I still confirmed from reliable source ystady unless they decieve us which this person couldn't.The GMD did not say another batch would not be realeased, it was impression of the new inductees.That was the reason the induction was sone this 1st week, it would ve been next week. U know 2nd batch, it always be rush, rush even in admission, even NNPC can give 2weeks notice if u like u no accept it bcos it is GTs/OPs.Just go and join them in Delta and be collecting ur salaries, so what else? All the best.

Walahi,I dey go prepare for next recruitment.ma Msc nd some professional certifications will do.Am not sad any more cos I wasn't called.I have takn it as a challenge nd come nxt recruitment,I shall be smokee.Since a storng 2.1(GPA of 4.39) is not enof to get me an appointment with the NNPC,I have to go add more feathers to ma wings. Its not too late.I ve jst spent a year and half after NYSC(2010).Even though I am gainfully employed nw I will nt stop until I get into the oil and gas sector.May God help me,amen
stop decieving yourselves men.Better be doing something woo.I told you my own.
The GMD gave the history of the recruitment right from advert,applict,shortlist,exam and intervie.giving number and percentage of candidts at each level.There was no sign of bringing out more names at all.Iam not guessing infact i was truly there-i was among the group that was asked to vaccate the yellow chairs for the press-those present can verify that.Iam in batch H going 4 my medicals on thursday along side with batch k.
It is never my happiness to see my fellow hoping 4 something that is does not exist.you guys should better think of something different or wait for another exercise.but do not fold arms waiting 4 nnpc.Pls find something to do,as time is very precious. The truth is bitterg
NNPC makes U-turn on FOI, promises transparency
Premium Times

The Nigerian National Petroleum Commission, which initially claimed that it was not bound by the Freedom of Information law, has made a U-turn, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The NNPC had in a letter dated July 17 and signed by its Legal Adviser refused an FOI application by a national daily saying it is “not bound by the provision of the act”.
Senior lawyers, human right activists, and civil society groups, as reported by PREMIUM TIMES, condemned the NNPC for its position on the FOI; with Itse Sagay, a Professor of Law, describing the commission’s position as “ignorant.”
The official position by the NNPC was however contradicted by the commission’s head and Group Managing Director, Andrew Yakubu.
Mr. Yakubu, while speaking at the induction ceremony for the 595 new members of staff said his commission is open to transparency.
“I want to use this opportunity to address some concerns raised in some quarters about our attitude toward transparency and accountability,” Mr. Yakubu stated.
“We uphold these ideals in all our operations.”
The NNPC boss said that “long before the Freedom of Information Act came into force, the NNPC had always maintained an open door policy”.
Part of the ways the commission acts transparently, according to Mr. Yakubu, is by “volunteering information to its public through press releases, advertorials and presentations at different forums including at the National assembly”.
However, the NNPC boss failed to denounce or reject the official letter written by his commission; nor did he state the commission’s willingness to honour the FOI request of the Daily Trust Newspapers.
The FOI request, by the media, bordered on the recent recruitment carried out by the NNPC, amidst alleged violations of the Federal Character principle.
We obeyed Federal Character
Mr. Yakubu stated that his commission complied with the principle of the Federal Character Commission in the recruitment of new staff.
“I wish to restate that the 2010 recruitment exercise which ultimately led to today’s induction ceremony stands as one of the most painstaking and transparent recruitment exercise ever conducted in the history of the corporation,” he said.
The NNPC boss said that “in line with the Federal Character Commission’s requirements, Management (of NNPC) engaged the Commission for vetting of the recruitment exercise”.
“After a series of interface, the commission issued a Certificate of Compliance to NNPC thus bringing the exercise to a successful close,’’ he said.
Mr. Yakubu also said his commission is rapidly expanding it services in the upstream and downstream sectors.
“As at the last count, the NNPC had increased its number of retail outlets and affiliate filling stations from 30 to over 500, increasing its share to over 16.13 per cent,’’ he said.
Excuse me all. I beg to differ with a lot of you including the GMD on the fairness of the process. There is nothing anyone would post here and people will agree with that changes the fact that there were name swapping in the final list. You know we also have a way of tagging along with anything that comes our way and accepting it as the best. I dont mind being a one man standing alone in stating what i know. Like I had said you cant even expect anything better from a corrupt society. It may be the best they can offer but it is not good enough. With all the indictment on the organisation are you people telling me that they would be fair when it comes to recruitment only?
What happened in the recruitment is an extension of what happens in the society anyway but I dont agree it is fair and anybody believing that is only deceiving himself. Not that if i had someone to help me, I would turn down the offer but it does not change the fact that it was not in any way fair.
Danbaura we will know between God and GMD who is saying the truth regarding 2nd batch issue,but remember people said b4 that process was cancell and i said that is a liar bcos God never say so, bcos i know that no great thing that will happen without he God revealing it to his people. Moreover NNPC do recruit people allmost every blessed month, therefore GMD not saying there is 2nd batch is not an issue to me.
How will they fill the vacant slots? Merit or in-house? Will they use it to compensate the aggrieved staff whose candidate could not get in with the first list? Or will they consider merit and give people who have no Godfather a chance?
You may be right. maybe someones name was swapped with yours that is why you were invited for interview. What goes around comes around. Seriously quit whining and move on my friend. Bitterness will not help you. Rooms are being created in NNPC every now and then but at the rate you are going I am unsure if the words of your mouth will not come true for you.
@ Danbarua!we don hear nw!No second batch.Must u repeat it? Abi make we go buy you microphone so dat u go enter street?mschwwwwwwww.=))•´¨)
