The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has restated its dedication to enhancing the socio-economic well-being of Nigerians.
Speaking over the weekend during a stakeholder engagement with journalists in Abuja, NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, emphasized the crucial role of the oil sector in Nigeria’s economic and social development. He reiterated that NNPCL’s mission extends beyond fuel supply, as the company remains actively involved in driving national projects and fostering progress.
Soneye also highlighted the impact of the NNPC Foundation, which recently conducted 1,000 free cataract surgeries in Nigeria’s South West region, restoring vision to many affected individuals. He further disclosed that the foundation plans to perform an additional 1,000 surgeries in the North, followed by another 1,000 in the South East and South South before the second quarter of 2025.
“This strategic investment aims to improve access to specialized healthcare and ensure Nigerians receive world-class medical treatment. The Abuja Medical City (AMCE) is scheduled to commence operations in June,” he stated.
