The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has refuted rumours of selling employment slots to Nigerians and anyone who wishes to buy.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, the oil company condemned such rumours as the actions of scammers seeking to take advantage of naive applicants.
The national oil firm urged Nigerians to dismiss such allegations and warned against paying anyone for a position with 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.”
