Topic: DPR Interview; How did it go, guyz?

@Roz, there is nothing improper mentioning the FCC in this letter.@debrown, is there any modality on how to raise the money for the publication cos there is no time talking too much on this. The letter you wrote is simple and portrays our minds.

@debrown, let us have the money update so that we will know the financial status and continue with the contribution by Monday morning.

@debrown, i thought of that quotation on budget defence,it is not an offence since it happened,when budget is the talk of the town,and include since the presnt administration is keen on job creation on mr. President trnsformation agenda,

@debrown, I personally appreciate d good and selfless job u are doing, jst kp it up.However, to help drive our plea to the hon. minister home let the next sentence after FCC read thus " Hon. Minister, the budget as your respectable self is aware, has since been approved for the completion of the pending DPR recruitment, but here we are still waiting for the release of offer letters to the successful ones amongst us in the third quarter of 2012 fiscal year"With this it will be clear to her that the interviewees are all waiting, irrespective of wether some have seen their name on FCC list or not, to see that the offer letters are released soonest.

@All, below is an update of the proposed open letter. I hope this has addressed most (if not all) of the issues/concerns raised. Let is now focus on raising the money for a full page or half page publication or if you have the right contacts, kindly assist us to achieve this. You may wish to go back the previous pages for the account details and update. We have about N106,500 or so currently with @bebrief.AN OPEN LETTER TO THE HON. MINISTER OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES, ARCH. (MRS.) DIEZIANI ALLISON MADUEKE BY THE 2011 BATCH OF INTERVIEWEES FOR JOBS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES (DPR). The Department of Petroleum Resources(DPR) sometime in March 2010 advertised for various positions and conducted two different tests on 12th June and 4th Dec 2010 through a recruitment agency ERA Professional Services. Successful candidates were invited for final interviews at Lagos resource centre, No.9 Anifowoshe Street, Off Kofo Abayomi between April and May 2011 while the list of selected candidates was approved in July 2011 by the Federal Character Commission (FCC). Hon. Minister, the Budget as your respectable self may be aware, has since been approved for the Department, but here we are still waiting for our deserved letters in the third quarter of the 2012 fiscal year. You may recall the budget breakdown of the department given by yourself before the National Assembly Joint Committees on Gas and Petroleum Resources (Upstream and Downstream) budget defence on Thursday 2nd February 2012 where you and the DPR Director informed the committee that the department would employ more staff in 2012. 'We are expecting to employ 250 workers in another two weeks,' the DPR Director said. You also mentioned that a 'slight increase in DPR's recurrent budget represents provisions for anticipated recruitment of new staff to improve the overall effectiveness of the department'. Hon. Minister, we sat for the tests and were interviewed several months before the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC) cadre that has finally received their letters three weeks ago through the intervention of your good office and will be resuming work in August this year, while our letters are still pending. The successful conclusion of this process or otherwise will call to question the genuineness of Mr. President’s transformation agenda, which most of the DPR hopefuls bought into. We are therefore, appealing to the Minister and management of the DPR to lend a listening ear to our plea and respond by concluding this long-running recruitment process and release offer letters to successful candidates.We are well aware of the challenges of your important office, its dynamism and the turbulence that has dogged your sincere and seminal efforts to uplift the oil and gas sector.We humbly pledge our commitment to give our best to support your efforts to strengthen the sector, as we hope to be absorbed soon by the DPR, with your kind intervention. GOD BLESS YOU!GOD BLESS DPR!GOD BLESS NIGERIAN GRADUATES!GOD BLESSTHE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!Signed2011 DPR HOPEFULS (ONLINE FORUM)

@Debrown: Gud u hv listened and made d neccessary imputs,dats a gud 1(afterall u guys r aiming @ d same tin) BUT u have made d appeal letter MORE LENGTHY.(Let it b easy to read). Expunge some unneccesary words n dates dat has made d appeal 2lengthy. Pls read carefully tru Gly007's post very well.Dat's d exert words to use(straight,simple n precise) n also read roz' last post(budget was approved for d 'DPR pending recruitment').This will save u some of d unnecassary sentences u used below d letter.The bottom line is u want to make an appeal n indirectly make her knw d budget for d DPR pending recruitment has been approved.Keep it SIMPLE! Above all Prayer is d KEY.

@lawmaker, kindly summerise this letter to the length and number of words you think it should be in order to avoid these assignment you have given me to read through peoples posts. I have tried to take every single comment on board and I don't have the energy for all these further adjustments. The dpr budget was not meant for only recruitment and the approval was not based on the on going recruitment. I have included the budget defence you and others were clamouring for and have even quoted the Minister and Director which in my opinion is not necessary. I knew this will go on and on and there will be no emphasis on the contribution or contacts with newspapers. Pls am waiting for a final copy from you based on your comments. @all, here is the account details for those who want us to take this to the next level pls. Acc name: SIMSOLUTIONS LIMITEDAcc no.: 1011746824Zenith Bank.

@all we need to action enough of talk pls,let's contribute the needed fund and move to the next stage or if any one has contact with any publisher should assist pls,we have put enough energy on talking,I think is high time we do what is important leave this contraction of the publication
@lawmaker,you can propose a new letter for consideration ,pls.

@lawmaker, make the necessary amendment inline with the proposed correction, pls. @all lets proceed with the contribution, so we can make the publication soonest.
