Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has called on members of the public to be at alert on the activities of some fraudsters who are allegedly selling employment slots in the Company.
A statement signed by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer (CCCO), Olufemi Soneye, and made available to Tribune Online on Saturday in Abuja, cautioned job seekers, members of the public, and Nigerians in general against being swindled by unscrupulous elements who want to take undue advantage by offering job through the back door.
“The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPCL) has called on members of the public, especially job seekers, 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,” the statement read.
The statement added 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.
