PLANT
n November 1995, a Final Investment Decision (FID) was signed by the shareholders to build a liquefied natural gas plant in Finima, Bonny Island in Rivers State. In December 1995, a consortium of engineering firms comprising Technip, Snamprogetti, M.V. Kellog and Japan Gas Corporation (TSKJ) was awarded a turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for the construction of the Plant (consisting of two trains and subsequently identified as the Base Project), the Gas Transmission System and the Residential Area.
production capacity to 30 mtpa of LNG are currently at an advanced stage. The plant has rapidly and successfully made the transition from a construction project to a stable production operation, with a robust integrated delivery chain underpinned by relentless focus on asset integrity and HSE assurance. This has made NLNG to achieve, within a short span, the status of a very reliable supplier of LNG in the Atlantic Basin, serving the European, North American, South American, Middle East and Far East markets.
The Plant is built on 2.27sq. km of largely reclaimed land in Finima, Bonny Island. The main elements of the facilities already in operation are: Six LNG processing units (trains) with a total nameplate processing capacity of 23.5 MTPA Diversified Gas Supply (Associated Gas & NonAssociated Gas) and six main dedicated gas transmission pipelines with the four on-shore pipelines passing through over 110 communities Four LNG storage tanks with a capacity of 84,200 cubic metres each A common fractionation plant to process LPG A condensate stabilisation process unit Three Condensate storage tanks with a capacity of 36,000 cubic metres each Four 65,000 cubic metre LPG refrigerated tanks (for propane & butane) Ten generators with a total capacity of 320 MW Two LNG export jetties; one of which also exports LPG 24 LNG ships dedicated to NLNG service Materials off-loading jetty Passenger Jetty Terminal A residential area covering 2.08sq.km.
Construction at the plant site commenced in February 1996 and by August 1999, Train 2 was completed. On August 12 of the same year, the plant was ready for start-up. Production of LNG commenced on September 15. The second train of the Base Project, Train 1, came on stream on February 27, 2000. Train 3 came into operation in November 2002. NLNGPlus, comprising Trains 4 and 5, came on stream in November 2005 (for Train 4) and February 2006 (for Train 5). Train 6 was completed and became operational in December 2007. With six trains now operational, the entire complex is capable of producing 23.5 mtpa of LNG and 4 mtpa of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Condensate from 3.5 bcf/d feedgas intake.

PLANT
The country is ranked 7th in terms of proven natural gas reserves in the world, the natural gas reserves/production being estimated at over 100 years.
Geologists believe that there is a lot more gas to be found (potentially up to 600 tcf), if companies deliberately explore for gas, as opposed to finding it while in search of oil. The government aims to eliminate all flaring of gas associated with the production of oil. And NLNG continues to play a significant part in this. In the period 19992009, NLNG has converted 67 bcm or 2.4 tcf of Associated Gas (AG) to export LNG/NGL products (705 cargoes in 2009) which otherwise would have been flared. With further improvements in the collection of associated gas, NLNG with its 6-Train LNG/NGL complex will be reducing flaring even further. Other demands on the use of Nigerias gas are domestic power generation, domestic utilities and industry, as well as export gas projects such as the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) and
igeria is blessed with abundant reserves of associated and nonassociated gas estimated in excess of 180 trillion cubic feet (tcf).
potentially other future LNG projects. NLNG is the biggest gas consumer/exporter in Nigeria. During 2009 the gas production was lower than planned. Gas production and supply have however significantly improved in 2010, particularly after the start-up of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDCs) 1 bcf/d Gbaran/ Ubie Integrated Gas and Oil Supply facility in June of that year. Resultantly, NLNG has now sufficient gas to operate all of its 6 trains at capacity.

