QSFemi:
Get yourself educated first before throwing the word "ignorance" around. There's nothing like BEME in the eye of the law. It's just an unscrupulous attempt by engineers to usurp QS of their primary roles of costing. Come to think of it, you think the construction you mentioned such as bridges, jetties etc cannot be cost by a QS? How ignorant are you! Last two weeks, I prepared a bid for a dredging project brought to me by an engineer. Countless Quantity Surveyors are working with Julius Berger, Cappa and D'Alberto, CCECC (China Civil Engineering Construction Company) undertaking bridges, road construction, railway constructions. I've worked in a road construction company before costing nothing but roads, bridges and related works.

The term "cost engineering" is foreign to the Nigerian infrastructure development industry. It's never an area of specialisation in Nigeria. Rather, it's a specialized field used mostly in the USA. Due to absence of the term "quantity surveying" in the USA, cost engineering suffices to fulfil the role. Some of Nigerian trained quantity surveying graduates have undertaken post graduate studies in cost engineering in the USA. This should tell you that cost engineering is not domiciled only in the body of engineering alone even in the USA.

Nigeria gained independence from the UK and most of the tertiary education curriculum in Nigeria is fashioned after the UK model. In the UK construction and infrastructure development Industry, quantity surveyors are the only recognised cost expert on infrastructure developments - buildings, roads, bridges, jetties, railways etc.

The fight by engineers to oversee costing of infrastructure developments is an attempt to further drag the country further into the abyss of corruption that the country is already battling with.

Design and costing are two independent specialized fields and they're not mutually inclusive.

And you did not state the section that prohibits engineers from doing costing.

QSFemi:
I didn't insult you in any way. I only told you to mind your design business and leave QS out of it. The bolded is actually laughable because that's the false impression engineers go about telling unsuspecting clients. Engineering practice as established by the law in the country never identify nor recognise costing as one of the roles engineers played. Doing so is tantamount to quackery. Same way we've draughtsmen doing structural designs without requisite qualification and competence. That doesn't make them engineers. Engineers preparing bills, no matter how badly prepared it's, is nothing but quackery. Quantity Surveying practice is also established by CAP Q1 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004, used to be decree No 31 of December 5, 1986 - an act of the National Assembly. Do well to familiarise yourself with laws establishing COREN in the country.

Back to materials take off from designs that you're bragging about, I still main the status quo, it's not a big deal. It's been around for years.

You are begining to display your ignorance. Are you the one costing roads and bridges? What law established that engineers don't do costing? Please, state it? Or you don't know the is a full body of knowledge called cost engineering? Or you don't know cost engineering is an area of specialization for some engineers? What do you know by your training as a QS about bridges, roads, jetties etc. Have you heard of the term - BEME(bill of engineering measurements and evaluation)? Is it a QS' term? Stop displaying your ignorance.

Please, state the section of the law that prohibits engineers from costing.

QSFemi:
You did well by advertising the services and skills that you can offer. However, you do not promote your services while playing down another equally noble profession as yours. You said clients don't need Quantity Surveyor just because your software can be used to take off quantities from drawings. Your knowledge is actually very limited on the horizon of the QS practice. Quantity Surveying has lots of software that they used to prepare their Bill of Quantities. Softwares that do not only take off quantities but also prepare prepare of bill of quantities. Examples include QSCAD, MBBS, MASTERBILL among others. Do not think for a second that you've just discovered the most profound finding of the century just because your software used in design can take off quantities. It's nothing new. Even Revit and AUTOCAD do that. What you fail to grasp is that quantities generated by these softwares are "net quantities" in most items of work and CANNOT be used to order the right quantities of materials from the market. Besides, most items of work are composite items - concrete, block work, mortar etc which software couldn't even itemise individual quantities.

So, just advertise your services and leave QS out of your troubles.


I come in peace.

Chairman, read to understand. I specifically mention "material take-off" and not "BOQ" and that is what I was referring to by saying that I can provide the deliverable without a QS. Also, most jobs I have done and even in my current place of employment, I simplify the work of the QS by giving them the material take-off which they then arrange in their professional way for pricing. And beside, Engineers do prepare bills as well. So....

