Pls where’s the center for Abuja. I live in Abuja and I am receiving Lagos as center for aptitude test.
Same issue here,
I live in northeast and am seeing lagos as my aptitude test. I will spend nothing less than 500k for the test cuz i can only travel to lagos with flight. I am already in the banking industry but not first bank. Why cant they have a centre atleast in Abuja?
Now I am contemplating, is it worth the trouble just for aptitude test.

Stop being arrogant and trying to massage your ego. I won’t try to enter where I already belong. I’ve gone through some of your posts, and I can tell you that I’ve always been a strong fan of the private sector. I’ve worked there , in telecoms power, and banking before transitioning into the government sector. That banking job you keep shouting about, I’ve been there. Even in the paramilitary, with a good posting and an active mind, you can earn that same ₦1 million as a Level 08 officer even though it may not be consistent. You can encourage people in your own way, but don’t spread false information. If God permits, I’ll soon transition back to the private sector either oil and gas or the NGO. I’m a strong advocate of the belief that not everyone should work for the government, and I’ll sincerely encourage my children to explore the private sector early in their careers.
ok. ignoring all irrelevant. those that will join soon will come and testify if they wish so,
but,
since you are currently collecting above150k as level 8 step 2 officer continue doing that, you hear.


good for you smiley cheesy

Me sef I’m in a dilemma. I got paramilitary offer last week and I’m in training school for a bank job now too(full staff). I’m finding it hard to choose cos it’s a thing of low pay and free time vs high pay and less free time. I don think the matter tire on which to forfeit
You see that money, it is 90% what bring the peace of mind that everyone is talking about. And bank can give you ×3 of paramilitary.
I have a friend that leave marketing as ET to Immigration, he is now regretting after 2 years and struggling to come back. I have numerous case with lecturers that are dying to come back. Government jo will gill your moral and productivity, you will feel redundant. Forget the extra time everyone is talking about, where is the capital that you will do the business in the extra time, where is the conducive environment.

Take it from some body that leave civil service and go to bank, I never regret that. Infact I am glad I did. Know your ways in the bank and sky will be your limits. By the time you will be earnings 1m/ month, your colleague in paramilitary are struggling with 300k for same years spent. And you have also good health, insurance, NHF,pension which you will easily access after retirement unlike civil servants.

I’m applying for Lead, Business Performance and it clearly states MSc. as a requirement. I think something needs to be rectified with the system design.

So are you suggesting there are positions that have a provision for MSc.?
No, I mean most of the experience position has Msc as requirement or as added advantage. But the drop down has no Msc only BSs and HND. The five candidates I registered for, I put the Msc in Professionals certifications

BMedia:
It seems there's no provision to select MSc. degree and the class of degree (distinction/merit) on the NNPC recruitment portal for experienced hires.

Also the courses are limited as there is no Management/Biz management among the options. There should have been an "other" option to input unlisted courses, especially for MSc. courses that have several specializations/nomenclatures, especially with respect to foreign institutions.

Please help if you know how to get around this. Thanks.
Which category are you applying for. I know lead team,risk management and governance has no provision for Msc. I was surprised too. But I think othe lead opening has.

davidirwin:
Can our Senior folks Guide us on the admission seeking process since we are done with the interview.
Especially for those that applied to France and Germany where Their requirements are stringent.
How do we go about the IELTS, recommendation letters, do we need international passport for application and what happens when the university is asking for an application fee which is quite high for us over in Nigeria.
Can you just guide us on the next steps from here? @utility rational and others
Admission seeking is solely on you. PTDF will not reimburse you for any Admission application fee. Some schools has zero application fee though. Some schools waive English requirements. Passport is also compulsory if not for application, for travel.

If I were you, I will not do anything. I mean any thing until I see the final list of Awardee. If your nama is there, everything thing else will be easier. Like some France schools need proof of funding. So you can use PTDF award letter. You also needs DAADs for German schools. So as I said, if I were you,I will wait first.
EducationRe: Apply For 2024/2025 PTDF Overseas Scholarship Scheme by UtilityRational(m): 8:45am On May 07, 2024
Please Those asking for securing admission should calm down. Admission seeking is the last thing you should worry about. You should concentrate on passing the interview now. Once you get the scholarship, everything fall in place. The schools, I mean every schools in those countries will be rushing you because of the money. Some schools in UK will even allow you to register even after close of registration. PTDF money is mad and they always deliver. Even if you didn't get admission, you can just differ to January or August next year and secure your admission calmly. So calm down and concentrate on your interviews.

[quote author=mb92 post=129822713]please I need more explanation on this pdtf scholarship this is my first time I’m applying for and luckily I was sent an interview invitation, how ever please I need some clarities regarding this scholarship.

1.the universities that I chose am I the one to secure the admission from any of the 3 universities myself of it’s the scholarship board that will do that for me on my behalf.

2. I have an offer letter from a different school at the moment which is not among any of the listed countries by the PDTf, it’s a different country. can I applied to the board to about that ? because i don’t think any of those universities I choose will give me offer of admission within this short period before the interview date

Like I said earlier I’m just confused because it’s my first time and I need some clarifications because I just saw something here about securing admission yourself which I don’t have any offer from 3 uni’s I chose in Uk rather it’s different uni from another country I have an offer atm moment.
Thank you .



You are to secure admission yourself. However, not a big deal as per as you get the scholarship, any school in those countries will be rushing you.

No, only those countries advertise. You can change schools in FRance,UK, German, to some extent. Note I said schools.

Can I attend the interview with my "student copy" of my transcript.....I currently don't have admission from any of the universities I applied for because I just sent out my request for my abroad transcript from my university and the process is still on.
I need quick answers please
It doesn't matter, no body will ask you whether your transcript is students copy or other wise.
Just do your interview present your docs and go.

I noticed they mentioned they want translated copies certified. so maybe the foreign certificates that are in English dont need to be certified?
I just noticed that also. Hopefully if the certificate has English version they will not mind
EducationRe: Apply For 2023/2024 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by UtilityRational(m): 10:03am On Jun 10, 2023
I don't think certification of foreign degree by foreign ministry will be possible. The email just come in yesterday and the are closing the portal tomorrow. So how is that possible. Also from all indications the interview will start next week, so it will still be very difficult for those that are not in Abuja to certify there foreign degree. Hope that criteria is not seriously taken by ptdf

@Yok, you have finally spammed this page! Wetin happen nah? Only you have been posting and posting..be calming down mr man.

On a serious note though, I have been constraining myself before now from commenting but at this rate one needs to speak up.

I understand it’s a public forum nevertheless it should not be abused by posting repeated marketing and promotional messages which is what you are doing. Thus, it’s best you just open your own thread for this purpose and not destroy this one.

My take.
exactly. he make the thread become rubbish with his promotions

emmanuelewumi:
A bond of N100 at a coupon of 15% has a yield of 15%.


If the bond should appreciate to N120 the coupon is still N15, but the yield is now 12.5%.

If the price of the bond should fall to N90, the coupon on the bond is still N15 but the yield is 16.7%

You will get N15 as your coupon throughout the tenure of the bond, but your yield will vary based on the price of the bond
like the way you explain it. perfectly clear now sir . thanks

Emmanuel can you throw more light on differences between coupons rate and yield to maturity rate. I was thinking coupons is the rate that you would be paid biannual for the maturity period. If so then what is the yield to maturity rate?
