The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has disowned a recruitment advertisement purportedly by the corporation currently trending in the social media.


The corporation in a statement by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, Mr Ndu Ughamadu, in Abuja on Wednesday, described the advertisement as phoney.

It advised unsuspecting members of the public to be wary of the scam.

โ€œThe advertisement, set in NNPCโ€™s corporate colour with its logo and a corporate picture, sets candidatesโ€™ entry requirements to include Masterโ€™s degree, Bachelorโ€™s degree, Higher National Diploma (HND) and National Diploma, is fake.

โ€œThe recruitment announcement or invitation to recruitment interview of this nature appearing intermittently in the social media should be discountenanced,โ€™โ€™ it said

According to the statement, the NNPC is not carrying out any recruitment exercise now.

โ€œThe National Oil Company dissociated itself from the fake e-mail address to which unsuspecting prospects were asked to direct their Curriculum Vitae in the placement advert,โ€™โ€™ it added.


The corporation further reminded job seekers to note the antics of scammers who deploy, on social media platforms, such communication strategies as text messages, vacancy announcements and forged letters inviting them for non-existing job interviews.

These, it said, were tricks to extort money from them, and cautioned that any applicant who entertained such invitations would have himself or herself to blame.

It encouraged those who had already fallen victims to volunteer information to the law enforcement agencies.

The corporation stated that it would as usual advertise at appropriate time, vacancies in the corporation through the national dailies.
