The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has deployed over 1,000 young professionals into its workforce after a one-year internship, intensive training and evaluation programme.
The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, Bayo Ojulari, disclosed this in a post on its social media handles, describing the exercise as a major milestone for the national oil company.
According to Ojulari, the newly deployed employees emerged from a rigorous process that included internships, training and performance assessment.
“Today marked a huge milestone for us as we officially deployed over 1,000 young professionals into NNPC Ltd after one year of internship, intensive training, and evaluation,” he said.
Ojulari noted that the recruitment exercise reflected the company’s commitment to merit-based employment rather than personal connections or background.
“Different paths, but the same door. And we opened it. That’s what NNPC Limited stands for today: not who you know or where you’re from, but what you can do,” he stated.
The NNPC boss added that while offer letters secured entry into the organisation, the employees’ performance during the internship year earned them permanent deployment.
