NLNG Generates $108bn as Revenue in 31 Years
By Adedapo Adesanya
The Nigeria LNG (NLNG) Limited has said that over the course of 31 years of its incorporation and 20 years of production, it has generated over $108 billion in revenue.
It also said it has paid $13 billion into the federation account for feed-gas purchase, adding that it has also reduced gas flaring from 65 percent to 20 percent.
The firm in a tweet disclosed that it has paid $8 billion in taxes to the Nigerian government through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and has paid $17 billion in dividends to the federal government.
NLNG is jointly owned by a consortium of the federal government represented by the NNPC (49 percent) and three international oil companies, Shell (25.6 percent), Total (15 percent) and Eni (10.4 percent).
NLNG was established on May 17, 1989, to harness Nigeria’s vast natural gas resources and produce the LNG and natural gas liquids for export.
“Thirty-one years ago, our founding fathers achieved the realisation of what was previously an elusive dream. On this day, Nigeria LNG was incorporated, paving the way for the rise of one of Africa’s leading and most successful brands.
“We have recorded many milestones within 31 years of incorporation and over 20 years of production. With a 22 MTPA six-train plant on Bonny Island, the NLNG has reduced gas flaring from 65 percent to less than 20 percent and generated over $108bn in revenue,” it said in a series of tweets.
The NLNG said it had ensured supply of 50 percent of cooking gas in the country, adding that it had achieved 100 percent Nigerian management and 95 percent Nigerian staff.
“We are the leaders in corporate social responsibility. With the federal government, we are building Bonny-Bodo road worth over N120bn; we sponsor $100,000 Nigeria Prize for Literature Prize and Nigeria Prize for Science as well as scholarships.
“We look to the future with the NLNG Train 7, increasing our capacity by 35 percent. This will make our market presence stronger and generate more value from the over 200 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves in Nigeria,” the agency further wrote.
Last week, Business Post reported that the NLNG awarded the engineering, procurement and construction contracts for its Train 7 project to the SCD JV Consortium, comprising Saipem of Italy, Japan’s Chiyoda, and Daewoo of South Korea.
The Train 7 project aims to increase the company’s production capacity from 22 metric tonnes per annum to about 30 MTPA, and will form part of the investment of over $10 billion, including the upstream scope of the LNG value chain.

This news will surely excite local contractors with verified claims of N100 million or less, as the federal government has approved their payments.
This approval for the disbursement was given by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele.
This followed a verification and reconciliation exercise designed to ensure only validated claims qualify for payment.
The beneficiaries cover contractors across multiple ministries, departments and agencies. The release of the funds is expected to enable contractors to return to project sites, pay workers, settle suppliers and meet outstanding financial commitments.
In an announcement on Monday, the Federal Ministry of Finance also said this latest batch of payments would ease liquidity pressure on small businesses and accelerate economic activity nationwide.
It was noted that the payments for verified claims of N100 million below were strategically done to spread economic impact broadly rather than concentrate disbursements among a handful of large firms.
The payments form part of a broader push to clear inherited contractor obligations, with over N700 billion verified in recent months.
“For many beneficiaries, the release of funds represents more than a financial transaction. It provides the certainty needed to sustain operations, preserve jobs, complete ongoing projects, and contribute to economic recovery and growth,” the ministry said in a statement.
