The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) announced it is set to hire more workers.

In a statement published on the company’s website on Friday, the recruitment will cover various positions across different departments within the energy company.

“NNPC Ltd is pleased to announce that we are currently hiring for multiple positions across various departments. We are seeking talented and dedicated individuals to join our team. Visit our careers page for application instructions,” Soneye stated.
