[SIR LUKE]

This is the first time I'll write here. Trust me I was forced to because I can finally see that the recent protest in which a lot of things were revealed, has motivated everyone. I'm so proud of everyone here. Thumbs up to everyone....I pray that all the efforts will not be in vain..God bless U all (Amin).

[walesam]

Action should begin....enough of the talks. Copy and and all social platforms....send via BB.......do your bit and it will reward all.

Guys! Pls this is not a forum to discuss about Boko Haram. Let's focus on our cause! I've taken the bull by the horn to prepare a case write-up on our behalf. Here is my draft, pls make your comments and additions and we shall decide by what means to publish it:

NNPC AND THE BANE OF TRANSFORMATION

As we enter into a new phase in the clean-up of the nation's oil and gas industry, which remains in the foreseeable future the back-bone of our nation's economy, it is import to note some salient issues attendant to the transformation that we seek as a nation in the oil and gas industry. These pertinent issues, like the on-going fuel subsidy probe, are not only essential for the growth of the sector and for attracting new investments, it will also create more jobs for our unemployed.

The recent events following the fuel subsidy removal has not only unraveled the corrupt dealings and weaknesses of the nation's oil and gas sector, but it has also brought to the front-burners the need to transform the sector sooner than later. No wonder the much debated Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is now open for a speedy passage with the inauguration of a PIB Task Force by the Minister of Petroleum Resources. One of the prominent changes the PIB will bring is the incorporated Joint Ventures (IJVs), as viable companies with their a degree of autonomy to operate NNPC's JV portfolios. The gas sector shall also be de-bottlenecked, freeing up more gas for power generation projects, thereby reducing gas flaring.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is and shall remain a cornerstone of Nigeria's oil and gas industry, as a regulator and player in a clean and transparent industry. The changes that are anticipated are however meant to sanitize and not to destroy our collective heritage. For without a strong regulator, the industry shall become a football field without a referee. Therefore, it is important we appreciate the essential role played by NNPC and it's subsidiaries in providing an enabling and regulated environment to do business in both the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry.

This transformation must begin with the human capital. It therefore means that corrupt officials be shown the way out and new ones brought in. Nigeria is blessed abundantly blessed with human resources and we should tap into this to actualize this goal. This requires bringing in both new, qualified and experienced minds as well as training and equipping them to lead the transformation process, as the NNPC is obviously understaffed. The last concluded recruitment process was in 2006. Six years now, the corporation is yet to call new hands through the nationwide recruitment process.

It is worthy of note that the NNPC has in 2008 started a recruitment process, which was later botched. Another recruitment process was started in 2010 and up till date, successful candidates are yet to be called to resume duties. It is sad that in a nation where jobs are most needed and available avenues for job creation are not utilized. There is no better time than now for the NNPC to conclude the current recruitment process. It shall therefore be left with ample time to train and equip the new intakes properly for the task ahead, as the cleanup process continues.

Recently, the President recently directed all government ministries, parastatals and agencies with pending recruitments to conclude same, but this directive is yet to be followed to the later by the NNPC. With the huge resources already expended by the corporation on two consecutive nationwide recruitments, there is no justification for the continued delay in the release of the results of the last recruitment/interviews successful candidates issued appointment letters.

with all sense of solidarity for our 'plight', don't you guys think doing all the stuff suggested will be taking it to an extreme? i think we should move on from here and look for other things to do with our lives instead of all these, sorry to say, desperate antiques. we will be better for it if we let sleeping dogs lie cos we will not get anything good from forcing them to do what we want them to do...if we are called and you don't have anything better doing, you answer them and if you do, you 'bone' them. me don write tests tire, I don send my CVs enuf (if u check your box, you fit see my cv sef, lol), i have not reported them to anybody or written article. i have written ndlea, nafdac, etc and applied for immigration, customs, etc and I have observed the gross corruption in all these establishments. nnpc wey try to do free and fair recruitment una wan come pour sand inside my garri. I go begin night vigil for all of una...una dey craze, all of una wey wan cause trouble. no be only una sabi write article for news paper or get radio shows. it is much better that it is out of nnpc's corruption that i dont get the job, than it is because some over zealous fellow applicants go dey wan show say na only dem go school. look for a job, go for msc, learn handiwork, join politics, join militants or even boko haram, that one concern you and your God, but leave nnpc for people like me wey still get small faith say one day we go make our parents proud...with or without nnpc.

@ Slimikenna. It's pathetic. I'm sorry. The deed is already done. This is the turning point. If everybody thinks like u this recruitment would've failed. U can't effect a change by inaction and/or ''beggar's attitude.'' I respect ur opinion, nonetheless.

[saintdeby]

@slimikena u are not a gud nigerian, wen some are lukin 4 a way out u are opposing dem, which means u are only fighting 4ur head. Stupid yeye boy. BB carry go i dey fill u.

[bipet]

[bipet]

[oluvkky]

@Bipet,please don't bring old issues here. Bebrief and others are doing a wonderful job at the moment.Forward ever,backward never.

[iHope]

@Slimikenna I feel extremely sorry for u. with this attitude and inferiority complex,no wonder u r a SAN (senior applicant of Nigeria). Its laughable that ur cv will say that u r a team player, proactive and what not.
Listen even if my name doesn't come out I will survive very comfortably, my aim is that the process comes to an end. U have been waiting aimlessly for 7months now and u see nothing wrong in that??.
Well u r entitled to ur opinion. I don't expect everyone to reason sensibly.

[bipet]

Wonderful!

Dear hopefuls, information reaching me is that our letters will be dispatched before end of next week (i.e. 9th to 13th January), regardless of the planned industrial action.

Be steadfast in prayers.

[Slimikenna]

I guess this thread is for hopefuls, for those who have something IMPORTANT to say about the recruitment process. My earlier post was done with a humour, not to insult anybody...or myself.

Yes, I dont support the article writing thing, thats my opinion, nobody should insult me for it. If you have yours, state it. I will not degrade myself in a public forum like this by attacking/insulting people...not me. Degrading a fellow human doesn't make me a greater person.
