No fewer than 60,000 candidates sat Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC test which held today across the country.

The Chief Operating Officer Corporate Services, Mr Isaiah Inuwa, disclosed this to newsmen while monitoring some of the CBT centres in Abuja.

He said that the exam was ongoing in about 94 centers in 22 states.

“This is fantastic, you can see everything is going on well. We have two centres here and you see the orderly way people are being screened for accreditation.

“What you see here is on going in about 94 centres in 22 states across the federation.

“This is another way the corporation is showing transparency in carrying out its activities and this has also given Nigerians the opportunity to hold their leaders accountable.

“All the candidates are scheduled with time. Some 8am, some 9am and the questions are not the same because they are computer generated,” he said.

He said that the corporation in collaboration with some institution worked together to ensure the success of the programme.

Some of the the candidates who spoke to newsmen said that the process had been transparent so far.

Mr Nkwouh Charles, a candidate at Sanscon International School center in Maitama said:

“The process was smooth, we were identified and given accreditation. There was no confusion here and they started in good time.

“I wrote for graduate category and I am just coming out from the exam hall. I am very hopeful,” he said.

Mr Abraham Joshua, at JC Best International School centre Life camp, said that apart from not starting in good time, acreditation was fast and okay.

“I commended the NNPC for this, this is the first time I have been invited for an interview since I have been applying for jobs.

“I do not know anybody but short listing me in the first place gave me hope that this process will work.

“I believe that since I have gotten to this stage that I will be successful. I am very hopeful,” he added.

But Mr Tunji Ade at the same centre who was supposed to write at 10am but as at 11.30am had not gotten acredidattion frowned at the delay.

“Nobody had told us anything but I learnt that they did not start early here.

“I will wait until it is my turn but I am not happy with the delay in time,” he said.

Armed security personnel were present at the various centres visited within the FCT.

Are they doing it in batches? I'll be glad to know...

I was among the 8am batch at JC best schools Abuja. The experience today was horrible, we couldn't write the exam depite being on ground since 8am. We were later moved in a convoy of buses around 2:40pm to another school within Gwarinpa to write the exam. I just got home with pains in my body and headaches. Today is one day I won't forget in a hurry.

Pèlè, And I was complaining about my center that we were delayed for an hour and a half.

And even with all d struggle, they will accept those who paid the bribe price.

Seriously

60,000 candidates for how many available positions?

the quest to secure a job is on the increase

God help us all

okay

First time in the history of Nigeria nnpc exam is done openly

I thought they said about 25 million apply for it

people still never understand how FG jobs work... 60,000 learners

60,000 wrote the test, yet the real owners of the available slots, who didn't even take the assessment will soon be handed their employment letters.

Nigeria I hail your corruption o

I’d love to see this man write the exams too and his qualifications

Am still waiting to know how many northern guys dat will pass dis exam

This is an improvement, at least there was an aptitude test. Something they have not done in a long time

Why are you obsessed with 'northern guys'? Or has your brain been gradually saturated with the ill informed notion that northerners do not get appointment meritoriously? If yes, you have fallen into a deep abyss and I pray you emerge from it soon.

If NNPC goes ahead to recruit on 'who-you-know' principle, it will not be about the north vs south, islam vs Christianity...., but an interclass struggle between the elite and the masses. The elitist class will distribute the slots among themselves, using their own quota system. Just go and do a check into recent recruitment drives by 'lucrative' govt agencies e.g. CBN, DPR, FIRS etc, and you will most likely validate what I stated.

Hmm, only God knows the remaining slot this 60k folks are contesting for.

Hope they will make the recruitment process truly transparent..

Anyways, the questions were not that difficult.
To all of us who will meet at the next phase, congratulations.

Apparently, he doesn't know the difference between an aptitude test and an interview.

Too bad!

I know there is corruption in Nigeria, but the thing is, NNPC can't take up to 5000 of the 60000.

The rest in their disappointment will think that the 5000 got in by connections. When it is a matter of some get in, some don't