You came in peace but your comment is riddled with insulting language. Even without Revit, I can prepare all the material take-off manually. So, I really do not know what your grouse is.

I salute the legends in the house. If you need to optimize your design or in need of standard structural drawings, kindly call us.

If you feel your working drawings are currently over design, call us for optimization. We may only agree on sharing ratio for any cost savings.

* Detail formwork drawings in Revit
* Structural design with staadpro
* Structural detailing with soficad
* Precise bar bending schedule
* Direct extract of material take-off from Revit.
* We can give you your material quantities for your carcass. You don't need a QS.
* All structural designs and drawing are to latest euro codes (many engineers are still in the ages of BS codes)
* And above all, you are getting a standard Julius Berger kind of structural details.

What You Need To Know About New Petroleum Act

With the President signing of the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, into law and now to be known as Petroleum Industry Act, PIA, the entire framework for doing business in the oil sector changes fundamentally. Emmanuel Addeh brings out the highlights of the new Act that will now govern operations in the sector going forward


• FG to Conclude Commercialisation of NNPC by February 2022

• Act retains 3% for host communities, 30% for frontier basins

• New law creates two regulatory agencies for oil industry

• Commission to collect rents, royalties, production share

• Downstream authority to collect gas flare from midstream

• PIA imposes 1% levy on wholesale price of petroleum products


• Corporation to retain 10% of profit oil, gas as management fee

• Oil companies to be sanctioned for understating profits, overstating losses

• New legislation repeals 10 existing laws

• BoT, executive members of host communities’ board may not be indigenes

• Oil areas to distribute funds for capital projects (75%), reserve (20%), administrative (5%)


• Bill divided into fiscal, administrative, governance and institutions as well as host communities

• Host communities’ fund to be set up within 12 months from yesterday

• All employees of NNPC deemed new staff of NNPC limited

• When incorporated, board appointments to be made by shareholders, not the president alone

• Host communities to forfeit entitlement to extent of damage in cases of vandalism


T

he new Petroleum Industry Act mandates that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) will be commercialised within the next six months, effectively transforming the national oil company into a limited liability company.

Added to that is the establishment of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), which shall be responsible for the technical and commercial regulation of upstream petroleum operations.

According to the new law, the commission will ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing upstream petroleum operations in a manner to minimise waste and achieve optimal government revenue as well as promote healthy, safe, efficient and effective conduct of upstream petroleum operations.


But despite the hue and cry from some groups in the Niger Delta on the need to increase the host communities’ fund, the new Act retained three per cent of total expenditure by the oil companies for the previous year for oil-producing areas and 30 per cent of NNPC Limited’s profit oil and gas in product sharing, profit sharing and risk service contract for frontier basins exploration.

Also established is the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) which shall be responsible for the technical and commercial regulation of midstream and downstream petroleum operations in the petroleum industry.

Furthermore, the NMDPR, which effectively means the extinction of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) will ensure efficient, safe, effective and sustainable infrastructural development of midstream and downstream petroleum operation as well as promote healthy, safe, efficient and effective conduct of midstream and downstream petroleum.

Among others, the new body will promote a competitive market for midstream and downstream petroleum operations; promote the supply and distribution of natural gas and petroleum products and ensure the security of natural gas supply for the domestic gas market as well as ensure crude oil supply for domestic refineries.

Also to be floated is the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) which shall be funded from 0.5 per cent of the wholesale price of petroleum products and natural gas sold in Nigeria, which shall be collected from wholesale customers.

Other sources of funding for the new body are grants accruing from multilateral agencies, bilateral institutions and related sources dedicated partly or wholly for the development of infrastructure for midstream and downstream gas operations in Nigeria and interest payable in respect of money in the fund.

Also, monies received from gas flaring penalties by the commission for the purpose of environmental remediation and relief of the host communities of the settlor on which the penalties are levied and any other sum freely donated shall be paid into the fund.

