As the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) commences its much-anticipated recruitment aptitude test today, no fewer than 45,689 applicants are vying for positions across various departments within the energy giant.
The Computer-Based Aptitude Test, taking place at multiple centers nationwide, marks the second crucial stage in NNPCL’s thorough recruitment process, which began earlier this year.
The test is being administered at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Centenary Resource Centre in Maitama, Abuja, with additional centers set up across the country to accommodate the vast number of applicants.
This rigorous recruitment initiative, announced in July 2024, is expected to bring fresh talent into NNPCL, one of Nigeria’s most significant state-owned corporations.
NNPCL’s spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, in a statement, highlighted that the recruitment drive targets various positions within the company and emphasized that candidates selected will be those deemed most qualified through a transparent and fair process.
The recruitment is the first major exercise since NNPCL officially transformed into a limited liability company in 2022.
Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) Mele Kyari, who visited one of the testing centers today, reiterated the company’s commitment to a smooth, credible, and inclusive recruitment process.
“We are an equal opportunity employer, and special provisions have been made to ensure applicants with disabilities can participate without barriers,” Kyari said.
