The leadership transition period at Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) ended at the weekend in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, with the former Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Tony Attah handing over the symbolic key of NLNG to his successor, Dr. Philip Mshelbila.
A statement signed by NLNG’s General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Eyono Fatayi-Williams stated that the handover was witnessed by dignitaries in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.

Attah in his farewell remarks said: “The ambition of the Company was to build only two trains, which was referred to as the Base Project. But we went on to build Trains 3, 4, 5 and 6. Then, we went on a break for 15 years.
“We pressed reset, released the ‘pause’ button, and got Train 7. But Train 7 is about the same capacity as Trains 1 and 2. For me, Train 7 is another base project, and we should go on to build other trains. I strongly believe we will.”
Receiving the NLNG Key, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NLNG, Dr. Mshelbila, vowed that the Company would remain the leading LNG company in Africa and Nigeria’s most-successful business model.
“We will complete Train 7 and take more FIDs to secure our place in the global market. We will complete the Bonny-Bodo Road and so many other social projects to fulfil our vision of helping to build a better Nigeria,’’ he said.
