The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG) has commended the Nigerian Navy (NN) for her role in ensuring a peaceful atmosphere for the Company to carry out its activities.
Managing Director MD, NLNG, Mr. Tony Attah showered the encomium on the NN when he recently led other senior management officials of the Company on a courtesy visit to the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo at the Naval Headquarters Abuja.
TheFact Nigeria notes that, according to Mr Attah, Liquefied Natural Gas is a critical national asset to the future of the country especially at a time that the nation is moving away from its dependence on crude oil.
He therefore emphasized that the NLNG would have found it extremely difficult to operate in the Niger Delta region without the support of the NN. In this regard, Mr Attah solicited for the continued support of the NN to enable the Company sustain its operations.
The MD also used the forum to felicitate with the CNS on his recent appointment and wished him well as he leads the Service.
Responding, the CNS, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, appreciated the show of goodwill by the MD and quickly recalled that the NLNG was instrumental in the establishment of the NN Forward Operating Base, Bonny. Vice Admiral Gambo pointed out that the NN is very mindful of the position of the NLNG as a key national asset and the NN’s responsibility to ensure that this asset is well protected.
He therefore assured the MD and his team that the Service will continue to support the NLNG especially by providing a favourable atmosphere for its operations so that business will thrive without fear or any hinderances.
Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo also expressed with delight how the issue of gas flaring is fast becoming a thing of the past.
