Bros I don't want to respond to your comments before but I think I av to now so as to clarify some unknown things.

Actually I agree with you that total pay 90k for their trainee, infact Mobil pay less than that but did u know how much dis people receive as salary (basic + allowance) after dere OJT and dey confirm dem, I doubt u know because if you know you wouldn't be saying all dis as dis guys can be paying ur 400k for u monthly. Besides, the certificate dey will give u after the training is a greatest asset that even those that are not employed after the training use the certificate to get better offer in Nigeria and abroad(I know some people dat are not employed by Mobil after the OJT and now dey av gotten an offer in middle east with the certificate dey gave them after the OJT and dey are earning better than dere colleague working with Mobil here in Nigeria.

U said famfa is a small producing company that it is not even among the first four largest indigenous oil producing company in Nigeria... I laughed when I was reading this...i doubt u know much about the production capacity of indigenous producing company in Nigeria...im saying dis categorically because im working with one of the indigenous E&P as an employee. ...pls can u list the first four largest indigenous oil producing company in Nigeria with their daily production capacity in terms of barrels?

I also agreed with you that NNPC have a share (60%) in any production field but with exception to marginal fields but famfa own is a different case which I will explain to u d reason. Did u know dat NNPC will take 60% in any field before development not after development (what I mean is dat if a field is to be developed after confirmation that the hydrocarbon in d reservoir is in commercial quantity, then the licence holder and NNPC will finance the project together according to their qouta 60/40, so its not that the license holder we finance all the project then NNPC will just be collecting 60% like that, which is what happened between famfa and NNPC which lead famfa taking federal government of nigeria to court). After famfa partner with chevron and developed the agbami field then federal government take 60% by force which lead famfa taking federal government to court and in 2012 famfa won the case and the 60% was returned back to famfa. so famfa hold 60% in agbami...60% of 250k barrels in a day u know what dat means...dats what famfa is taking home everyday since 2012 till date.

About famfa salary. ..if you have any chevron staff working in agbami ask him about famfa salary and d person will tell u...im sure u will be very shocked when d person tell you.

You think most of us dont know what we are doing for about to leave our companies for the training. .. I av about 5yrs of experience in oil and gas and im currently working as an employee (staff not contract staff) in one of d indigenous exploration and production company and im ready to join famfa even with a pay less dan 100k during training. Mind you this is experience position not trainee, so anybody dat participated in d training is already famfa staff not dat dey are dropping anybody after the training.

Still waiting for the list of first four indigenous e&p.

Babacha pls don't be angry with me in case you find anywhere in my explanation where u feel I addressed u wrongly...we are all here on this thread to enlighten each other...nobody is highland of knowledge. ..nobody is Mr know all. My explanation is still open for correction.

Thank u all

Just got unconfirmed news that 5 drilling Engineers and 5 HSE (3 Rig safety and 2 FPSO) will be required by famfa pending medicals first week of January. 1 month training and induction

SolutionsGuy:
Decisions are changing often, and I can't get the exact numbers of slots for each category. besides, that will just give you more tension. That I try to avoid. But then HSE is taking "about 2". Much of my last post holds for some other categories.

@babacha, I don't think a company will pay you N400k for chilling in classroom for some months, that will rather be too generous. Although the training will be cut shorter that what was planned originally. That is for production, mechanical and electrical/instr., who will constitute majority of the new employees.

I am here less often. Good luck guys as you get your offers this month (hoping things remain as planned).

Simplemee:
All hopefuls, more invite coming in.. .... .. Refresh ur mail .. ... Just got mine nowww... . Congrats to all invited

SolutionsGuy:
Well, I don't think anyone will be dropped again. Unless you really fall flat on your face in the final assessment which I don't expect based on your performances so far.

That notwithstanding, brush yourself up once again in your field. Recall the qualities and skills that stand you out, show you are on top of your game without displaying arrogance/pride, maintain eye contact. Some people's session may just turn out to be a chat and opportunity to see higher-level people within. You are called because you are needed.

Congratulations to those selected! Hopefully this will be much better than where you are coming from, it feels good to work with an operating company.

To everybody, do accept my best wishes in your endeavours.

Where I dey? I dey around, I know you'll be going for interview in the coming days. Congrats to the invitees, you did exceptionally well in the test especially. It's funny to expect I will come to enumerate what the interview will entail.

