According to Yakubu, “With the success of NLNG on Bonny Island, doubts about Nigeria being able to successfully drive a project of this scale from construction through to operation has been paled into insignificance.

NLNG should constantly engage its regulators to ensure its glowing records of achievement of prompt delivery and meeting its contractual obligations to its numerous customers around the world is clearly understood and appreciated.”

Receiving the NNPC boss, Isa Mohammed Inuwa, the deputy managing director, NLNG, described the visit as a rare privilege and a demonstration of his commitment to the success and development of the company by a key stakeholder as it was the first of its kind by a sitting group managing director of NNPC Chima Isilebo, general manager, production, NLNG, gave an overview of the NLNG’s production performance as well as challenges
it is facing in the global LNG market.
