[QUOTE=Adumamama;484117][QUOTE=@Jesus Army;tanx for ur wonderful contribution on thi forum.pls i stand to disagree wit u on the issue of trainee operator and the pIB thing.first the recruitment exercise prsently is not on the basis of the pib cos even if the bill is passed ,it wil take like another two years b4 the impact is feed on the syetem.presently ppmc alone need more than 400 operators within d sbu.there is a strong shortage operator to the point that some of us who are Fire men were asked to assume duty in some places as operator and like wise Enginners.for now GT IS GOING to be10/state, operators 10/state.for EH ,the number has reduced drastically frm 150 to 70.the exercise wil favour more operators while dat of gt will be70/30 with more sciences.elect ur letters tentatively from upper week.@jajamark , nnpc is not open to dat kid of fraud where 400 slot wil go to senators. i tel u most times ,nnpc dont honour such request.and if there do, such senator must be directly linked wit d gmd and experience hires most times is on recommendation frm management staff.happened during kukpolokun.the little i know.[/QUOTE]
I DEY WAIT DIE. RHANK YOU FOR THIS TIMELY INFO
May God everybody, Amen.

i see the hand of God in all these, and im confident to say that in the nearest future, we will get there.
im informed that the process is presently ongoing:sources say madam wouldnt like the process to be dependent on her.
despite the fact that she may likely come back, she supports the process without her presence.
im in warri...im confident of the best
It is well! If working with NNPC is in one's destiny, it will never be taken away from one. It may delay but it will surely come to pass. Keep hope alive!

We will continue to wait until God answers us. Whether or not Madam is returning, the "WILL" of God be done. He who waits till the end shall reap bountifully. Nnpc...........
I am happy to inform the house that NNPC will never stammer and abandon the recruitment process. Goodluck jonathan has made it abundantly clear that there must be continuity whether ministers return or not, i am also happy to inform the house that madam Allison will definetly return as the minister for petroleum, her name has been forwarded but the senate recess has prevented screening, the senate will reconvene on the 28th of june, so we should expect the process to continue by july. goodluck to everybody.
gud info bro. God bless.
Thanks for the update bro! Nice one there.
food at d right tym
Just got info from sources within the edifice that the cut off marks for the just concluded test are 60 for the South and 40 for the North. Wishing all of us the best.
na wa o so these iliterate northernals still edge over us?i wonder y ds disparity
Nawao for this condition. Expectedly, after they use this 60% / 40% criterion and discover southerners still perform well, the issue of federal character will still come up, thereby giving the northerners more slots. If this info is genuine and anything to go by, it should be totally rejected. Didn't we attend the same institution, offer the same courses? Are they saying graduates of Almighty ABU are of low standard with their counterparts in OAU or UNIZIK? Or the ones that attended KADPOLY are not as intelligent as graduates of FEDPOLY,ADO-EKITI or FEDPOLY, NEKEDE? Sincerely, this condition isn't the best at all. Afterall, we underwent the same NYSC scheme. They should do this thing on a level playing ground and not on percentage quota.

I see no reason why some people complain about the principle of equity as enshrined in the Federal Character requirement for all government appointments. The principle is fair and all inclusive that national iconic brands like FirstBank apply it in their recruitment process. Other multicultural and multiracial countries like the US and South Africa have this sort of arrangements as Affirmative Action to bridge the inequality in access to economic resources and employment by all races. In Nigeria, all 19 Northern states are classified as educationally less privileged even as the literacy level in the North is lower compared to the South. The principle of federal character therefore is meant to promote equal assess to the public good irrespective of limitations. When you attended the the NNPC recruitment test, you were competing against people from your state, for the slots allocated to your state and if you beat everyone from your state, the job is yours. If an indigent person from Abuja scores 20% in the test and he/she got the highest grade of those from Abuja who wrote the test, he/she gets the job even if someone from Lagos scores 80% and did not get the job because he/she came last amongst those from that state who wrote the same test. I ask those complaining about the North to find ways of effectively competing with lads from their state for the share of the public good allocated to them rather than enviously coveting Northern share. The principle of federal character must be uphold to guarantee equal opportunity for all. Most the people deriding the principle of federal character have forgotten that it came about when the South complained about domination by the North in federal appointments. How then could Southerners complain about the same law they demanded? The question is meant to be rhetorical.
No body is giving Northerners more slots than Southerners. If 100 slots are allocated to each state, everyone will compete with those from their state for that 100 slots so that the first 100 candidates with the best scores from each state will be considered for appointment. Remember, since performance may vary across states, cut-off marks must also reflect individual state performance; fair, isn't it? You are a smart guy am sure, 60% will not be beyond your ability.

