NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES WITH MIRAGE EMPLOYMENT CAPABLE OF CREATING INCAPABLE CIVIL SERVICE
It is becoming a pattern for the Nigerian National Petroleum corporation and her sister corporation, the Department of Petroleum Resources to start up a nation wide recruitment that is dully published in the national dailies for qualified Nigerians in different fields of studies, and later abandon the process unattended. This unaccepted thread has elicited so much condemination among the Nigeria populace as it poses a serious malfunctioning in the civil service system. Especially, when people making up the civil service are highly incompetent that may have come through the "back door". A highly competent civil service is a Crown to the government.
There is no doubt that, the NNPC has one of the best recruitment process in Nigeria owning to the standard applicants go through during recruitment process stages. But " The ends justifies the means". This best recruitment process will have no difference with a waste in the bin if after spending tax payers money to hire one of the best recruitment consultants through which qualified Nigerians for the job are selected, it then ends it with a perpetual silent as was the case of NNPC, 2008 nation wide recruitment.
In march, 2010 the Department of Petroleum Resources called on qualified Nigeria graduates (University and Polytechnics) for various positions in the establishment through the national dailies. After which qualified graduates applied and were invited for aptitude test across the nation. Those who made the aptitude test were subsequently invited for oral interview. Up till this moment, nothing has been heard from the DPR concerning the release of appointment letters to the successful candidates.
Also, in the last quarter of 2010, the hope of many unemployed Nigerians was heightened with the release of the recruitment campaign by th Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the NNPC in November. This was a period when political campaigns ware at the centre stage for 2011 elections. The job advert was made public with a large number of applications in four categories namely: Graduate Trainee, Trainee Operators, Experience Hire and Contractors. And applications were made till the advert expires December 31, 2010.
The corporation in conjunction with phillips consulting limited invited thousands of pre-qualified candidates to an aptitude/skills test which was held on Saturday, march 23, 2011 at various centres across the country. Many of these graduates took the risk with the hope of contributing their worth to the national development and took part in the aptitude test with no reimbursement whatsoever.
Subsequent to the release of the result for the aptitude test, candidates were invited for oral interview as usual at the NNPC towers, Abuja between July and August, 20011 to end the interviewing of over four thousands that made it to the interview. Till this moment, the NNPC and DPR had not published the names of the successful candidates according to the Federal Character commission act. Neither have they reimbursed these unemployed candidates which could have borrowed to make the interview at the period when the security situation was very prevalent.
The Nigerian Unemployment online Movement reminds his excellency, president Jonathan for his promise to fully implement the job creation committee's recommendations. According to the president at the first ever presidential summit on job creation, he said his government will seize the opportunities that abound in the agricultural and downstream petroleum sectors of the economy to engage the country's youths productively so they don't become prey for mischievous elements.
In conclusion, we call on all relevant bodies, agencies and government; the National Assembly, the Federal Characters Commission, NNPC and DPR board , National Human Rights Commission and the presidency to inquiry into this urgly pattern being set by the NNPC and DPR in this recruitment saga, to urgently come to the aid of unemployed Nigerian youths in the view to resolving the delay experienced so
