On World Hearing Day, NNPC Ltd. Reaffirms Commitment to Protecting Hearing Health
Abuja, Nigeria, March 3, 2026
In commemoration of World Hearing Day, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has reaffirmed its collective responsibility to protect and promote hearing health across its workforce and the communities it serves.
Observed globally on March 3 each year, World Hearing Day highlights the importance of preventing hearing loss and promoting ear and hearing care. As a leading energy company, NNPC Ltd. recognizes that safeguarding hearing health is an essential part of ensuring the wellbeing, safety, and productivity of its employees, particularly in environments where exposure to industrial noise can occur.
NNPC Ltd. emphasized that hearing protection is not only an occupational health priority but also a community responsibility. The company reaffirmed its commitment to raising awareness about the importance of hearing care, especially among children in host communities who may face preventable risks due to lack of information and access to early care.
Through workplace safety policies, awareness initiatives, and the provision of protective equipment, NNPC Ltd. continues to encourage employees to adopt safe listening habits and follow recommended hearing protection measures while on duty. These efforts form part of the company’s broader health, safety, security, and environment (HSSE) framework aimed at ensuring that every staff member operates in a safe and supportive work environment.
NNPC Ltd. also called on staff members, partners, and stakeholders to take proactive steps toward protecting their hearing health by reducing exposure to harmful noise levels, using appropriate protective devices, and seeking regular hearing checks.
“As we mark World Hearing Day, we are reminded that protecting hearing is protecting the future,” the company noted. “Together, we can ensure that our workforce remains safe, healthy, and productive.”
NNPC Ltd. therefore encourages everyone to take simple but vital steps toward hearing protection.
Protect your ears. Protect your future.
