The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has issued a stern warning to jobseekers, urging them to disregard rumors suggesting that employment slots within the company are available for sale.
In a statement released on Saturday, Femi Soneye, NNPC’s spokesperson, emphasized that the recruitment process for the company is transparent and does not involve any form of financial inducement or slot purchase.
“The company states that there is no iota of truth in the insinuations that it has employment slots on offer to anyone who wishes to buy,” Soneye stated, describing such claims as tactics used by fraudsters to exploit unsuspecting applicants. He reiterated that NNPC, as a responsible corporate entity, conducts its hiring process in a straightforward manner, free from any corrupt practices.
Soneye also issued a caution to jobseekers, warning them that anyone who pays money to secure a job at NNPC does so at their own risk. “It cautions that as a responsible corporate entity, recruitment into the company is a straightforward process and does not involve the sale of slots or inducement of any kind,” the statement read.
This announcement follows NNPC’s recent call for applications for its graduate trainee programme, which opened on July 26.
