Agency Report
The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has reaffirmed commitment to Nigeria’s energy stability.
Speaking during a stakeholders’ engagement with the National Assembly Press Corps on Saturday in Abuja, the company’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, insisted that the NNPC Ltd will continue to add value to the economy.
According to Soneye, NNPCL is not just committed to fueling vehicles alone; it is also driving national progress through strategic investments and initiatives.
He said, “I’m glad to have you here again at this stakeholder engagement proudly sponsored by NNPC.
“It is truly heartwarming to see how it has brought us together. At NNPC, we believe in fueling not just vehicles but also meaningful moments like this. Tonight is another night that NNPCL will successfully power laughter and great partnerships”.
Speaking further, the NNPC Ltd spokesman said the company’s footprints across the country is an indication of its determination to impact Nigerians positively.
“We are set to perform another 1,000 surgeries in the North and an additional 1,000 in the Southeast and South-South before the end of the second quarter of 2025,” he stated.
Furthermore, he announced NNPCL’s collaboration with Afreximbank to complete the African Medical Center of Excellence (AMCE), a 500-bed hospital that will specialize in oncology, hematology, cardiology, and advanced medical training for Nigerians.
“This strategic investment aims to enhance access to specialized healthcare, ensuring that Nigerians receive world-class medical treatment. The AMCE is scheduled to commence operations in June 2025,” Soneye disclosed.
“Across Nigeria, NNPC hospitals continue to play a pivotal role in improving healthcare access and saving lives. This is a direct demonstration of how NNPC is utilizing oil revenues to positively impact the lives of Nigerians on a daily basis,” he said.
While describing oil as the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, Soneye noted that the energy sector remains a major employer, generating opportunities for millions of Nigerians, from exploration fields to refining plants and beyond.
“For nations like Nigeria, oil is more than just a commodity; it fuels transportation, powers industries, and generates revenues that support national development,” he said.
“Without oil, modern life as we know it would be vastly different,” he added.