Gas Supply
Feedgas is produced by the JVs from various concession areas in the Niger Delta, from on-and off-shore fields. The agreements ensure efficient gas supply to the plant throughout the life of the projects. SPDC Joint Venture is currently supplying feedgas from a number of fields including Gbaran/Ubie (with a capacity of 1 bcf/d, which started-up in June 2010),Soku, Bonny (on-shore) and Bonga, and EA (off-shore) processing plants receiving gas from a wide range of fields. The NAOC Joint Venture supplies gas to NLNG from their Obiafu (OB/OB) gas processing centre which receives gas from a wide range of fields. These fields will be expanded in the future (Tebidaba and Ebocha / Irri fields). The Elf Joint Venture (TEPNG) derives gas supplied to the Plant from the on-shore Obite, Ibewa and Obagi fields. Additionally, rich gas from the off-shore Amenam and Akpo platforms is sent to NLNG. Currently TEPNG is running a project to increase its supply capacity from the Obite Gas Plant. A separate 42 inch diameter gas transmission pipeline is also in project execution phase, to bring the additional gas from Obite Plant to NLNG in 2012. At present, with six trains in full operation, the total gas requirement of the companys liquefaction plant is about 3500MMscf/d (3.5 bcf/d). Gas is transmitted to the NLNG complex through six independent Gas-Transmission-Systems (GTS). GTS-1/2/4 and BNAG piping systems are on-shore, while GTS-3 and

MARKETING & SALES ADMINISTRATION

Since October 1999 when the first LNG cargo was loaded for delivery to France, NLNG has maintained its reputation as a reliable and secure supplier of Liquefied Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids (Condensates and LPG) worldwide. With a 6-Train complex of 22 mtpa LNG production capacity and 5 mtpa NGLs production capacity, NLNG now has the capacity to load and safely deliver over 330 cargoes of its products annually.
Europe, Turkey, Mexico and the United States of America. In recent times, NLNG has been delivering cargoes to the Far East, Middle East, South America, and the United Kingdom through its existing customers, with LNG cargoes delivered to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, India, Kuwait, Brazil and Wales. This has positioned the company as a global player in the gas industry. NLNG has also executed over 42 Spot Master Agreements, both DES and Free on Board (FOB), with various companies located across major markets, enabling the sales of excess production volumes to the spot LNG market.
NLNG has entered into a number of Sales Agreements with its shareholders and third party companies for sales of the entire NGL volumes produced at the plant.
DOMESTIC LPG SUPPLY (DLPG)

NLNG commenced the supply of LPG to the Nigerian domestic market in 2007. That first NLNG LPG cargo into the domestic market was discharged at the Apapa jetty on December 26. NLNG has signed Sales and Purchase Agreements (SPAs) with off-takers (all Nigerian companies) in which the company is committed to deliver 150,000 tonnes of LPG into the Nigerian market annually. The number of off-takers involved in the Domestic LPG Supply scheme increased to Eleven (11) in 2010. This is in line with the companys commitment to contribute significantly to the stimulation and development of the domestic LPG market in Nigeria. The scheme, which has been an outstanding success, has also led to a guaranteed supply of the product and a significant reduction in the end-user price of LPG in the domestic market.
LNG CONTRACTS
NLNG currently manages sixteen (16) long term LNG Sales Purchase Agreements (SPAs) executed with 11 buyers on a Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) basis. These buyers include Enel, Repsol Gas Natural LNG (Stream), Botas, GDF Suez, GALP GN, BG LNG, Endesa, ENI, Iberdrola, Shell Western LNG BV and Total Gas and Power Ltd. The Long Term LNG buyers take delivery of their volumes in receiving facilities spread across the Atlantic Basin in countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Italy in
NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS

High quality Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Condensate are by-products of natural gas liquefaction. They are known as Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs). NLNG currently produces and loads over 45 cargoes of these by-products annually. Both LPG (fully refrigerated Propane and Butane) and Condensate are sold as feedstock for the petrochemical industry on Free on Board (FOB) basis.

