NLNG has been named Best Corporate Training Partner 2025 by the Oil and Gas Trainers Association of Nigeria (OGTAN) at the 4th edition of the OGTAN Human Capital Development (HCD) Awards held in Lagos.


The award recognises NLNG’s longstanding commitment to workforce development, skills transfer, and capacity building in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. Since inception, the OGTAN HCD Awards have celebrated organisations and individuals whose contributions to human capital development are measurable and impactful.


Announcing the award, OGTAN commended NLNG for sustained investments in workforce training, partnerships with accredited providers, sponsorship of industry programmes, and technical education initiatives delivered through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. The Association described NLNG as “a true partner in capacity building, with evidence of measurable results.”


Receiving the award on behalf of the company, Emmanuel Uleh, Head of Nigerian Content Compliance Assurance & Monitor, said NLNG’s focus on human capital development is both a Nigerian Content obligation and a key part of its broader CSR agenda, which prioritises education.


“At inception, NLNG deliberately promoted local capacity development by training Nigerian technicians and operators for the operation and maintenance of its plant on Bonny Island. Today, this strategy has yielded remarkable results: NLNG boasts a 100 per cent Nigerian management team and a workforce that is over 95 per cent Nigerian,” Uleh said.


He explained that through strategic partnerships and targeted initiatives, NLNG has empowered thousands of Nigerians with industry-relevant skills, vocational training, and formal education support. More than 600 Nigerians, he noted, have been trained in Nigeria and South Korea in highly technical fields such as naval architecture, shipbuilding, welding, and fabrication under the Bonny Gas Transport Plus Project.


In addition, over 150 people have been trained through NLNG’s asset projects in collaboration with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and OGTAN. Under its Train 7 Project Human Capital Development programme, more than 400 Nigerians are currently undergoing training — including over 140 embedded in plant maintenance activities and over 200 community youths preparing for future operations.


Beyond technical capacity, Uleh said NLNG’s CSR programmes continue to prioritise education as a driver of national development. These include scholarships to deserving post-primary and undergraduate students in Nigeria, as well as postgraduate studies abroad in critical technical fields.


He stressed that NLNG’s contributions align with Nigeria’s development goals and sustainability priorities, reflecting its vision to remain “a globally competitive energy company, inspiring a sustainable future.”

Image
The Media Rights Agenda (MRA) on Tuesday called on Federal and State Governments to make human rights a lived reality for all Nigerians in accordance with their constitutional obligation to recognize and maintain human dignity.  It said that by so doing, they could begin to rebuild public trust in government, foster national unity, and unlock the true potential of the Nigerian people. In a statement issued in Lagos to commemorate this year’s International Human Rights Day, MRA lamented that the promise of human rights contained in the Constitution as well as in regional and international instruments that Nigeria is party to, has remained unfulfilled for far too many citizens as the country has spiraled into a jungle where only the fittest survive and human life has little value. MRA’s Programme Officer, Ms Esther Adeniyi, said in the statement: “The Federal Government has duties and obligations under international law to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. It cannot claim to ...
