The website created by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to accept job applications from Nigerians crashed on Friday due to unprecedented traffic.
The national oil company confirmed the outage in a statement on its social media platforms.
The crash occurred hours after NNPCL announced it was accepting applications to fill existing vacancies in the organisation.
This newspaper further reports that the recruitment exercise became a trending topic on social media platforms, shortly after the announcement.
However, the NNPCL said, “Due to unprecedented traffic to the NNPC Ltd. career page from applicants applying for vacancies, the site is currently experiencing slow load times.”
“Our technicians are working diligently to rectify the problem as quickly as possible.
“Please be assured that the application process deadline remains August 20, 2024.”
