A massive influx of job applications has caused technical issues on the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited’s website, leading to slow load times and difficulties for applicants.
This is coming hours after the NNPC announced that it is set to hire new workers.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited had announced a major recruitment, seeking talented and dedicated individuals to fill various positions across its departments.
However, the overwhelming response from job seekers has put a strain on the company’s website, resulting in technical glitches.
Checks by Chronicle NG show a 404 error on the website.

“Due to unprecedented traffic to the NNPC Ltd. career page from applicants applying for vacancies, the site is currently experiencing slow load times.
“Our technicians are working diligently to rectify the problem as quickly as possible.
“Please be assured that the application process deadline remains August 20, 2024,” the NNPC confirmed in a statement on X.
Chronicle NG reports that the recruitment exercise may be the largest since Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s transformation into a limited company in 2022.
