A Nigerian man made a significant sacrifice to attend an interview exam with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited, choosing to miss his own wedding as both events fell on the same day.
An X user, @young_engr_, shared the story, revealing that the man is his colleague.
According to the X post, the man’s wedding and recruitment exam fell on the same day, but he prioritized the exam, missing his own wedding.
His decision earned him the nickname “Angon NNPC” from his colleagues.
Fortunately, he secured the job on merit, without any connections, according to the post.
The post reads; “My colleague whose wedding was on the same day with the recruitment exam, man went for the exam and didn’t attend the wedding, we all start calling him angon NNPC from then, Alhamdulillah he got the job with no connection, whatever you do in this life trust Allah.”
