The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has announced a major recruitment initiative, seeking talented individuals for various positions across its departments. This marks one of the largest hiring efforts since NNPC's transformation into a limited company in 2022. The NNPC spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, confirmed the recruitment in a statement on Friday, directing interested candidates to visit the NNPC careers page for application details.
The announcement has led to an unprecedented surge in traffic to the NNPC careers website, causing slow load times and technical issues. Applicants have reported encountering 404 errors when trying to access the site. Soneye assured that the company's technical team is working diligently to resolve these issues and that the application deadline remains August 20, 2024.
The overwhelming response underscores the high demand for positions at NNPC, as the company continues to expand its workforce. The recruitment drive is expected to attract a large number of applicants, further solidifying NNPC's role as a leading employer in Nigeria's energy sector.
