No fewer than 60,000 candidates on Saturday sat for Computer Based Test (CBT) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) recruitment exercise in the country.<\/p>\n
Mr Isaiah Inuwa, Chief Operating Officer Corporate Services, disclosed this to newsmen while monitoring some of the CBT centres in Abuja.<\/p>\n
He said that the exam was ongoing in about 94 centers in 22 states.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you see here is on going in about 94 centres in 22 states across the federation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the candidates are scheduled with time. Some 8am, some 9am and the questions are not the same because they are computer generated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that the corporation in collaboration with some instituition worked together to ensure the success of the programme.<\/p>\n
NAN observed that at the various centres while some had finished the test, others were awaiting and some were being accredited.<\/p>\n
Some of the the candidates who spoke to NAN said that the process had been transparent so far.<\/p>\n
Mr Nkwouh Charles, a candidate at Sanscon International School center in Maitama said: \u201cThe process was smooth, we were identified and given accreditation. There was no confusion here and they started in good time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wrote for graduate category and I am just coming out from the exam hall. I am very hopeful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI commended the NNPC for this, this is the first time I have been invited for an interview since I have been applying for jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not know anybody but short listing me in the first place gave me hope that this process will work.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that since I have gotten to this stage that I will be successful. I am very hopeful,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody had told us anything but I learnt that they did not start early here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will wait until it is my turn but I am not happy with the delay in time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
