"Dragnet who is an online IT service provider was contracted by Chevron Nigeria Limited to facilitate the chevron aptitude test, majority of the candidates that participated virtually said that the system was completely shut down for over 2 hours causing an unpleasant disrupt in the test, and in some cases the dragnet system was irresponsive for over an hour, while some candidates could not gain access into the test platform despite completing the pre-test assessment earlier.

"This abnormality has caused a massive disrupt and affected qualified candidates who were scheduled for the aptitude test on Saturday 26th of October, 2024 from either completing the process or denied them access. 

"Some candidates who had earlier sent emails to Dragnet and contacted their customer services 07001237880 stating this challenge were ignored.

"Stakeholders in Nigeria and diaspora are calling on Chevron Nigeria Limited to investigate thoroughly on the dragnet system and reschedule exam otherwise this system would be tagged compromised and not a true and fair assessment. 

"We are also calling on Chevron Nigeria Limited to reconsider a physical examination for qualified participants in the rural communities so as to effectively participate in this exercise."
