No fewer than 45,689 applicants, today, December 7, sat for a Computer-Based Aptitude Test as part of the recruitment process to secure employment at Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
The aptitude test, administered at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Centenary Resource Centre in Maitama, Abuja, as well as at various other testing centres across Nigeria, marked the second stage of the rigorous recruitment process that began earlier this year.
Recall that on July 25, 2024, the company announced openings for new entrants into the company.
The NNPCL spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, in a statement, had said that the recruitment would be for various positions across various departments within the energy company and interested applicants to visit the NNPCL careers page for application instructions.
In a new post on its official Facebook handle to update the public on the process on Saturday, the national oil firm reiterated that only the most qualified candidates would be selected for employment at the end of the exercise.
The post read: “As the Computer-Based Aptitude Test for NNPC Ltd.’s recruitment begins today at various centres across the country, 45,689 applicants compete in a transparent and inclusive recruitment process.”
This is even as the NNPCL Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari, paid a visit to the centre, and promised a smooth, transparent, fair, and credible process.
“As an equal opportunity employer, NNPC Ltd. 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,” the statement added.
