NNPC Foundation to Restore Vision For 6,000 Nigerians – Soneye

Soneye said the NNPC Foundation initiative addresses the limited access to quality STEM learning resources, a major factor contributing to the low enrolment of Nigerian students in science and technology in tertiary institutions.

“Recognizing agriculture as a catalyst for economic growth, NNPC Foundation is also launching a nationwide training program for 6,000 vulnerable farmers.

“The first phase, starting on 7th to 11th April 2025, will equip 1,000 farmers in the South-East and South-South with modern agricultural techniques, including climate-smart farming, organic fertilization, post-harvest loss reduction, and market access strategies. This training will take place in three select locations across three geopolitical zones,” he stated.

Speaking on the significance of these initiatives, Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Mrs. Emmanuella Arukwe, stated: “NNPC Foundation is committed to creating meaningful change by addressing critical societal challenges. Restoring sight, equipping students with learning resources, and empowering vulnerable farmers, are not just interventions but strategic investments in Nigeria’s future.

 “These initiatives underscore NNPC Ltd’s unwavering commitment to the health and prosperity of Nigerians. We recognize the profound impact that these initiatives have on individuals and communities, which aim to improve lives. By addressing critical challenges, we are helping to build a healthier, stronger, and economically empowered nation,” Arukwe stated.
