NLNG was anounced as winner of the prestigious award at the fourth edition of OGTAN Human Capital Development (HCD) Awards held in Lagos.
The recognition in in recognition of NLNG’s longstanding commitment to workforce development, skills transfer, and capacity building within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. Since its inception, the OGTAN HCD Awards have celebrated organisations and individuals whose contributions to human capital development are both measurable and impactful.
Announcing the award, the association commended NLNG for its consistent investments in workforce training, partnerships with accredited providers, sponsorship of industry programmes, and technical education initiatives delivered through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes. It noted that NLNG had distinguished itself as a true partner in capacity building, with evidence of measurable results.
Receiving the award on behalf of the company, head of the Nigerian Content Compliance Assurance & Monitor, Emmanuel Uleh said NLNG’s commitment to human capital development is both a Nigerian Content obligation and an integral 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% Nigerian management team and a workforce that is over 95 percent Nigerian,” he stated.
Uleh highlighted 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 have received training in Nigeria and South Korea in highly technical areas such as naval architecture, shipbuilding, welding, and fabrication under the Bonny Gas Transport Plus Project.
In collaboration with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and OGTAN, the company has trained over 150 people through its asset projects.
