An Abuja-based lawyer, Mr. Pelumi Olajengbesi, has written a letter to the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, condemning what he described as “discriminatory recruitment process.

Olajengbesi, in the letter dated March 26, vowed to approach the court to ensure protection of the fundamental rights of Nigerians who are qualified to apply but are barred from participating because of age criteria.reports that the criteria for Graduate Trainee, among others, require applicants to have graduated from an accredited university/polytechnic/monotechnic not earlier than 2014.

Olajengbesi, however, pointed out that the criteria and process violated Section 3 of the Fundamental Rights , 2009 which protects the public interest of Nigerians. “I wish to express outright disapproval on the above set criteria used by the Corporation in the ongoing recruitment, being discriminatory, segregatory and exclusive to the disadvantage of qualified Nigerians who may wish to participate in the process.

According to him, the action of NNPC also violates Section 17 of the Nigerian Constitution which provides for the opportunity of securing adequate means of livelihood and abhors all unequal processes in the labour process.

As a public enterprise, age limit is not proper, it may not be the fault of some people if they graduate at a later age.

Illegality everywhere including in recruitment into NNPC...cabalistic recruitment

If you are employed, don't go because you are not a ministers son

Don’t mind those useless set of people, stupid process

I agree with everything. But he did loose me with his use of ‘esteemed’ to describe NNPC...

I wonder why recruit in the first place. Then what happens to other eligible graduates out as if its their fault that the country is so messed up economically.

NNPC is nothing but a cash-cow for Nigerian elites,their children and grandchildren! SoUnfortunate

🤣🤣🤣People wa don share slots finish before letting the general public know they are recruiting
