The Management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC), has raised alarm over fake recruitment exercise in the Corporation by some syndicates with speciality in extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public.
According to a release from Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of NNPC, Ndu Ughmadu, the Corporation is not conducting any recruitment exercise, noting that the Corporation would advertise vacant positions whenever it has need to embark on a recruitment exercise.
Throwing more light on the method of operation of the fake job syndicate, Ughamadu explained that the group deploys various means ranging from text messages, social media platforms and forged letters to invite gullible job seekers for non-existing job interviews after ostensibly extorting money from them.
“To this end, we wish to once again appeal to members of the public, particularly unsuspecting applicants to be wary of fraudulent invitations for job interviews at the NNPC Towers.
Anyone who entertains such invitations or deals with peddlers of such invitation does so at his or her own risk,” the NNPC stated.
