Kennie Obateru, NNPC’s group general manager, group public affairs division, disclosed this on Thursday in a statement issued in Abuja.

He said the trainees had completed online documentation and would commence virtual onboarding by Monday.
The statement stated that the Group Managing Director, NNPC, Mele Kyari, was excited about the assumption of duty of the graduate trainees, as he noted that they were part of the succession plan to assure the corporation’s future.
Kyari congratulated the successful graduate trainees and said much was expected of them.
NNPC said the assumption of duty of the graduate trainees marked the successful completion of the 2019/2020 recruitment exercise.
