOGLE needs more mechanical or chemical engineers in their advertised vacancies without any evidence to back it up. It is highly unlikely , ,

So las las, weather they need just one person from your field or not. The prayer is to be the chosen one.
Cheers

See the companies you're mentioning. Please, don't forget to advise people on the course of study. If you go and do a PhD even in Harvard in an occupation that is not so much in demand, you may not find the PhD venture as rewarding as conceived. If check most of the success stories being shared, they are in ICT related fields. [b]For example, I doubt if anyone would rush you if you go do a PhD in civil engineering at Harvard. [/b]Some of these fields of specialisations have gone full circle. In other words, they have been fully developed and the knowledge is now everywhere. ICT is a relatively evolving field of specialization and it is gaining application in virtually all sectors of human endeavour. This is while jobs are easy for these guys. Let's be mindful of the choices we make sha. Let's not use the success stories of one or two persons around to make conclusion and advise people. Intact, I think there was a survey in the US that established that a large number of PhD students tend to think that stress and financial commitment is not worth it. You can Google and check it out.

, .. Don't let civil engineering guys come after you o. They will tell you how many construction companies will flock you after studying civil

Mitocyan:
I have some people in my company that earn as much as 15m per annum, relatively secure job if you think of it. And they keep telling me that their major regret is not leaving for masters abroad when their peers were leaving. They have worked upwards of 10 years. They say it is because they can't boast of a quarter of the things those peers have archived by now, financially. Plus the future of their children. They never expected that things would get so bad in this country. They keep advising me that if I have any scholarship opportunity for masters abroad I should leave before age passes me by that there's no much future for we the young ones in the company. Some even have side businesses that give them additional income so don't think they are mediocres.

You do have a point and that is why I said it a personal thing. I know if you have the opportunity to study in a good university abroad and you are good, definitely opportunities would come your way after your studies, but at the same time, if you decide to stick with NNPC as against any foreign scholarship, it all fine too because am sure after 3 years or so, you can always go back to school for masters or PhD which I don't think would be too late. I know someone who turned down fully sponsored Australian government PhD scholarship for DPR last year. I believe he can get another scholarship when ever he decides to back to school. So for me it a personal choice, but please note if you get PTDF scholarship to U.K except may be Germany and NNPC gives you an offer, I will advice you stick with NNPC. My two cent though.

[quote author=Moham553 post=81211173]I have full sponsorship from PTDF for a 2 year masters program, I wonder if nnpc would let me conclude if I start the course before the list is released? Any input will be appreciated please I’m in a conundrum regarding the next step. [/quote
I think it has to do with your personal choice. I know someone who is in his third year of PhD in the U.K under PTDF scholarship and he attended this interview for EH hire. I even know another person who is on his way to start PhD by October under same scholarship and waiting on NNPC GT list to decide. So it a personal decision I guess, some people prioritize getting secured jobs over PG scholarship and you can't blame them given how difficult it is to get good secured jobs this days while others desire getting PhD at young age believing that better opportunity would come ahead. As for me, if I were you, I wouldn't think twice if NNPC calls me. You can always do your master's and PhD at any time and if you desire to lecture you can go class at a later stage in your career. It just my two cent though.

My sauce told me to tell you guys that tomorrow is Friday.

, tell your sauce we know that already. Very hilarious

congratulations to all shortlisted scholars. those going to China am sure apart from doing the country proud academically, some of you will also explore business opportunities � � �.

remember Google Translator will be handy during your early stay.

AW much does ptdf pay her fgc scholars. China uses RMB not dollars... How will dey pay China guys and wats the range

no one can tell for now cause it seems this will be the first time Ptdf will be sending guys to China. but am sure what ever they give should be very OK. they take into account the cost of living index of where you will go in deciding your stipend. a friend of mine who went to US told me his stipend is about 1300 dollars equivalent to about 1000 pounds. so you can see it not so far off from the stipends of those in UK.

if you do a rough check on China u will discover you need close to that amount to live comfortably there, I.e, about 8000 RMB which is about 1000 pounds.
