NNPCL denies selling employment slots

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd has denied rumours of selling employment slots to Nigerians and anyone who wishes to buy.

In a statement on Saturday in Abuja signed by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, the oil firm described such rumours as antics of fraudsters who want to take advantage of unsuspecting applicants.

The national oil company called on Nigerians to disregard such rumours and warned against paying money to anyone for any job in the company.

The statement read, “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.

“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.”
