Twenty months after his appointment as the spokesperson for the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Femi Soneye has resigned from his position. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Saturday, Soneye said his decision to step down would enable him to dedicate more time to his family and attend to personal responsibilities that now require his closer attention.
He described it as a profound honour to have served both NNPC and Nigeria, and to have contributed to the ongoing transformation of NNPC Ltd. Soneye expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him, the opportunities he was given, and the incredible professionals—both within and outside the organisation—with whom he had the privilege to work.
