No fewer than 45,689 applicants are participating in a Computer-Based Aptitude Test today, Saturday, as part of the recruitment process for employment at Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
The aptitude test is being administered at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Centenary Resource Centre in Maitama, Abuja, and other designated testing centres across Nigeria. This marks the second stage of the rigorous recruitment process that began earlier this year.
Recall that on July 25, 2024, NNPCL announced openings for new entrants into the company. According to the NNPC spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, the recruitment spans various positions across different departments within the energy company. Interested applicants were directed to the NNPC careers page for application details.
In a new update on its official Facebook page today, the national oil firm emphasized that only the most qualified candidates would secure employment at the end of the process.
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.”
NNPCL Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari, visited one of the testing centres, pledging a smooth, transparent, fair, and credible recruitment 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. Only the most qualified candidates among the 45,689 applicants will be selected for employment,” Kyari assured.
This recruitment drive is reportedly the largest since the company transitioned into a limited liability company in 2022.
