His triumph in the NIPR 2025 award started from the category of the Distinguished Spokesperson (Oil and Gas) from which he breasted the tape, outrunning Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) Chief Chinedu Ukadike and Shell Petroleum Igo Weli.
Recall that Soneye’s footprint of an excellent spokesperson at the NIPR contest was also recorded in 2024.
Last year he defeated the spokesperson of Shell Companies in Nigeria, Michael Adande and the spokesperson of Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited, Dr. Johnson Nkwocha to clinch to the “Distinguished Spokesperson in Oil and Gas” award.
Soneye’s capacity to shape public opinion, also stood him out of the crowd of spokespersons, according to the Adjudication Committee, Chairman, Dr. Shaibu Hussein.
Represented by a member of the committee chairman, Lami Tuiaka, the chairman said the moment to the conclusion of the award was rigorous and demanding. He also predicated Soneye’s victory on his communication skills, crisis management and overall impact.
“I must report that we carefully examined each nomination, considering factors such as communication skills, crisis management and overall impact,” he said”.
Presenting him the plaque at the National Spokespersons Award 2025, chairman of the event Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Power, Hon. Joshua Audu Ghana, said the institute would celebrate Soneye throughout 2025 as the current NIPR spokesperson award winner.
Responding, Soneye attributed his recognition by the NIPR with its most exalted spokesperson’s award to the dedication of the entire team of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
Amid a standing ovation, he said, “We are all happy and I am deeply honoured to receive this award tonight from NIPR. This award reflects the dedication of our entire team and we want to thank NIPR for all they have been doing.”
