Twins. Two Dreams. One Opportunity

If you met them in a hallway, chances are, you’d look twice.

Hussaini and Hassan Malami are identical twins. One wears glasses. The other is slightly taller. But looking closer, I noticed something else. Hussaini is the quieter one. Hassan happily does most of the talking.

Members of the NNPC Tigers Class of 2026, their story challenges a persistent misconception about NNPC’s recruitment process.

Joining NNPC had always been Hussaini’s dream. When applications opened, he applied immediately and urged his twin to do the same.

Hassan wasn’t interested. He held back, wrongly assuming that NNPC only hired one person per family and did not want to ruin his brother’s lifelong dream.

His dream was the Nigerian Air Force and service to Nigeria. He already had a job in banking and didn’t see himself in corporate life. Besides, three older siblings, including a lawyer, an engineer and a business administrator, had all applied unsuccessfully to NNPC over the years. Their father is a retiree, but if there had ever been an "in", their siblings’ experience proved otherwise. Hassan wasn’t expecting a different outcome and only applied after his brother’s persistent encouragement, nearing the deadline.

They took a computer-based test on the same day in different cities. Hussaini in Sokoto and Hassan in Kaduna. Like every other successful candidate, after a rigorous process that included interviews, they received employment letters on the same day.

“I opened the email after midnight and wanted to wake everybody up to tell them,” Hussaini laughed.

Hassan first saw the news on the family WhatsApp group when he woke up. That’s when the pressure hit him.

“I was now nervous about the possibility of not being successful once Hussaini shared his news.”

They both got in.

Park that.

Hussaini is currently with NNPC Exploration & Production Limited (NNPC E&P Limited), while Hassan works at NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC), where he has discovered an entirely new side of Nigeria’s energy industry.

“I didn’t know there was a whole business dedicated to transporting gas,” Hassan said. “Now I’ve seen how gas powers plants and manufacturing companies...Hearing that gas is the future is one thing. Seeing how it is happening is another.”

Ironically, the brother who never wanted a corporate career now sees his job at NNPC as a form of national service. He still hopes to explore military service before he reaches the age limit in 2030, but today he is exactly where he wants to be.

For Hussaini, the experience has strengthened a lifelong dream. He also hopes to give back to his university as a guest lecturer.

“When I was in university, I only had one lecturer with field experience,” he said. “I want to share practical experience with students someday.”

Asked which NNPC culture transformation pillar best reflects their mindset, Hussaini says Enterprise First, because “giving your best to the company is giving your best to the country.”

Hassan tilts towards Execution Excellence. “I’m a civil engineer...I like seeing things come to life from concept to completion.”

Any advice to young Nigerians trying to get into NNPC? They echoed the same message:

“Ignore the rumours. You don’t need to know anybody at NNPC. Apply. Take the test and earn your place.”

At first, one notices what makes them identical. Dig a little deeper and discover what makes them different. Likewise, sometimes the stories we assume we know deserve a second look.

Today marked a huge milestone for us as we officially deployed over 1,000 young professionals into NNPC Ltd after one year of internship, intensive training, and evaluation.

During the event, I listened to some of them share their recruitment stories, raw, unscripted, and real. Different paths, but the same door. And we opened it. That's what NNPC Ltd stands for today: not who you know or where you're from, but what you can do.

Their offer letters got them in, but their work this past year kept them here. They proved themselves day after day, under real pressure, and that's the standard we're building. Talent. Hard work. Fairness.

To the over 1,000 newly deployed: you are not just our future. You are our present. Our energy. Our proof. So don't hesitate to lend your voice, share your opinions, and challenge the status quo. Own your development.

But don't forget the wait. Don't forget the process. Because one day, when you're sitting where I am, you'll remember this moment, and you'll open that same door for someone else.

Welcome. Now let's build.

Before you d!e, try & watch Messi LIVE in a stadium during a competitive match.

You see all those cheat moves for PS5 on YouTube, you will see all in real life 😭

English players thought Messi was AI.

Until its 120 minutes, never write off any team that MESSI is playing in. ❌❌

England have one task: stop Lionel Messi 🙅‍♂️

Messi is worth four players.

[Hauwa Allahbura @HauwaAllahbura]

A prayer we should all take seriously includes May we not fight so hard and do so much for friends that end up like Nuhu Ribadu and Uba Sani. May we not struggle so much to raise up our enemies to come and destroy us and may we not lose sleep or waste sweat to be part of people that would bring someone into power only to turn out in humiliations. Can I hear a loud Amin from the people at the back.

It is only a fool and a retard that would call @nnpclimited a house of thieves. If the @NGRSenate
can't be called so despite housing known thieves, NNPCL should not.
