Why am I a hopeful, despite all the setbacks and the fact that I wasn’t even called for the interview?
Comrade in 2006, I was like you. I didn’t believe in anything that had a government appellation attached to it, especially when the epitome of corruption in Nigeria held sway as president. It was at that time that NNPC conducted and concluded recruitment in 8 months. I was directly involved in the induction and training of the lads, and I could tell you that they knew nobody in the system. In fact many of them were trying to locate their tribesmen, to mentor them. The 2006 NNPC recruitment became the benchmark, the yardstick for measuring recruitment processes in government agencies.
In 2008, I applied with great hope. I went through the general examinations, the interviews and we were called for medicals. At the venue of the medicals, many had written disengagement letters from their previous employers. I’m not talking of young fresh graduates’ o. I’m referring to matured men with families.
Just then the devil struck, the then GGM HR, Lillie ADEBGITE, went on terminal leave, and that was the end of the process. Till Date. I cried.
In 2010, I was ready again, and from the vantage position of being among the security details of the GMD, I thought it would be a walk over. Na lie. The test came with GMAT. Wetin concern GMAT with security duties? I didn’t get to the interview stage.
Between then and now, your sincerely has purchased books on GMAT and commenced lectures on GMAT and professional security certifications.
You still ask why I’m still a hopeful. Don’t you get it? If this recruitment is not concluded, what is the hope that the next one in 2012 would be concluded? Many may not even bother to apply. IT MUST BE CONCLUDED.
Thank you for listing all the numerous negative signs that seems to indicate the death of the process. I see them too. But I ignore them. I celebrate the positive side of life. God forbid that I should be a bringer of bad news. -haven’t you heard? How beautiful are the feet of them that bring good news-I want my feet to be beautiful abeg.
And who told you that the sack of the minister or GMD means the end of the process. Bros, be optimistic. See the bigger picture. If Austin and dizianne refuse to be used by God-bye bye to them-God can use any one.
While you relish in the negative, don’t let our positivism threaten you. Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t call for preparation and celebration, when after a board meeting on Friday, the next meeting on Monday morning was that of the minister, GMD, the recruiting and training consultants. It is a sign….a good one worth thanking God for.
About #4bn was earmarked for this recruitment and training of the 2010 process. The money is too big not to be discovered. People will ask questions, and very soon, the 2010 hopefuls will resume. The minister has said so publicly….that they had concluded recruitment process and would be absorbing them in the next few weeks (her exact words) how hopeless can you be? Id rather be hopeful, than be totally hopeless.
Another school of thought is even praying that the fraud is detected; they are all arrested and jailed. ………..it would teach other parastatal heads not to toy with recruitment processes again.
In 2012, im ready…GMAT? Bring it on
