The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has openly debunked all the reports that claimed that it had been recruiting for some fresh positions. They have announced that they are not actually recruiting, putting an end to the claims that there are vacant positions in the organisation.
The management had made this declaration in a statement issued in Abuja by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Garbadeen Muhammad.

Muhammad stated that any information suggesting that NNPC Ltd. was recruiting was false and should be disregarded.
“The general public should please take note that NNPC Ltd. is not recruiting. Whenever the company intends to recruit, an announcement will be made using our official website – (www.nnpcgroup.com); verified Twitter handle (@nnpcgroup); verified Facebook page (@nnpcgroup) and other credible media channels,’’ he stated.
The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari had also previosuly explained why he believes the country’s moribund refineries cannot be quickly restored as has been requested.
He made this known while speaking in Abuja yesterday when he appeared before the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream). Kyari pointed out that the situation was regrettable but the NNPC was making efforts to bring the refineries back to work.
The committee is investigating the increase in prices of diesel and cooking gas.
‘The refineries will not come back tomorrow. There is a process going on. We have decided to do a quick fix for the Warri refinery,’ the NNPC boss said.
He said no one could guarantee the security of petroleum supply, adding that countries were preserving excess volume that they had in their kitty.
He said, ‘The world has never seen this kind of uncertainty. Today countries are stockpiling products. Shortly before COVID-19, the world was already facing a shortfall of 3 million barrels of supply of oil.’
The GMD said there had been no control to manage the energy crisis across the world, adding that, ‘to guarantee energy security means you just make products available at any time and at any cost.’
He disclosed that across the country, making over 200 illegal refineries were being operated.
