The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has warned jobseekers to disregard rumours that there is employment slots within the company available for sale.
The state-owned oil giant made it clear that there is no truth to these claims, which it described as fraudulent schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting applicants.
In a statement released on Saturday, August 17 and signed by Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC stressed that the company does not engage in any form of inducement in its recruitment process.
He urged the public to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to scammers who seek to take advantage of those eager for job opportunities.
The statement reads:
TimesNow.com.ng had earlier reported that a young Nigerian lady, Favour Onaruyi-Obasuyi, took her unemployment frustration to LinkedIn as she spoke about her several failed attempts at getting a job.
In a long post, the lady revealed that she has been jobless since November 2020.
Between that year and now, she applied for more than 1,000 job opportunities, and they all hit a rock.
For the few that she was able to get an interview, their salaries, according to her, were very low.
Favour said even people stopped accepting her LinkedIn connection requests, which she reasoned could have been caused by her job-seeking situation.
