By Godwin Chukwumaechi, Port Harcourt

The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas NLNG Limited has refuted an allegation by an online news outlet that the company its Train 7 Project Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contractors have neglected Bonny Island in delivering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) benefits.

In a statement made available to our Correspondent in Port Harcourt, the Nigeria LNG described the report as misleading stating that 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 for Bonny.

The statement which was signed by Sophia Horsfall, Manager, Corporate Communication and Public Affairs further declared the report as “false and baseless”.

“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”.

Horsfall explained; “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”.
