The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has disclaimed a media report that it is recruiting for the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC).
The national oil company made the disclaimer in a press release, on Friday, by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye.
NNPCL, in the disclaimer, urged members of the public to discountenance the purported recruitment announcement for the (PHRC) as being circulated in certain online platforms.
It attributed the purported recruitment link being circulated to the handiwork of fraudsters who are keen on taking advantage of the newly-revamped Port Harcourt Refinery to fleece unsuspecting members of the public with a phantom recruitment announcement
The oil company clarified that there is no separate recruitment process for the PHRC other than the one which started last year.
It added that the recruitment process, started in 2024, also included all NNPCL’s businesses, with successful candidates at the Computer-Based Aptitude Test proceeding for the interview stage this week.
