The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited says its job application portal is currently experiencing downtime due to “unprecedented traffic”.
On Friday, the NNPC announced a recruitment exercise for qualified applicants, which is expected to close on August 20.
Checks by TheCable showed that the agency’s website displayed server error messages.
Reacting to the issue, the national oil company said its technicians are making efforts to resolve the problems as soon as possible.