On the commercialisation of the NNPC, it states: “The minister shall within six months from the commencement of this Act, cause to be incorporated under the Companies and Allied Matters Act, a limited liability company, which shall be called the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Limited).


“The Minister shall at the incorporation of NNPC Limited, consult with the minister of finance to determine the number and nominal value of the shares to be allotted, which shall form the initial paid-up share capital of NNPC Limited and the government shall subscribe and pay cash for the shares.

“Ownership of all shares in NNPC Limited shall be vested in the government at incorporation and held by the ministry of finance incorporated and the ministry of petroleum incorporated in equal portions on behalf of the federation and the ministry.”


The document further states that assets, interests and liabilities of NNPC not transferred to NNPC Limited or its subsidiary under subsection (1), shall remain the assets, interests and liabilities of NNPC until they become extinguished or transferred to the government in six months following the determination while the minister of finance and the attorney general of the federation shall develop a framework for the payment of the liabilities.

According to the new law: “NNPC shall cease to exist after its remaining assets, interests and liabilities other than its assets, interests and liabilities transferred to NNPC Limited or its subsidiaries under subsection (1) shall have been extinguished or transferred to the government.”


To allay the fears expressed by beneficiaries of host community funds that oil companies may continue to under-declare expenses or profits and overstate losses, the law also set out appropriate punishments for any person who makes incorrect accounts by omitting or understating any profits or overstating any losses of which he is required under the act to make accounts.

It added: “A person who prepares or causes to be prepared any incorrect schedule or statement required to be prepared under section 277 of this Act by overstating any expenditure or overstating any royalties or other sums or by omitting or understating any amounts repaid, refunded, waived or released, or gives or causes to be given any false;


“Or misleading information in relation to any matter or thing affecting his liability to hydrocarbon tax is liable to an administrative penalty of the sum of N15,000,000 or 1 per cent of the amount of tax which has been undercharged in consequence of such incorrect account.”

As part of the implementation process, the law mandated the minister to within 24 months of the effective date cause an inter agency transfer of any staff of the institutions to the commission, the authority or NNPC Limited based on skills and competence requirements of the new institutions.


It stated that every settlor shall transfer any existing host communities development project or scheme under its corporate social responsibility or memorandum of understanding or any other agreement to a host communities development trust established under the act.

“Every applicable settlor shall notify the commission or authority, as the case may be, upon completion of any transfer under subsection (1) to any one or more host communities development trusts of any of its existing host communities development projects or schemes.


“Any financial contribution made by a settlor from the effective date until the date falling 12 months after the effective date to any ongoing host communities development project or scheme in accordance with their terms, shall be deemed to constitute a contribution made by such holder or holder nominee under section 240 (2) of this act,” it stated.

It stressed that rules, orders, notices or other subsidiary legislation made under the Petroleum Act, the Petroleum Profits Tax Act and the Deep Offshore and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contract Act shall continue to have effect as if made under the corresponding provisions of the Act.


The new act further mandated each settlor through its operator to make the 3 per cent available for the host communities, with each of the trusts allowed to receive donations, gifts, grants or honoraria that are provided to such host communities development trust for the attainment of its objectives.

“Each settlor, where applicable through the operator, shall make an annual contribution to the applicable host communities development trust fund of an amount equal to 3 per cent of its actual annual operating expenditure of the preceding financial year in the upstream petroleum operations affecting the host communities for which the applicable host communities development trust fund was established, ” it said.

Breaking: Inflation Falls to 17.38%
editorAugust 17, 2021 2:17 Pm
By James Emejo

The Consumer Price Index, (CPI) which measures inflation dropped to 17.38 per cent (year-on-year) in July, compared to 17.75 per cent in the preceding month, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The NBS however, explained that the 0.37 per cent reduction in the headline index implied that prices continued to rise in July but at a slower rate than it did in June.

It noted that prices moderated in all parameters that determined inflation during the review period.

According to the CPI report for July which was released Tuesday by the NBS, food inflation slowed to 21.03 per cent in the review period compared to 21.83 per cent in June, meaning that food prices continued to rise in July but at a slower speed than it did in June.

