“NNPC Ltd is pleased to announce that we are hiring for multiple positions across various departments. We are looking for talented and dedicated individuals to join our team. Visit our careers page for application details,” Mr. Soneye said.
He also mentioned that the company’s career page is experiencing slow load times due to an unprecedented number of visitors. “Our technical team is working diligently to resolve the issue. Please note that the application deadline remains August 20, 2024,” he added.
This recruitment is the first since the company fully transitioned into a limited liability company.
In July 2022, former President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled the new Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, marking the transformation of the oil firm from a wholly state-run entity to a commercially oriented company limited by shares.
This legal transition, based on the new Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), took effect on July 1. The NNPC completed its incorporation in September 2021, shortly after the PIA was signed into law by President Buhari.
The new entity operates as a profit-driven national petroleum company independent of the government, although government bodies remain its shareholders. It will be audited annually.
In February 2023, the company officially took over the assets of the nation’s oil company after 46 years of operation as a corporation.
This transition followed the completion of legal requirements within the 18-month period specified in section 54 (3) of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021. The company now operates under the regulations of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).
