The recruitment portal of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited is currently inaccessible to interested applicants.
News stations from across the countries reported earlier that the petroleum company announced on Friday morning that it is hiring.
However, hours after this announcement, interested candidates have found it difficult to process their applications.
In an attempt to allay fears, the NNPC declared that its employment application website is currently facing technical issues due to an unexpected increase in user activity.
In a message on its social media account, NNPCL stated that it was actively working to resolve the issues with the website.
It maintained that the deadline for applications set for August 20 remains unchanged.
The statement reads: “Due to unprecedented traffic to the NNPC Ltd. career page from applicants applying for vacancies, the site is currently experiencing slow load times.
“Our technicians are working diligently to rectify the problem as quickly as possible. Please be assured that the application process deadline remains August 20, 2024.”
The petroleum company also reassured applicants of a transparent and merit-based recruitment process, urging capable Nigerians to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
