NNPC Ltd Denies Claims that It is Selling Employment Slots

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPC Ltd) has denied the claims making the rounds that the organisation is selling employment slots to interested applicants seeking employment at the company.

In a press statement on Saturday, Olufemi Soneye, Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Ltd., said applicants seeking employment in the current advertised vacancies in the organisation should disregard such information describing it as rumours. He added that such an information is antics used by fraudsters to take advantage of unsuspecting applicants.

Soneye stated, “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPC Ltd.) has called on members of the public, especially jobseekers, to discountenance rumours of employment slots for sale.

“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, describing such as antics of fraudsters who want to take advantage of unsuspecting applicants.

Soneye explained that NNPC Ltd is a responsible corporate entity and the employment process does not require applicants to buy any slot.

Soneye said, “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.

“It warns that anyone who pays money to anyone for any job in the company does so at his or her own risk.”