Core inflation, which excludes the prices of volatile agricultural produce, however increased to 13.72 per cent, up by 0.63 per cent when compared with 13.09 per cent recorded in June.

Details later…

If you’re in Lagos I won’t mind sharing the book with you to photocopy though.

Thanks bro...I'm based in Abuja. Could you mention the title and author of the book? Lemme check for free e-copy lol.

Thanks

I concur.

However, there’s a place of trust but that doesn’t mean a General Control should play stupid with the clients money all in the name of extending trust to subtrades.

It almost 90% of time don’t go right.

I think everything in a construction project in Nigeria should follow a workflow, process, system and checklists and everyone on a project must be trained and retrained on how to do it right every time just like airport check-in service. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been flying.

Your attachment looked like a quality management plan or construction methodology. Do you mind sharing with me please? Thanks

NNPC Set to Fill 19 Top Management Vacancies, May Reshuffle Existing Positions
editorAugust 9, 2021 5:20 Am
Emmanuel Addeh

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) may any time from now carry out a major exercise to fill about 19 existing vacant positions in the company, which may also see the redeployment of several top officials, following the planned shake-up.


Quoting top government sources yesterday, an online medium, The Whistler, said that some of the 19 management positions that are yet to be occupied are due to statutory retirements by some employees of the company, starting from December last year.

It stated that for instance, the position of Chief Operating Officer ( Downstream) has been vacant since December 2020 when Mrs. Lawrencia Ndupu statutorily retired from that position. Ndupu, who represented the South-east region at the top management level of the NNPC had yet to be replaced since her retirement.


The implication of this, according to the sources is that there is currently no representation from the South-east at that level of management at the NNPC, adding that the Chief Operating Officer (COO) Ventures and Business Development has been seen several times in public events acting in that position lately.

It was also gathered that replacements would be announced to fill the vacant positions left due to the retirement of the managing director of the Nigerian Gas Marketing Company(NGC) as well as the managing director of the Port Harcourt Refinery.


Similarly, the Managing Director, Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC), Mr. Musa Lawal and Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Dr. Kennie Obateru, are said to be due for retirement in September this year.

“There is going to be a massive shake-up at the NNPC following the 19 vacant positions that we now have in the corporation. You will recall that the COO Downstream, Mrs Lauretta retired since December 2020 and she is representing South-east in the NNPC management level.


“No one has replaced her yet and by implication, there is no representation from the South-east. Instead, Engineer Adeyemi Adetunji who is COO Ventures and Business Development has been seen severally in public events acting as COO Downstream.

“The MD PPMC, Musa Lawal and GGM Group Public Affairs Dr Kennie Obateru are also due for retirement sometime in September this year. Don’t forget that the MD of Nigerian Gas Marketing Company, and MD of PH Refineries have all retired without replacement.


“It is expected that someone from the SE will be promoted to COO to replace Mrs Ndupu. Some persons have been working in those positions in acting capacity,” the online medium quoted the NNPC source as saying

One of the thing I do is to use my personal build for experimental projects. So it’s not as if I’m reading it from the book

I have a concrete roof (24sqm) with POP ceiling beneath. You won’t even see any sign of water issues.

I’m not close to it, I’d have share pics and video of the roof. It’s 10 years old and I’ve old had to retouch the POP ceiling once.

With a gentle slope, you can avert 99% of water issues on concrete roofs.

Just show the water where to go!

it is not all about slope. Concrete is bound to have voids and cracks as well. These are possible ways water can begin to seep in. I have worked with Berger and even as big as they are, they avoid flat roof without covering as much as possible. This is a general knowledge in the industry and one should avoid it as much as possible.

n3xt:
Few days ago, someone asked why is it common for flat roofs to leak and there was really no answer to this question.

The truth is, it’s not the flat roof that leaks but your roof design and the quality of your installation.

Checking out one of our flat roof install at Badore Lagos.

It’s 4 years after installation. No felting. No leakage issue.

