"Recruiting young engineers across the nation" you say? Is Bauchi and Kano " the nation" or is it "across the North"? You lay hundred of kilometers of pipes to load crude oil from the East to your CBN funded refinery in Lagos. You won't go to Bauchi to lay pipelines for crude, neither will you go to Kano... But when it comes to job opportunities in this sector, you first focus on those you consider as "your people"!

This is the kind of One Nigeria they desperately want. You have all the jobs at the Ministry of Petroleum. All the jobs at NNPC and PPMC. All the jobs in the Customs and Army and Police and all that.... Now this... What are Eastern youths from where this resources are being exploited supposed to do? Go to Malaysia and Cambodia to hussle. Abi? While you and your brothers from the desert inherit the earth?
It won't work like that na..

Name the Eastern states he laid pipe from. Why do you always want to grab everything.

Do you guys even know most of these schools in the North apart from ABU are mostly filled up with southerners ? Don't go and put sand sand in your brothers garri because of ignorance and bigotry .

Over 100 is a lot, but to highlight how shallow you are, 1 scholarship means less burden on one family, which goes a long way.

Not interested in the rest of your rubbish anyway, negative people are always boring and depressing, they are always sad and unhappy people.

You are writing rubbish ,you know how many people died fighting for that land ?do you know the pries of land in that area?they are not poor

Congratulations to the selected

Lagosians should be on the lookout for this Dangote refinery not to pollute Lagos waters and the environment like we are seeing in SS states like Rivers.. he is going to pack ab0kis now from North to work in his refinery in Lagos but Lagosians will be the ones suffering when effluents and waste streams from the refinery are not properly managed.

The mumu Yoruba folks will continue looking as usual while they keep robbing peter to pay paul.. very docile race.

Dangote will be weary of investing in the East because of constant burning of his trucks and drivers simply because he's a northerner.

lexy2014:

What does it mean by "recruiting across the nation"?

Did you read the article? If you did, you should know its an initiative in motion. But nevertheless, he is not mandated to recruit across the nation by any law. If he has chosen Bauchi and Kano, he personally knows why and owes nobody an explanations.

As a matter of fact, he fly in experts if he deems fit. He is a businessman and stop having sense of entitlement.

He is doing it first in Nigeria, so applaud him.

If all the self acclaimed billionaires in Anambra replicated this gesture, nobody from there will be jumping bus to the west on daily basis

AnanseK:


There is no oil in the East my friend. The Nigerian oil is in the South South. The oil in the East is Palm Oil and it’s total is not upto one of hundreds of palm kernel farms in Malaysia.

Abeg help me tell the EASTERNER ooo
How many states in the so called EAST have oil?
But they have told them on radio Biafra that all the resources in Nigeria are in Igbo land. And sadly, even educated folks tend to swallow that nonsense from badly enlightened tribal jigoists.

ArewaNorth:
Read the letter and you will see how he made his intentions clear. This unnecessary bigotry and spread of hate is needless. This is just the start and the operation hasn't yet taken off yet.
Dangote's wealth and her source are well known beyong ur bigotry, he refused to enter oil sector earlier because of ppl like u who will smear his name. Ask Yorubas, they're the major beneficiaries of his wealth in terms of jobs and economy. Most of his foremost trustees are Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba because they make themselves worth the trust. Keep going peddling the drugs to Malaysia and Cambodian and see if u can be employable for such jobs.
Tolerate others and make ur environment peaceful fornon-indigines business to thrive and u will see Dangote there. Now BUA is making his refinery at Akwa Ibom, this Eastern oil u keep repeating is nonsensical and misleading.
Oil pipeline to the North is a long term plan to channel oil from Delta to Europe but it will go through Northern Nigeria, Niger Republic, Sahara, Algeria, and go to Europe, this is business and the AKK pipeline is funded by PPP mostly private companies.
Business know no tribe or religion.

The funny thing is that Igbos are actually well represented in the Dangote Group
The company secretary (which is one of the highest possible posts in a publicly listed corporate) is /was an igbo person
Some of his biggest distributors are igbo
Its only low level folks that dwell on tribal sentiments
The upper echelon are bothered with collaborations and making money

Hehehe....I find your submission funny. The reason he is doing this is because of his affiliation somewhat with the schools. If he has affiliation with other schools in the South, I am very sure kind gestures like this would be extended to such institutions. And between this business is private not a Governmet institution, he may decide who and where to hire from, it is within scope!

