Applicants jostling for jobs at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited started their computer-based aptitude test on Saturday.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, NNPC said that the exercise will be transparent, noting that only qualified candidates will be considered for all the available positions.
“As an equal opportunity employer, NNPC Ltd. has made special provisions to ensure that applicants with disabilities can take the test without any hindrance”, the statement said.
