Over 45,000 Applicants Compete As NNPC GCEO Oversees Transparent Recruitment Process

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd on Saturday commenced the Computer-Based Aptitude Test for its recruitment process at various centers across the country.

The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), Mr. Mele Kyari, visited the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Centenary Resource Centre in Maitama, Abuja, to ensure the process is smooth, transparent, fair, and credible.

The NNPC Ltd said as an equal opportunity employer, it has made special provisions to ensure that applicants with disabilities can take the test without any hindrance.

The GCEO reiterated that only the most qualified candidates among the 45,689 applicants will be selected for employment.

Earlier in June, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited opened a portal for qualified Nigerians to apply for various jobs opportunities in the organization.

Speaking on the recruitment process, the spokesperson of the company, Olufemi Soneye, said the recruitment would be for various positions across various departments within the energy company.

He directed interested applicants to visit the NNPC careers page for application instructions.

“NNPC Ltd is pleased to announce that we are currently hiring for multiple positions across various departments. We are seeking talented and dedicated individuals to join our team. Visit our careers page for application instructions,” Soneye stated.

This is the first time in five years the oil company has publicly announced the need for staff, making people question whether the process will be free and fair and simply based on candidate merits
