No fewer than 45,689 applicants yesterday commenced the Computer-Based Aptitude Test as part of the recruitment process to secure employment at Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.

The aptitude test, currently being administered at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Centenary Resource Centre in Maitama, Abuja, as well as at various other testing centres across Nigeria, marks the second stage of the rigorous recruitment process that began earlier this year.

The NNPCL had on July 25, 2024, announced openings for new entrants into the company.

The NNPC spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, in a statement, said the recruitment would be for various positions across various departments within the energy company and interested applicants to visit the NNPC careers page for application instructions.

But in a new post on its official Facebook handle to update the public on the process yesterday, the national oil firm reiterated that only the most qualified candidates would be selected for employment at the end of the exercise.

The post read: “As the Computer-Based Aptitude Test for NNPC Ltd.’s recruitment begins today at various centres across the country, 45,689 applicants compete in a transparent and inclusive recruitment process.”

The NNPCL Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari, who paid a visit to the centre, promised a smooth, transparent, fair, and credible process.

“As an equal opportunity employer, NNPC Ltd. has made special provisions to ensure that applicants with disabilities can take the test without any hindrance.

“The GCEO reiterated that only the most qualified candidates among the 45,689 applicants will be selected for employment,” the statement added.
