Nigeria’s gas company, NLNG, has been honoured with the Energy Awards 2026 Operational Excellence Award at the 25th-anniversary edition of NOG Energy Week.
The recognition came at one of Africa’s premier energy gatherings, 2026 NOG Energy Week, held from July 5 to 9, 2026, at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja. The event brought together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, investors and technology providers to shape the future of Nigeria’s energy sector.
The Energy Awards honours organisations that demonstrate outstanding operational performance through process optimisation, enhanced reliability, improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainable business practices.
NLNG’s Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Anne‑Marie Palmer‑Ikuku, said the award reaffirms NLNG’s commitment to safe, reliable and efficient operations, which continue to set benchmarks across Nigeria’s energy industry.
NLNG maintained a strong presence throughout the conference and exhibition, participating in discussions and engaging stakeholders on key industry priorities, including gas development, operational excellence, sustainability, innovation and Nigeria’s role in strengthening global energy security.
Palmer‑Ikuku said the company’s participation reflected its continued commitment to fostering collaboration and advancing solutions that support a resilient, competitive and sustainable energy industry.
She said, “The Energy Awards 2026 Operational Excellence Award underscores NLNG’s sustained focus on operational discipline, world-class asset management and a culture of safety, continuous improvement and value creation. It also recognises the dedication and professionalism of the company’s workforce, whose commitment to excellence has enabled NLNG to consistently deliver reliable LNG to global markets while supporting domestic gas utilisation and contributing significantly to Nigeria’s economic development through local content, revenue generation and strategic investments.
“As NLNG advances its strategic growth initiatives, including the Train 7 Project, the recognition further reinforces the company’s resolve to remain a leading global LNG company helping to build a better Nigeria. Through operational excellence, innovation and responsible business practices, NLNG continues to support Nigeria’s aspiration to harness its abundant natural gas resources for economic growth, industrialisation and a sustainable energy future.
“The 2026 NOG Energy Week also highlighted the critical role of collaboration, innovation and investment in unlocking Africa’s energy potential, making NLNG’s latest achievement another significant milestone in its journey of delivering lasting value to stakeholders and the broader energy industry,” she said.
