The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) has reiterated its commitment to provide cleaner energy to Nigeria and the world.
In a message to mark 33 years of existence on Tuesday, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NLNG, Philip Mshelbila congratulated all stakeholders for the gains recorded.
Mshelbila said: “With immense pride, I join our shareholders, staff, and stakeholders to celebrate NLNG’s 33rd incorporation anniversary“.
He added: “Since 17th May 1989, when the company was incorporated, we have vigorously pursued our vision of being “a globally competitive LNG company, helping to build a better Nigeria.” NLNG has generated value for our shareholders and the country, positively changing the narrative in the country.
“NLNG has also contributed to the development of this country at national, state and local government levels through prompt payment of all applicable taxes, rates and levies. It has also proven to be a good corporate citizen through various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives within its host communities and at the national level.
“Our company has touched lives in significant areas such as economic empowerment, health, education, infrastructure development and sustainable community development.
“Over the years, it harnessed natural gas that would have otherwise been flared, thereby contributing immensely to a cleaner environment.
“And by delivering 100% of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) production into the domestic market, it helps Nigerians transition to cleaner cooking fuels.
“Our growth ambitions are being achieved through the Train 7 project, and we continue to pursue other goals concerning safety, energy transition, and decarbonisation. Join us to celebrate 33 years of excellence. #33YEARS“
