The National headquarters of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Abuja, has sent a congratulatory message to the publisher of Per Second News, Femi Soneye, on his appointment as the Chief Communications Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

The NUJ also commended the Group Chief Executive Officer of the NNPCL, Malam Mele Kyari and the management for picking a thoroughbred professional as its spokesperson.

The union congratulated Soneye, who is a member of the union, on his well-deserved appointment.

“The union is excited by this  appointment which is well-deserved, and is coming at a time of transition for the oil and gas company and requires an individual such as Soneye with global expertise and experience in journalism, information and communications.

“We are confident that Soneye will discharge his duties diligently, professionally and transparently owing to the importance of the NNPCL in the nation’s growth and development.

“As a professional with full-time and freelance experience at some of the world’s most respected publications in Nigeria, Australia, and the United States of America, the Union expects him to deliver optimally in this role,” Shuaibu Usman Leman, the Walin Shadalafiya, the National Secretary of the union said in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.

He added: “While we laud the efforts by NNPCL against illegal refineries and bunkering in the Niger Delta region, we urge it to strengthen its pipeline surveillance to ensure increased oil production.”

Soneye, who was announced as the new spokesperson of the NNPCL on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, will lead the NNPCL’s Corporate Communications team and drive its brand penetration, strategic communications initiatives, and stakeholder management. He is a former President of the Nigerian Media Practitioners, Washington, D.C.
