The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas NLNG Limited has refuted an allegation by an online news outlet that the company and its Train 7 Project Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contractors were neglecting Bonny Island in delivering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) benefits.
A statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday by the 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 endorsed 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”, she stated.
Horsfall further 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”.
