Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) has denied allegations that its Train 7 Project Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Contractors have neglected Bonny Island, the company’s host community.
An online media platform recently claimed that NLNG had failed to involve Bonny residents in its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, Sophia Horsfall, NLNG’s Manager of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, rejected the report as inaccurate.
Horsfall highlighted that two major CSR projects—the Shell Gate-Coal Beach Road and the Bonny Vehicular Terminal—have been planned and approved by all relevant stakeholders for the benefit of Bonny.
The statement, which declared the report as “false and baseless,” reads, “NLNG is unwavering in its commitment to providing social investment and Nigerian Content benefits to its host community, Bonny, and Rivers State.
“Two major CSR projects, the Shell Gate-Coal Beach Road and the Bonny Vehicular Terminal (BVT), have been earmarked and agreed upon by all relevant stakeholders.
“The Shell Gate-Coal Beach Road project has already achieved a significant milestone with the completion of the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), setting the stage for the EPC contracting phase.
“Similarly, the BVT project is progressing on schedule, with key processes initiated and several pre-construction activities completed. Both projects are scheduled for completion in 2027.”
