National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said that more than 1,000 graduate trainees it recruited recently will assume duty on Monday, May 2020, a step it said marks the successful completion of the 2019/2020 recruitment exercise by the Corporation.
The trainees had completed online documentation, and will commence virtual onboarding on Monday.
According to the NNPC’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr Kennie Obateru, the trainees will assume duty, first virtually while the corporation monitors the COVID -19 situation and the Federal Government’s directives to determine a date of physical assumption of duty.
NNPC noted that the option of virtual assumption of duty was necessitated by the need to comply with extant protocol on social distancing and reduced number of people in workplace, among other measures that have been introduced by government as a result of the pandemic.
Congratulating the successful graduate trainees, the Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Mallam Mele Kyari told the trainees that much was expected of them.
Stating that the recruitment and resumption of the trainees were part of his succession plans to assure the future of NNPC group, Kyari said the assumption of duty of the graduate trainees marks the successful completion of the 2019/2020 recruitment exercise.
He said NNPC as an equal opportunity employer with business interests across the Oil & Gas Industry value chain will continue to recruit the best hands in order to buoy its operations nationwide.
