The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has urged the public, especially job seekers to reject rumours that they can purchase employment opportunities.
The firm stated that the rumours that it is offering job slots to anyone who wants to buy are completely untrue, describing them as the actions of con men looking to exploit gullible applicants.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer at NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye via his official X handle on Saturday.
It issued a warning, saying that in its capacity as a responsible corporate body, hiring new employees follows a clear procedure that excludes any form of inducement or slot sales.
It warns that anyone who pays money to anyone for any job in the company does so at his or her own risk.
“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,” Soneye said.
