NNPC limited recruitment scam

This is not the first time the national oil company has cautioned the public to shun false recruitment claims.

In October 2021, the defunct Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said it was not recruiting, an announcement repeated in December 2021.

In August 2017, the NNPC warned job seekers to be wary of fraudsters claiming the corporation was recruiting.

Also, in September 2023, Legit.ng reported that rumours surfaced that NNPC Limited breached its established recruitment process to hire 35 people.

The rumours came after the NNPCL sacked top management staff less than 15 months before their scheduled retirement date from the oil company.

ThisDay reports that there were claims that NNPC Limited developed a rigid hiring process that cannot be altered since becoming a limited corporation according to the Companies and Allied Matters Act.