A refinery that is domiciled in the South will have Engineers from North working on it. No Catchment Quota for even host community. This is the type of Nigeria some people are ready to die for.

We have issue in this country, the fact that the sch is in the north doesn't mean that all the students are all northerners, I'm a graduate of atbu and i can authoritative tell u that they are more southerners in atbu faculty of engineering than northerners.

This is actually a great move

He knows what he is doing. Southerners should go and build their own from scratch and leave the alleged quota dullards to be operators in Dangote's ready made system.

RodgersAkpafu:

Illegal exploration is what is polluting the waters in the Niger Delta

Illegal oil refining by locals and the numerous oil spills from exploration and production activities by NOCs and IOCs are responsible for the pollution in the Niger Delta.

In saner climes, those companies would be fined heavily and asked to cleanup their mess but in Nigeria, everything is politics and brown envelope for corrupt govt. official and the whole thing will be swept under the carpet.

It's a private refinery. Dangote can hire only his relations if he so wishes. National character does not apply to private companies.

Catchment areas applies also only to public corporations and companies. Host communities negotiate conditions with private companies before the commencement of the project. If host communities see employment of their people as paramount, they would have demanded a percentage of jobs from the beginning, but we know how host communities operate in Nigeria. They prefer to collect cash and share now now instead of long term benefits

Local chiefs have taken bribes
Its standard procedure to clean up when there is a spill
But you cant eat your cake and have it
You collect bribe
You suffer the spill

DubaiLandLord:
I'm sure he will employ students from the South too as time goes.

But do not forget dangote refinery is a private owned company. And the oil is from the South South Geopolitical Region.

GEJ should have done something about how more Northerners were getting employed into the NNPC, but the weakening did nothing about it.

He was busy looting.

I WILL REMIND YOU ALL YOU AND YOUR god TINUBU SAID ABOUT NIGER/DELTA PEOPLE AND GEJ WHEN ITS TIME TO BEG FOR VOTE.

Not everyone sees life from the stained view point of tribe.
The Yoruba race are arguably the most enlightened and civilized in Nigeria as far as education and sense is concerned.
They are not a ruderless tribe led by the lowest criminal elements in their society.
They are strategic and deliberate.
If you leave me, the Yoruba nation has a higher chance of successfully seceding from Nigeria. And they are self sustaining with all the structures and infrastructure.

Now Buhari is there doing what he likes we are complaining. Well southerner had their chances they don’t know how to help and promote themselves especially those is the east and south south.

Oga rest abeg.. you can't know Yorubas more than a Yoruba man. Our people are just too dull and it pains me.

In 10years from now, I hope you'd be able to say this rubbish when Dangote turns to a menace in South West. By right, graduates of Lagos varsities and the indigenes should have more stake in the project than graduates from far away Bauch and Kano. Hausa man dey play Hausa sense with you, you're here talking trash. Go to NNPC and see what they are doing, you'd marvel.

Okwyjesus:


That's the north for you. Do Bauchi have better Engr than FUTO and FUTA

The inverse of the question is also valid.
Does FUTO and FUTA have better Engineers than ATBU?

Is engineering now an exclusive entitlement of the Igbo tribe?
Is engineering even tribal now?
How many people from any other part of Nigeria did Innoson for example, recruit in his company.
Is Nigerian government not the biggest client of Innoson motors?
Why did the so called Easterners not protest for justice for other tribes.
There is a reason a tribe becomes hated and detested. the reason is usually provided by the tribe itself.

ArewaNorth:
Dangote oil Refinery absorbs 3 consecutive set of ATBU Engineering Graduates

Dangote has directed the absorption of Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering Graduates from ATBU, Bauchi who graduated between 2019-2021.
Dangote who is the Chancellor of KUST Wudil, Kano has promised to do the same to the University since 2016 while Engineering Graduates from ABU and other universities have been benefitting from such recruitments. This is in line with his commitment to recruit Young Engineers across the the Nation into his multibillion dollar oil refinery.

Wow!

This is the type of news I love to hear about.