DOMESTIC LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS (DLPG) OPERATIONS

NLNG is continuing in its quest to maintain unbroken supply of LPG (cooking gas) to the Nigerian market. Previously, LPG was delivered to the Nigeria market by a Ship-to-Ship (STS) model where the NLNG Chartered LPG Ship (BW Boss) loads LPG from NLNG Terminal in Bonny and transfer to offtakers daughter vessels at sea for onward delivery to the buyers reception facilities. Following NLNG Board approval in 2010 the model was changed from STS to Delivered Ex Ship (DES) model and the LPG ship, Navigator Taurus was chartered. Under the DES model, Navigator Taurus loads from NLNG Terminal Bonny and deliver directly to the buyers terminal at the various ports in Nigeria. BW Boss was redelivered to her owners on 25th October 2010.

NLNG SHIP MANNING LIMITED (NSML)

In response to rapid changes and challenges in the maritime business and the dearth of ship board personnel in the country, NLNG Ship Manning Limited (NSML) was set up to deliver on NLNGs strategic plan to have a shipping Management service supported by a dedicated manning company to develop and supply qualified and competent manpower on its ships. A wholly owned subsidiary of NLNG, the company is saddled with the rapid development of Nigerian manpower in line with international standards of competence and practices. The establishment of the company is also in furtherance of NLNGs Nigerianisation policy which is in sync with the federal governments local content drive. NLNG has been pursuing its Nigerianisation Plan vigorously before NSML. Significant milestones were recorded with Fleet Manning Department where over 55% Nigerianisation has been achieved. Four Nigerian Masters or Fleet Captains have emerged from this exercise. Two additional Nigerian Masters were to emerge in 2010 but have been transferred to the SMKTA project, and they are making the desired progress. Of the many cadets recruited in the early years, a number are now serving as senior and middle level officers on the NLNG fleet, others including the four Masters have assumed senior shore positions in the Shipping Division. From 2002 to 2007, 168 cadets were trained. As part of their training, all cadets go on board BGT vessels for practical experience; this is aimed at instilling in them the discipline required for successful career at sea and at meeting the competency certification requirements of the STCW 95 regulations. Between 2008 and 2009, 56 cadets were recruited. They are currently at Warsash Maritime Academy and Glasgow College of Nautical Studies in the UK.
SHIPPING & MARINE QUALITY ASSURANCE

NLNG has established a Shipping Assurance and Compliance Department that will ensure that each segment of the entire NLNG shipping and marine business operations comply with best industry practice and international standards. All vessels and terminals used for NLNG business are positively vetted using a mixture of inspections, assessments and due diligence reviews. These activities are conducted in line with industry best practise with the shipping assurance department also conducting a number of Oil Company International Marine Forum (OCIMF) accredited inspections. To this end, NLNG has been admitted as a member of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), an organisation with the mission to be the foremost authority on safe and environmentally responsible operation of tankers and terminals, and to promote continuous

In 2010, 16 cadets have been recruited and they are scheduled to commence training in the UK in 2011. BGT now has 155 Nigerian officers and 366 Nigerian ratings in its employment. The company plans to recruit additional ratings in 2011 to bring the total number to 400. NLNG continues to support the Nigerian Maritime Academy, Oron, to train manpower for the industry. Warsash Maritime Academy, Southampton, was engaged to review the academys STCW 95 courses. The Warsash Maritime Academy is also facilitating the accreditation process of Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, certifications for the approval of the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) Authority. The cost for this project which includes purchase, installation and testrunning some equipment for the Academy is fully borne by Nigeria LNG limited. The Company has spent over US $100,000 on the equipment, besides sponsorship of four lecturers and a Life craft Technician for an update training in United Kingdom. In 2010, NLNG donated a Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boat (PSCRB) worth N40 million to the academy.

