NNPC new staff to assume virtual duty May 4 – Obateru

No fewer than 1,000 graduate trainees recently recruited by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are to assume virtual duty Monday, May 4, the corporation says in a statement.

The statement released in Abuja on Thursday was signed by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr Kennie Obateru.

“The trainees are to assume duty first, virtually, while the corporation monitors the COVID -19 situation and the Federal Government’s directives to determine a date of physical assumption of duty,” he said.

He explained that the option of virtual assumption of duty was necessitated by the need to comply with extant protocol on social distancing and reduced number of people in workplace.

The NNPC spokesman said the trainees had completed online documentation, and would commence virtual onboarding on Monday.

He said that Managing Director of the corporation, Malam Mele Kyari, was excited about the assumption of duty of the new intakes noting that they were part of the succession plan to assure the future of NNPC.

He added that Kyari congratulated the successful graduate trainees, adding that much was expected of them.

Obateru said that the assumption of duty of the graduate trainees marked the successful completion of the 2019/2020 recruitment.

According to him, in pursuance of excellence, NNPC as an equal opportunity employer with business interests across the Oil & Gas Industry value chain, would continue to recruit the best hands in order to buoy its operations nationwide.

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran US President Donald Trump, has vetoed the Iran War Powers resolution agreed by the Senate and House of Representatives, calling it a "very insulting resolution" and argued the move of the Lawmakers was "based on misunderstandings of facts and law" in a statement. The bipartisan resolution was created to limit Trump's authority to use military force against Iran without congressional approval, after the President's decision to order a strike that killed Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in January. Before a resolution is made a law in the US, the Senate, House of Reps have to vote on it, when an agreement is reached it is then sent to the White House for the President to sign. Presidents sometimes veto laws, but the US Senate must have over 2/3rds of votes to override a President's veto, a scenario unlikely to occur. Trump in a statement issued by the ...

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday renewed his widely contested charge that the coronavirus pandemic likely originated in a Chinese laboratory, but acknowledged there was no certainty. Pompeo renewed his call for global pressure on China to provide more data on the origins of the illness, which has killed more than 250,000 people worldwide and hobbled the global economy. “We don’t have certainty, and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory. Those statements can both be true,” the former CIA chief told reporters when pressed on his statements. “The American people remain at risk because we do not know … whether it began in the lab or whether it began someplace else,” he said. “There’s an easy way to find out the answer to that — transparency, openness — the kinds of things that nations do when they really want to be part of solving a global pandemic.” Pompeo ha...
