NLNG Reaffirms Commitment to Sustainable Community 

Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has reaffirmed commitment to sustainable development in its host communities.

The General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Sophia Horsfall, said through targeted capacity building, access to innovative support, and enterprise development opportunities, NLNG is strengthening the local economy across its host and pipeline communities.

This was as the International Oil and Gas Company’s economic empowerment initiative, the Vocational Innovation Business and Empowerment Scheme (VIBES), has inducted a new cohort of 103 trainees into its 2026 empowerment programme.

The induction ceremony, held in Port Harcourt, marked a significant milestone in the scheme’s ongoing commitment to skills development and sustainable economic empowerment.

In her remarks at the induction ceremony in Port Harcourt, Sophia Horsfall, stated that “The VIBES programme reflects NLNG’s long-standing commitment to sustainable development in our host communities. Through targeted capacity building, access to innovative support, and enterprise development opportunities, we are strengthening the local economy across our host and pipeline communities”. 

She said, “The graduation of one cohort and the induction of another showcase the continuity of our investment in youth empowerment, innovation, and enterprise development as key drivers of inclusive growth.” Also speaking at the event, the Manager, Community Relations and Sustainable Development, Yemi Adeyemi, described the milestone as rewarding, noting the progress made by the graduating cohort.

“When we supported them last year, it was not only with training but also with grants to help strengthen their businesses. A year later, we can see the difference, businesses are expanding, ideas have moved beyond the planning stage, and the beneficiaries are more confident in managing their ventures. That is the essence of VIBES, practical support that helps people make real progress.”