totalling US$620 million, an uncovered international bank loan of US$180 million, an uncovered Nigerian commercial bank loan of US$160 and an African Development Bank facility of US$100 million. The ECAs, namely US EXIM, ECGD, SACE and Gerling NCM, provided guarantees to a group of nineteen international banks led by BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Credit Lyonnais, MCC and West LB. The ECA backed facilities as well as the African Development Bank facility had eight year tenure. The facilities have been fully repaid on 15 December 2010, with a $72million place holder financing left for another year. The incredible strength of character displayed by NLNG in abiding by the loan covenants, terms and conditions throughout the tenure has significantly increased the appetite of international lenders for financing opportunities involving the company.
he Base Project (Trains 1 & 2), which cost US$3.6 billion, was
financed by NLNGs shareholders.
Expansion Project
NLNGs third train (Expansion Project), including additional tankage, cost US$1.8 billion. The financing was carried out in a similar manner as the Base Project. Besides the new equity injection by the shareholders, revenue and surpluses from the Base Project were re-invested in the Expansion Project. Much of the cost of the new LNG tankers was borne by third party financiers.
NLNGPlus Project
The NLNGPlus project (Trains 4 & 5) cost was US$2.2 billion (excluding ship acquisition). This was funded with a combination of internally generated revenue and third party loans amounting to US$1.06 billion. The third party loans comprise of four Export Credit Agency (ECA) guaranteed international commercial bank loans

Base Trains
In 1990, the company raised a third party loan of US$132 million through Citibank to buy four ships for the Base Projects. The ships, built for another company but not put to use, were refurbished and put into interim business until the plant began operations. BGT raised US$ 460 million in March 2003, to partly fund the construction of the vessels. This facility was arranged by ABN AMRO Bank, Credit Lyonnais, Fortis, ING Bank, HVB, Verein und Westbank and West LB. The balance of $282 million came from internally generated revenue and shareholders funds. BGT refinanced all the foregoing third party facilities in 2006 with a US $680 - million facility through Standard Chartered Bank. This is secured against the 13 vessels in BGTs fleet.
Train 6
Following the signing of NLNG Train 6 Final Investment Decision (FID), six LNG vessels were built and delivered at a combined cost of US$957 million on long term charter to NLNG. The vessels were built at Daewoo Shipyard and Samsung Shipyard in South Korea. Four of the vessels were chartered from BW GAS Asa of Norway and two from NYK LNG (Atlantic) Ltd of Japan.
Train 3
Following the Third Train Expansion, three vessels were acquired by BGT. Their construction was partly funded with third party financing, viz: LNG Rivers & LNG Sokoto were financed with US$160 million syndicated loan which was signed on December 20, 1999. Credit-Suisse First Boston was the lead arranger for this facility for which repayment started in 2002 following the delivery of the second vessel. The third external debt in connection with BGT fleet was the loan inherited from the acquisition of two exLachmar ships (LNG Edo and LNG Abuja) from NLNG on August 1, 2001 when the outstanding debt stood at US$ 210 million. In September 2001, another syndicated bank loan for US$ 100 million was arranged to assist with the construction of LNG Bayelsa. Again, Credit-Suisse First Boston played the lead role. The vessel was delivered in February 2003 and the debt is being serviced.
Trains 4 & 5
Eight additional ships needed for the NLNGPlus project were delivered. Hyundai Industries and Daewoo Shipyard built the ships. Of the eight vessels, BGT owns four while others are chartered from Bergesen d.y of Norway.

NIGERIAN CONTENT
Content Plan as a condition for taking Final Investment Decision (FID).

