INTRIGUES and office politics have caused the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Olufemi Soneye, to stepped down from his position after 20 months in office.
Soneye, a veteran journalist, was one of the best appointments made under the leadership of the immediate past NNPCL group chief executive, Mele Kyari.
Soneye, while confirming the development in a statement on Saturday, June 21, said the decision will allow him to devote more time to his family and attend to personal responsibilities that now require his closer presence, extending gratitude to all those who had assisted him in helping to shape and amplify the NNPCL story over the past 20 months.
He stated: “Your role in building a vibrant and effective communications presence for our national energy company has been nothing short of invaluable.
“I wish to inform you that I have stepped aside from my role as Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd.
“This decision will allow me to devote more time to my family and attend to personal responsibilities that now require my closer presence.
“It has been a profound honour to serve both the Company and our country, and to contribute in my own way to the ongoing transformation of NNPC Ltd.
“I am deeply grateful for the trust reposed in me, the opportunities granted, and the incredible professionals both within and outside the organization with whom I have worked.
“I remain a steadfast supporter and ambassador of NNPC Ltd wherever I go. I enjoin you, dear colleagues, to continue your robust, balanced, and constructive reportage in support of the Company’s noble mission and strategic role in Nigeria’s energy future.”