Believe it or not...Goodluck wants to serve and some of his actions will proven that point.
God bless!
Thanks Jesus Army for taking ur time to update us on the happenstances going on in NNPC stuff. It is said "an expectation postponed makes the heart sick" but we are little bit healthy. LOL
You could have explained how flawed it is. Your state and my state have equal slots for federal appointments, and that's flawed to you?Quote:

Nawa ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. kristion I do not buy this contribution of yours. It is total impartial.
thanks to u Jesusarmy, my God bless u for the care u have for us.
Guy, ur logic is flawed, as sb pointed out earlier! Federal appointments arent based on educational achievement, but on affiliation and lobbying! A job shd b based on OVERALL merit. This thing abt federal character is really annoying (U speak as though d present generation are the ones dat complained abt d political appoinment thing!Quote:

It is a truth that there are many BRILLIANT MINDS from the north-but those ones wil definitely get in on merit!!!! Well....
kriston i do not agree with this your talk. when will this nation treat everyone equal?
whether north or south or wherever? what we need is the best hands for the job. that way a northerner who aspires to work in nnpc will work real hard and study thereby making his state educationally developed. it is a big marginallization to bring that talk into serious issues like this.
thanks for the info, can any one update me on when they will start inviting pple for interview?
hello house,will there still be a second test as we were made to believe before or is it just going to be interview?Also do we have anybody for EH in the house as i know a lot of posts on this subject is from GTs.
MAY GOD HELP US AS I KNOW ONLY THOSE COUNTED WORTHY BY GOD CAN GET THIS THING IN NNPC WE ARE ALL PURSUING.
We the EHs are all here..waiting for that God's appointed time...I'm thanking HIM already!!Quote:

For Nigeria to develop, we need to let the "Best and Educated" hands do the job. Most Multinational companies in Nigeria now recruit only the best qualified candidates, without any "connection" involved...whether you are from up country Sokoto State or from down south Rivers state, so far you can prove yourself, you'll get the job.Quote:

My advice to you "Northerners" is that you guys need to embrace education more and come out of your "comfort zone" so that we can collectively take this country into the league of Developed Nations.
Naija for Life!!!
You did very well bro in stating the obvious facts, why promote mediocrity in the name of federal character and we feel Nigeria would fare better when mediocrity is encouraged and sustained to the detriment of allQuote:

@gzl you fail to recognize the truth, if ur firm's so-called recruitment process was SLIGHTLY fair, there is no way 5 out of 9 would come from ur state, what are you trying to make us believe? Check it very well ur hr/ceo/directors must be a practicing eugenicists...
God bless ourselves
If America which set the precedent through the Affirmative Action could fare better and if this sort of mechanism could settle the racial questions in South Africa, why should it be different in Nigeria? Every state has equal number of candidates to be considered and our brothers from Niger-Delta will always get additional slots, that's fair to me. An aptitude test does not measure the capacity of someone to perform in the office, for fact most people who passed (obviously through fraudulent means) the test end up being mediocre. That law - Federal Character is the only solution to the fractional and divisive attitude we have towards capturing a share of the 'national cake' by numerous nationalities in the country. So let each state present their best candidates to be employed; let everyone compete with people from their state and let the best have the job.
You are right to an extent. However, affirmative action in America does not mean an equal amount of blacks MUST be employed in a particular organization. It just means an organization MUST EMPLOY black people, not necessarily an equal number.Quote:

You cannot give sokoto an equal number of slots as you would Ebonyi, when it is clear that Ebonyi has a much higher number of graduates each year. (this is just an example, I am not criticising sokoto as a state)
