Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited has denied the claims that its Train 7 Project Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Contractors have neglected the Bonny Island host community.
The company was being accused by an online media platform of failing to include the Bonny community in its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
However, the Manager of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs at NLNG, Sophia Horsfall in a statement issued to the pressmen on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, described the report as false.
According to Horsfall, the Bonny Vehicular Terminal and the Shell Gate-Coal Beach Road are two significant CSR projects that have been approved by all pertinent Stakeholders for Bonny.
The statement declared the report as “false and baseless”.
It said, “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 have been earmarked and agreed upon by all relevant stakeholders.
“The Shell Gate-Coal Beach Road project has already achieved a significant milestone with the completion of the Front-End Engineering Design 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.”