However, get yourself prepared on behavioural-based interview method and what you can bring to the table as a "your position". What makes you different from others, is it your training, design, soft skills, etc?

DDE and HSE candidates should expect a more rigorous interview because they are not going to undergo structured training like others but a crash induction. Also there are a few guys from "nowhere" that have joined the competition. So, be at your best!

The only situation that will warrant calling more people is that significant number of those invited didn't show up for the interview or do perform very poorly.
Best wishes!

SolutionsGuy:
Calm down guys. Anxiety will not draw nearer the next stage, neither will it push that further. You will see, you will know.

However, as expected marking is over, approx 200 scripts of mainly multiple choice wouldn't be tough task though. Candidates are being ranked based primarily but not only on test scores. There's a compilation ( don't know if brought to test venue) containing qualifications, bosiet, exp/affiliate, etc. These are weighted with weak bias such that for example Mr A could score 5 points higher than Mr B, but B might be ranked higher for having BOSIET/MSc (for HSE/DDE) or HND for operators/technicians. A couple of guys had PhD though. This method wasn't designed to fail anyone. This exercise was cut out to be highly organized and professionally conducted. Merit is the watchword.

Meanwhile, as indications of the indigenous company in question emerged, people who know people have besieged the company directors pushing for their candidates, even those who didn't take test. Hopefully this will not scuttle the process, at least to a significant level.

As soon as the parties involved conclude arrangements, highest ranking ones would be scheduled for interview/further examinations. Different days for different categories. Successful ones are expected to start Dec/Jan.

I am only privileged to access some information. I do not work for any of the companies and at the same time, I have limitation as to the specifics that I can reveal.

These are current standings and one woman/man can stand and turn around the scenarios at will. So they are not cast on stone.

Good luck everyone. People will be contacted just soon.

tony4u035:
Please, my fellow nairalanders I just want to know if these employers do keep to their words after the interview. Because I went for an interview today and this is exactly what I was told by the employer... (Employer:Can you resume next week if we ask you to? Me:Yes, I can. Employer:Go you will hear from us.
Pleasee I want to know if it has happened to any one here.. And am sure somebody somewhere is presently in this same state of mine at the moment. 'Abeg make una share una experience with me'! Thanks.

Federal government job is good, but if you want to really grow in life, you should be open to taking risk and not just accepting things because of security. A contract job that allows you to have six months of free time is quite rare to come by. Yes, they can sack you at any time, but who says they would? Besides this, take a look at some Federal government retirees, they got so used to the security of their jobs that they did little for their own personal development and soon time passed them by. Remember the power of association? You will slowly start living a mediocre lifestyle because of the type of people within the civil service, Goodluck.

A 16-year-old girl who was declared missing by her father in January this year in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the FCT was found at the weekend at her hometown in Benue State.

The teenager, simply identified as Maria, was said to have been found by her relations in her village who contacted the father who had almost given up hope of seeing his daughter again.

City News learnt that the girl was allegedly lured away from their Kubwa residence to Gwarinpa by a 21-year-old man suspected to be her lover.
A source told our reporter that the girl spent the first two months of her disappearance with the man until he later got a job for her in a hotel where she was receiving a monthly salary of N20,000.

According to the source, trouble however started when the girl stopped receiving salary which she later discovered was being collected on her behalf by the suspect, without her consent.

“She became even more annoyed when she further discovered that her salary was being lavished on other girls by the suspect even when her own immediate needs were not being met,” it added.

City News further gathered that the girl who could no longer condone the excesses of her lover, decided to relocate to her village, rather than going back to their Kubwa residence for fear of the father’s reprimand.

“The girl had already spent three days in the village when her relations realised that she was there without the father’s knowledge of her whereabouts and therefore informed him immediately.

When contacted, the Kubwa Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent Nurrudeen Sabo, said the girl has been brought to Abuja from the village and is currently at the police station following a report by the father on her disappearance from home.

Sabo, who also confirmed that the lover, one Emmanuel John, had been arrested through information provided by the girl, said the matter is being investigated.

Hehehe . . . No one is reporting. How far guys?

Well, I heard that there were approx 40 candidates that sat for each category and they were given EXAMS to write. Initial quick review of the papers shows that candidates performed extraordinarily poorly. Even though marking has not commenced in essence, a category like drilling engineering might not have up to 5 people cross 35%. Good luck guys.
