NNPCL Speaks On Alleged Involvement In Secret Recruitment

Meanwhile, the NNPCL has denied reports of conducting secret recruitment without board approval.

Naija News reports that an unconfirmed report on social media had claimed that about 35 people were secretly recruited into the NNPC Limited under the leadership of Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari and are either undergoing medical examinations or writing entrance exams.

However, a source who spoke with PM News said the recruitment report was baseless and fake, emphasizing that NNPC Limited’s governance structure remains solid and intact.

The source noted that NNPC Limited’s recruitment process adheres to best governance practices and cannot be easily manipulated, adding the recent retirement and restructuring of some employees within the company may have contributed to disgruntled individuals spreading such claims.
