Welcoming attendees to the engagement, Soneye emphasized the vital role of the oil sector in Nigeria’s economic and social development, stressing that NNPCL remains dedicated to not just fueling vehicles but also driving national progress.

He said “ I’m glad to have you here again to this stakeholder engagement proudly sponsored by NNPC, I must say—it is truly heartwarming to see how it has brought us together.

“ For nations like Nigeria  oil is more than just a commodity; it is the backbone of economic growth, industrialization, and social progress. It fuels transportation, powers industries, and generates revenues that support national development”

“The energy sector remains a major employer, creating opportunities for millions.- from exploration fields to refining plants and beyond”

“Beyond its contribution to the macroeconomy, oil plays an integral role in our daily lives, often in ways we take for granted. It provides the energy that lights our homes, fuels our transportation systems, and serves as the foundation for critical industries such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Without oil, modern life as we know it would be vastly different”
