“Consequently, in addition to the recent exit of three Executive Vice Presidents, other management staff with less than fifteen (15) months to statutory retirement will be exiting the company effective Sept. 19, 2023.
“This is in line with our commitment to scale up NNPCL’s capabilities through targeted talent management and equal opportunity for all Nigerians,” the post reads.
