Editors laud Soneye’s appointment as NNPCL spokesman

The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has commended the appointment of the Publisher of Per Second online newspaper, Femi Soneye, as the Chief Communications Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), describing it as well-timed.

The NGE noted that the appointment came at a time the NNPCL is undergoing restructuring in efforts by the shareholders to reposition the company for good corporate governance and efficient management, saying the experience of a media executive like Soneye is required.

The NGE, which is the umbrella body of editors/media executives in Nigeria, made the commendation in a statement issued by its President, Eze Anaba, and the General Secretary, Dr Iyobosa Uwugiaren, on Thursday, October 19, 2023.

The editors added that Soneye was “eminently” qualified for the position, considering his experience in both the media industry and the public relations field.

The NGE said: “We commend the Group Chief Executive Officer of the NNPCL, Mr Mele Kyari, for making the right choice and decision.

“Mohammed’s appointment comes at a time the NNPC is undergoing a transition following the signing into law of the Petroleum Industry Bill by President Muhammadu Buhari.”
