Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), has visited the many centres where the Computer-based Aptitude Test for recruitment is held.

Reports indicate that Kyari visited the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Centenary Resource Centre in Maitama, Abuja centre, to ensure a smooth and transparent recruitment exercise.

About 45,689 candidates are sitting for the CBT test. This test will determine candidates’ suitability for the job.

The competition for the company's jobs started last month when the state oil firm announced vacancies in various positions within the company.

Last week, unsuccessful candidates shared on social media emails they received from the NNPC, announcing the foreclosure on their chances of securing the job.

Before the CBT test, NNPC spokesman Olufemi Soneye revealed that the company had shortlisted candidates.

The NNPC made special provisions to ensure that applicants with disabilities could take the test without hindrance.

The GCEO reiterated that only the most qualified applicants would be selected for employment.
