The National Leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has rejected the alleged anti-poor and anti-masses recruitment requirements of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp[oration (NNPC).
NANS alleged that it was a deliberate and well-structured resolve to play out many graduates, especially those from the poor background.
The student body said it is no longer news, that regular occurrences of incessant strikes have long marred the education sector of the country.
“Therefore, ordinarily an undergraduate that applied for a four or five-year programme will eventually end up staying nine or 10 years on campus pursuing a bachelor degree.
NANS, however, called on NNPC ultimatum to withdraw within 72-hours all alleged anti-poor and anti-masses conditions.
“Failure to comply with this ultimatum, NANS will move out en-mass to protest or shut down the activities of NNPC.”
The criteria for Graduate Trainee among others require applicants to have graduated from an accredited University/Polytechnic/Monotechnic not earlier than 2014.
The criteria also required that applicants must not be more than 28 years of age at December 31, 2018.
