    @ Jethrovich, congrats on the offer. I think Saipems is a good place to work in. The views of other people should not discourage you from following your heart. From Saipems site, it says 'Saipem has a strong bias towards oil and gas related activities in remote areas and deepwater and is a leader in the provision of engineering, procurement, project management and construction services with distinctive capabilities in the design and the execution of large-scale offshore and onshore projects, and technological competencies such as gas monetization and heavy oil exploitation'. Saipem services Oil and Gas companies and you would get good experience there. Not many people have the luxury of getting two offers so choose carefully. You may on the long run get exposed to engineering challenges and knowledge than you think the present role offers you because a friend of mine that works there said you'll get loads of experience. I wish you all the best

    mehn! Ur views are right guy. Alot of peeps don't have true info;; many of these coys are being overrated. Saipem is a construction firm in d O nd G industry. Nd if u think saipem is bad in terms of workers embursement, then try d almighty Daewoo u hear, then U'd weep for d plight of workers.

    Really? That is very new to me. My friend was bonded for 3yrs and his pay was less than 100k/month. That is more than two years ago anyway. So are you telling me your company have changed? That must be a goodnews. Or does it has someting with ur role. Does all the graduate role go with same package especially as regards non-engineering, non-field role? Do they allow change in department? I am really glad saipem has stepped up!

    @ Wasere...yep i might have called mine a new generation bank but its the number 1 bank in Nigeria as stated in the bankers magazine of this month and the 7th in africa followed by first bank which d young man just landed. my people out there if u are an engineer that has plans 4 ur future better run far away from these banks...better to take 50k in an oil and gas firm and gather the xperience than 120k in a bank but get wasted...a word should be enough for the wise.

    if it was my department of choice, I would gladly take a pay cut but it isn't. and the probability of swapping is very slim.

    so if I do join the company, it would not be an engineering position almost something similar to Firstbank's own.

    plus the job security and package is very tempting when compared with the former.

    Your case is serious. ASP nor be moi-moi o. Do you love the Nigeria police force and the frequent job mobility that comes with it? NNPC, am sure, is a better option if I were you? You can alway develop urself by series of training which they NNPC always support. I think if the PIB goes through, NNPC will become a comercial entity and independent. That means they will be competing with shell, total, mobil, agip for oil block and pay structure. And you should know NNPC would have a upper hand in that competition. This is a not a new thing. This is what happen to petrobras of Brazil, Petrofac and even British Petroleum(BP).

    NNPC is about to blow and the workers about to grow pot bellies! why? Because auditing will be tight for independent companies since it will be a public companies with common Nigeries owing about 40 per cent of NNPC shares like the banks. So less money will be loss through corruption. That means the management will have to appropriate arm-robber salary structure to staff in order to meet up with life responsibility as before and commensurate with the big players in the oil-field.

    So say goodbye to Nigeria Police Force and to the intimadating ASP position!
