The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) has officially begun shortlisting candidates for the next stage of its 2024 recruitment exercise.
This follows the completion of the application process for both Graduate Trainees and Experienced roles.
The shortlisted candidates are set to proceed to the Computer-Based Test (CBT) aptitude test, which is scheduled to take place on December 7, 2024.
Candidates who have been successful in the first stage of the recruitment process have begun receiving notifications via email.
Some of the candidates have taken to social media platform X to share their excitement upon receiving the shortlisting emails.
“NNPCL has officially informed me that I’ve been shortlisted for the CBT stage,” one candidate shared. “I’m thrilled and ready to take on the challenge!”
The recruitment process is a crucial part of NNPCL’s efforts to strengthen its workforce, focusing on talent acquisition for both fresh graduates and seasoned professionals.
In an official statement, NNPCL emphasized the importance of a transparent and merit-based recruitment process.
“We value diversity and inclusivity, and we assess each applicant solely on their qualifications, skills, and suitability for the role,” the statement read.
The corporation assured all applicants that the selection process would be carried out with respect and fairness.
As part of the recruitment process, NNPCL outlined that any applicant failing to meet the required standards at any stage would have their application discontinued.
“NNPC Limited reserves the right to discontinue your application if, at any stage of the process, you fail to meet the required standard,” the statement further stated.
The Computer-Based Test (CBT) will be held in various locations across the country. Candidates are advised to check their emails regularly for updates on test venues and other important details.
In an effort to assist candidates in their preparations, some applicants have shared past questions on social media, hoping to help others who are progressing to the next stage.
“Good luck to all shortlisted candidates!” one of the applicants wrote in a tweet, offering past questions to fellow candidates. “Here are some past questions that might help you prepare.”
While the CBT test is just one part of the recruitment process, it plays a significant role in determining which candidates will move forward to the next phase.
The exam will test applicants’ aptitude in various areas that are relevant to the roles available within NNPCL.
NNPCL’s recruitment exercise is part of its broader efforts to expand its operations and ensure it has the right talent to meet the demands of the oil and gas sector.
This initiative comes at a time when NNPCL is also working on boosting crude oil production and gas supplies.
Recent developments have seen NNPCL ramping up crude oil production to 1.8 million barrels per day and increasing gas output to 7.4 billion standard cubic feet per day.
With the recruitment process now underway, NNPCL is sending a clear message to job seekers: they are committed to attracting the best talent for their growing operations.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work with one of Nigeria’s most influential corporations, contributing to the country’s energy sector development.
For those who have been shortlisted, this next stage of the recruitment process is a critical opportunity.
Candidates are encouraged to prepare thoroughly for the CBT, which will be a major step towards securing a role with NNPCL.
The company has expressed its hope that this process will attract the brightest minds to support its goals and contribute to the nation’s energy future.
“Good luck to all the shortlisted candidates,” NNPCL concluded in their message. “We wish you success in the next stage.”
The recruitment process remains competitive, and as December 7 approaches, all eyes will be on the next steps for those hoping to join NNPCL.