_________

In the coming week, I’d be working on 2 new flat roof installations. In one of the install, I’ll be using OSB boards

It’s an experimental project on a personal build though

By flat roof I believe the person referred to concrete roof exposed to the environment. The truth is, it is always prone to water seepage. The picture you posted showed you covered the roof with sheets. This is the best way to avoid water from retaining on the concrete.

cash1115:
Is it right to ask your client to send you transport fair if the job is outside your state? I client called me to come and check a job in Edo state I wanted to know the situation of the job by asking her if its just to measure or state immediately, she said she will start as soon as we conlude, so I send her some designs and the price which she accepted, she asked when am coming and I told her 2days time which she said if I can't come the next day I should forget the job, and my wife just put to bed after all the spending I have no money left which am praying to go to bring work, I was happy when she said that. The last question I asked got her annoyed, when I asked her if I should come with my tools and my boys, she said is there anyway I will work without bringing them that if she is not ready she won't call me, I called my boys to get ready for the next day, but due to not having much cash I ran around to get 5k from someone that when I get there I will send them money to come, I got there in the evening, i calling her severally and her number wasn't going even before I left, she pick the call around 5pm when I told her am there already, that am on my way to the site, she changed everything that I didn't call her before coming so am a scam, I can't believe that, I summon courage that I should get to the site first at least I will sleep at the site till the next day I only have 100naira left when the bike man dropped me funny enough is that nothing like site around the location I started calling her she blocked my line from call and WhatsApp. I went through hell that day but thank God I survived it.

Learn to always get clients commitment in terms of advance payment before putting any effort into the job. Many of these clients are just unreasonable. So sorry for your ordeal.

vas2net:

Your own sense is still on the way. It will get to you soon.

You're just a fool! You shouldn't be among the EH. You sound like a kid!

vas2net:

U don get sense finally.

This comment is unnecessary pls! Nobody is really absolutely sure of what the true situation is right now.

I met with on the GTs a few days ago. He confirmed NNPC tried to delay their confirmation claiming they've not been working fully and that it was just last month they got their confirmation letters. Truth is, the pandemic was the main impediment to the EH recruitment.

Therefore, those that want to be hopeful should pls continue to be and express it outwardly as they wish. If you have lost hopes as well, pls move on quietly. No need dragging anybody or calling people names for their thoughts.

Thank You

BonjourATous:


The so called statement is a statement anyone can claim he made...my point is you choose to believe this and disregard NNPC's official statement on Twitter and even the video at NAPE. DPR commenced in 2016 and was completed in 2018, the previous NNPC recruitment b4 this one started in 2010 and was completed in 2012. This one started in 2019

I'm not saying crazy things don't happen but I have a problem when people say things from their head are facts.

But nobody is saying things from their head here. The spokesperson for the corporation has said it in clear terms that they had no need to continue with the EH component of the recruitment. He did not say it in parables that should be subject to different interpretations. I think anyone putting so much hopes on this recruitment would be hurting themselves.

Originakalokalo:


A Corporation advertised vacant positions, called candidates for test, marked the scripts, shortlisted candidates for interviews, spent so much along the line and then woke up one morning to decide that they could fill the positions internally.

Imagine how this sounds.

In a saner clime,the 10,000 candidates will sue them for various reasons and the cost of damages will force them to conclude the exercise.

However, this is Nigeria where insanity reigns.

the bolded is the conclusion of the whole matter. It's a shiity country that seems to have no hopes of improving

T4kbaba:
https://guardian.ng/news/niger-delta-youths-threaten-to-shut-down-nnpc-over-bias-in-recruitment/

Although spokesman of the corporation, Kennie Obateru, told The Guardian that the company did not see the need to continue with the hiring of experienced hands, which started under the former Group Managing Director (GMD), the late Maikanti Baru, NDYCN said some persons were secretly employed from the northern part of the country.

I guess this is closure smh

Firstly, select all the regions you're interested in on EOI SkillSelect. You can as well select 'any'

Thanks. I did that already. Just saw that one needs to apply to each of the regions separately, hence, I asked.

Please, can anyone share links for application to the various region? Thanks
