Attention: xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

I am Barrister Sylvester Nnaji, Immigration attorney mandated by Nigerian Agip Oil Company to assist you on the Immigration procedures. There are three stages involved in the employment of expatriates in NIGERIA.

1, Request for cable visa
2, Application for subject to regulation visa (STR VISA)
3, Regularization of stay.

Once the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has approved the request for cable visa, it will be forwarded to the NIGERIAN EMBASSY who will issue you a S.T.R VISA. The regularization of stay is done here in NIGERIA on your arrival.

Firstly before I proceed with the application to the Nigeria Embassy in your location to give you a STR VISA, I have to first of all get you your Expatriate Quota Approval Letter
and Cable Visa from the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Nigeria.
You are to send me the following required documents so that I can make an application for you with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for the approval of your Resident/worker's
Permit, Cable Visa (which is a per-requisite for STR Visa) and Expatriate Quota.

1. Proof of vaccination against yellow fever.
2. Medical fitness report (HIV, HEPATITIS B)
3. Nigeria expatriate travelers insurance policy certificate (NETIP)
4. A scanned copy of your international passport.
5. Letter of Acceptance of Job Offer

THE NIGERIA EXPATRIATE TRAVELERS INSURANCE POLICY (NETIP) COVER is a mandatory requirement by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) this is because the policy is proves that you are medically fit; to work in Nigeria and also it is a per-requisite to renew your resident/worker's permit every year. The NETIP should have benefits to the tune of $9,000 000.00 (NINE MILLION US DOLLARS) and the duration is one year, it should include benefits for loss of luggage, repatriations, medical, permanent disability and death etc.
The preferred insurance company by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) is NICON INSURANCE PLC, is a Nigerian government owned insurance company located in Nigeria, so you are to look for their agent in your location. After you have applied for the NETIP policy, you will be issued a certificate. You are to send me a copy of the certificate Issued via electronically as attachment.

Attached is the Nigerian Immigration Services form, you are to go through it carefully before filling it properly.On confirmation from the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for of the approval of your cable visa, expatriate quota resident/worker's permit, it will be forwarded to the Nigerian Embassy in your location.
You will be invited from the Nigerian Embassy in your location for a brief interview for your S.T.R visa. The form attached is in PDF format, which means you need adobe acrobat to open it.
These are the vital procedures which you must adhere to because it is in accordance to the" Expatriate Statutory Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria".

Yours truly,

Hi

Thank goodness for this website.

how do we stop these people from praying on innocent people who are out of work and desperate to feed their families?

Does ENI (who is actually AGIP) know this is going on and do they know that there is the following website up validating their scam services?

This is their one website:
ttp://www.agiprecruitment.zoomshare.com/2.html

The Nigerian Agip Oil Company(AGIP) has mandated the following firms to recruit and employ individuals from various disciplines for the projects in Nigeria.

Adamac Group of Companies
Nigeria West Africa.




Zeashore Consultant Services
Nigeria.
Global Recruitment Inc;
London – WC1V 7NA – UK.


Alpha Engineering Services,
Nigeria.

Formosa Consulting services,
Nigeria.

Environquest Engineering Limited

EMPLOYMENT PROCEEDURES:

To be a certified employee with the AGIP Nigeria;
After proper recruitment by our authorised recruitment agencies for ongoing projects, all sucessfull candidates are to process and procure documents as will be directed by our recruitment agencies.


NOTE:
