The
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has warned members of the public
that the corporation was not undertaking any recruitment, hence they should be
wary of fraudsters.
According
to a disclaimer on its website on Thursday, the corporation said unsuspecting
members of the public were being lured by various means into fraudulent job
interviews.
It
said some fraudulent persons had been using various dubious means, ranging from
text messages, social media platforms to forged letters, to invite unsuspecting
members of the public for job interviews in a purported recruitment by the
corporation.
“For
the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state that NNPC is currently not recruiting
and will not demand payment in any form for any job placement.
“The
NNPC will advertise all vacant positions whenever it is ready to embark on a
recruitment.
“Members
of the public, particularly unsuspecting applicants, should be wary of
fraudulent invitations for job interviews at the NNPC Towers, Abuja, or indeed
any of its offices or subsidiaries.
“Anyone
who entertains such invitations or deals with peddlers of such invitations,
does so at his or her own risk.
“Anyone
contacted for the purpose of the purported recruitment, other than through
advertisement duly placed by the corporation in national newspapers, should not
hesitate to report such invitations to relevant law enforcement agencies.’’
The
Internet has been besieged by claims of a 2017 recruitment by the NNPC with
purported forms, interview dates and vacancies within the corporation. (NAN)
