The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is stepping up measures to ensure a successful operation in the ongoing search for crude oil in the Chad Basin and other parts of the Inland Sedimentary Basin.

That is even as President Muhammadu Buhari ordered deeper exploration of some hitherto neglected areas in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria.

The Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Maikanti Baru, made this disclosure on Monday while receiving the Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar, who was on a courtesy visit to the NNPC Towers, Abuja.

Mr. Baru said the renewed search for hydrocarbon deposits in the Chad Basin would entail extensive probing of some allocated and non-allocated oil blocks in the region with a view to establishing the magnitude of the deposits.

In his opening remarks, Mr. Abubakar said he was leading a delegation of Bauchi State government officials to the NNPC Towers to felicitate with the new GMD on his appointment noting that Bauchi State was proud of Mr. Baru and his accomplishments so far in the oil and gas industry.

Briefing the visiting governor on the intensification of crude oil search in the north, the NNPC GMD noted that the Corporation had identified specific oil blocks in the area where some of the finds were made and would move to re-invigorate exploration based on fresh strategy.

“You know that very close home, we have exploration activities on the frontier basin in the Chad and some areas close to the Kolmani river where Shell had made some indicative discovery of hydrocarbons and Mr. President has directed me to go into that area to reprove and further explore the magnitude and prospectivity of those finds,” spokesperson for the NNPC, Garba Deen Muhammed quoted Mr. Baru as saying.

“We are taking steps to re-strategize and get into those regions. We will re-invigorate the frontier exploration and see how they collaborate with NNPC that is holding Block A09 where some of the finds have been made and also Department for Petroleum Resources, DPR, for the other blocks that have not been assigned.”

The NNPC GMD implored the Bauchi State governor to collaborate with the Corporation in tackling the menace of pipeline vandalism especially in the wake of reported line breaks along the NNPC products supply line from Jos-Gombe-Bauchi enroute the Maiduguri depot.

Responding, Governor Abubakar said the government and people of the State would continue to and pray for the GMD to ensure that his dreams for the NNPC come to fruition as he steered the ship of NNPC away from obviously turbulent waters amid tumbling crude oil prices. .

Also on Monday, the NNPC flagged off bid opening for the decommissioning and installation of towers and masts in Lagos, Benin and Port Harcourt area offices with eleven companies participating in the exercise.

Speaking during the bid opening ceremony at the NNPC Towers in Abuja, the Manager Telecoms, Michael Ejike, said reputable telecommunication vendors with proven experience and capacity were invited to bid for the decommissioning and installation of towers and masts in some NNPC facilities to give it a facelift.

He noted that the 11 companies that submitted bids were required to bid for any of the four refineries of their interest, adding that the exercise was geared towards providing equal opportunities for all bidders in a transparent manner.

On her part, the General Manager, Supply Chain Management, Sophia Mbakwe, said the result of the bid exercise would be ready in three weeks, assuring that all prospective vendors would receive equal treatment.

Commenting on the exercise, the Executive Director of one of the bidding companies, Anthony Wokocha, applauded the NNPC for the transparent conduct of the exercise and assured the corporation of the readiness of his company to deliver on the mandate if considered.

The shopkeeper has lost 1000 naira, nothing more and can redeem it back if he's able to catch the person he sold the goods to. He will simply collect an original 1000 naira note from the buyer telling him or her it was a fake 1000 naira he initially collected shikena. Na so maths dey confuse some pple sha!

I only know that they pay interns over 60k. I dont know about the advisory intrrnship program. Could be higher. Im currently an intern there now and its a very nice place to work, along with KPMG.

Thanks guys. I actually chose the auditing firm. May God bless us all.

Guys, I need your advice on a decision I'm about making. I concluded my degree late last year and I should be going for NYSC around October. I currently intern at a popular insurance company here in Lagos who have promised to offer me full time employment when I conclude my NYSC. However, before getting the current internship, I applied to one of the Big 4 ing firms here in Lagos for a 6 months internship. Now the firm has accepted my application and are requesting me to begin the internship June 1 i.e tomorrow.

Should I switch over to the ing firm where I knw I will gain more experience within the six months or I should stay with the insurance company where there is more Post-NYSC job assurance (and also better salary according to my research). The insurance company pays their fresh graduate full staff about 150k to start with which is sure to increase. However, I'm only collecting 40k as an intern. The ing firm also has a similar pay structure too, tho I will earn better as an intern even though work experience rather than money should be my main concern now.

I'm finding it difficult to tell my current boss I want to go even though my heart says I should move to the ing firm as I have always wished to work there no matter how short the period is. However, I dont see myself working in the insurance company for more than 3-5years even if I stay there. What should I do?

Pls guys, I want to knw how much PwC pays graduate interns. I was offered a Pre NYSC internship there. I would really appreciate ur responces. Thanks.

I was going to tell you don't do it, but I see you've already made up your mind.

Not everyone is doing it dear, and you don't need to prove yourself to anyone.

You need to come up with a better excuse

Take care

Thanks. Noted bro. Guess I'll still think about it. Thanks to everyone too. More responses will still be appreciated.

And abeg I no want make future wife they teach me sex after wedding. Btw, most of u guys have actually done it b4 nau, so why discouraging.Shebi we go use protection sef.

Guys, pls need some advise. Started dating this girl i met in my dept about 3 months ago.We r about same age although I'm in 300level while shes in 200l. Shes celebrating her birthday in a couple of days and we are planning to make love for the first time. I really like her but the issue is that I've never done it before while she told me she has done it with her previous boyfriend. Should I tell her i'm inexperienced. Don't know how she will react cos all along I've been acting like one guy that is experienced in love making. Even though I've never categorically stated to her that I've done it before. Will she figure out if I don't tell her? I don't want to feel disgraced. Matured response please. Abeg no bashing.
