Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has reaffirmed its commitment to improving the welfare of its host communities, strengthening partnerships and promoting the protection of critical assets supporting its operations.
The company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Adeleye Falade, gave the assurance at the 2026 NLNG Community Stakeholders Recognition and Engagement Forum held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The event, themed “Celebrating Communities for a Sustainable Future,” brought together government officials, community representatives, industry partners and other stakeholders to recognise contributions towards the company’s operational success.
In his welcome address, Falade said NLNG remained committed to maintaining its global competitiveness while contributing to Nigeria’s economic and social development.
He emphasised that achieving these objectives required peaceful, progressive and supportive host communities.
According to him, protecting the company’s assets goes beyond conventional security measures and depends on trust, mutual respect and shared responsibility between NLNG and its host communities.
Falade maintained that sustainable operations could only be achieved through continued dialogue, cooperation and mutually beneficial relationships.
Delivering the keynote address, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dagogo Wokoma, commended NLNG for recognising the contributions of its host communities and partners.
Wokoma reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence, strengthening security and creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
He described the forum as an opportunity to deepen relationships among government institutions, industries and communities through meaningful engagement and sustainable partnerships.
The governor’s representative also assured NLNG of continued government cooperation and congratulated recipients of awards presented during the event.
Among those recognised was Okpara Williams Ndu, who received the Overall Best-Performing Right of Way (ROW) Contractor award.
Speaking with RismadarVoice correspondent Chiweta Nwagbara, Ndu expressed appreciation to NLNG for acknowledging his contributions.
He received a minibus, popularly known as a Keke Bus, as part of the recognition.
Ndu described the award as encouraging and said the gesture demonstrated the company’s appreciation for the contributions of contractors and other stakeholders.
The forum provided an opportunity for NLNG and its partners to reaffirm their shared commitment to community development, asset protection and sustainable industrial operations.
