NLNG bags NECA’s investment in societal renewal, CSR awards

The association emphasised that NLNG got the awards after undergoing a rigorous evaluation process and surveys by the professional body.

It described this annual award as a ground-breaking initiative to promote and laud best practices in corporate performance, people management and industrial relations among Nigerian employers.

Reacting to the awards, NLNG’s Managing Director, Dr Philip Mshelbila, noted that NLNG’s unwavering commitment to CSR and excellent human resources practices aligned with its vision of being a globally competitive LNG company.

This, he said, is helping to build a better Nigeria.

Mshelbila underscored NLNG’s role as an inspirational national success story and a significant contributor to the overall development of Nigeria.

According to him, NLNG is driven by its core values of excellence and care. And it has pursued perfection and achieved remarkable feats in the realm of CSR.

“NLNG’s CSR drive is anchored on four pillars – health, education, infrastructure development, and empowerment.

“All these are towards supporting sustainable development.

“We see ourselves as exemplary corporate citizens, fully committed to investing in advancement of a better Nigeria.

“Yet, to accomplish this, we require the unwavering support and collaboration of all stakeholders in the country.

“I earnestly urge increased support from these critical stakeholders to help us achieve the pinnacle of CSR excellence for the country,” the NLNG boss remarked.

“The company’s dedication to education is evident in its scholarship programs, benefitting over 4,000 Nigerian students at post-primary, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

“Additionally, NLNG’s commitment to bridging the gap in technical education is exemplified by the construction and equipping of the Bonny Vocational Centre (BVC).

“The centre has trained some 920 Nigerians in various vocational and occupational areas among other CRS projects,” Mshelbila said.