The approved Nigerian Content Plan is aimed at achieving enhanced Nigerian Content performance in all activities, with the ultimate goal of increasing Nigerian content in all projects and services and meeting governments directives on Nigerian Content now enacted into law as the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act (NOGICD) 2010. NLNGs commitment to maximizing Nigerian Content in all arms of its operations is geared towards developing indigenous service providers and suppliers (manufacturers and fabricators) to enable them attain excellence. Maximising Nigerian participation in projects will ultimately result in enhancing local capability and engender technology transfer and development. This is achieved through full compliance with the NOGICD Act in the award of contracts and purchase orders. The need to maintain the six trains currently in operation and continue sponsored community projects has presented ample opportunities for Nigerian companies and contractors. The companys performance on Nigerian Content is monitored by a committee on Nigerian Content set up by the Board of Directors and driven by various teams in the company. In a bid to discovering Nigerian sources, Nigerian Content surveys are conducted at scheduled intervals throughout Nigeria to identify indigenous companies which are capable of providing the goods and services required by NLNG. Surveys conducted so far have resulted in the discovery and utilisation of Nigerian manufactures like Shoreline Power and Nigerian Ropes.
LNG considers Nigerian Content as an important feature in all its activities projects, production and shipping. In line with this, all LNG projects are required to have an approved Nigerian
NIGERIAN CONTENT STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOPS

To further enhance our in-country sourcing of local companies, NLNG carried out a series of Nigerian Content Stakeholders Workshops which has served as a forum for continual exposure of Nigerian companies to the needs of the oil and gas sectors and an avenue for discovering Nigerian manufacturers and services providers. Major oil and gas companies, government agencies and a total of 143 companies drawn from manufacturing, fabrication, plant maintenance services, engineering services providers and consultants have attended these workshops that were conducted in 2009 and 2010. These workshops have led to the discovery of Nigerian companies such as Klysat cables and Westcom Nigeria limited. NLNG continues to conduct site and facilities assessments and evaluation of other promising companies.
TRAINING AND SKILLS AQUISITION

NLNG trained over 11,284 Nigerians during construction of its plants and it continues to do so with local craftsmen employed during plant shutdowns. This has significantly increased the use of local technicians/artisans to more than 90%, with a corresponding reduction of expatriates. There is also deliberate effort towards increasing local participation in shipping by Nigerian companies. Through Bonny Vocational Centre (BVC), the company embarked on the training of local contractors in various cost estimation and project management courses, geared towards enhancing the capacity of local companies. Hundreds have been certified by London City and Guilds. Annual vendor training sessions are being carried out in Bonny, Port-Harcourt and Lagos. The Bonny Vocational Centre has trained a total of 1086 in electrical installation, fabrication, welding and pipework, mechanical fitting, metal machining, painting and

SERVICES AND PROCUREMENTS

NLNG encourages full participation of Nigerian companies in its contracting and procurement processes. This has yielded positive results in many aspects of our business. An instance of this is the award of major marine services like the provision of tug boats, towage and mooring services and emergency response to Nigerian indigenous companies. While doing this, NLNG strives to maintain international standards on Quality, Cost, Schedule and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE). This is done in the larger context of NLNGs policy on Corporate Social Responsibility. The driving theme here, therefore, remains sustainability.
The following passages explore some of the indigenous companies who have worked with and benefited from the NLNG Local Content Policy.
DORMAN LONG NIG. LTD.

NLNG began a relationship with Dorman Long during its Train 3 (Expansion Project) after its Nigerian Content survey had identified some capability for fabrication in Dorman Long Ltd. NLNG consequently brokered a merger between Dorman Long and Robey Oil & Gas Ltd., another company identified with some capability for engineering services. Robey Dorman Long Ltd. (RDL) subsequently delivered on an NLNG order for about 1067 tonnes of steel structures and 160 tonnes of low-pressure carbon steel vessels for Train 3.
The merger was short-lived, but Dorman Long became more positioned and was awarded a contract in Train 6 Project for the fabrication of vessels in excess of 200 tonnes. NLNG, by this order, supported the construction and installation of a large heat treatment furnace at the Dorman Long facility, a major technological leap that will aid the continued development and expansion of fabrication activities in Nigeria. Dorma Long and Nigerdock were also awarded contracts for the construction of total tonnage of 1038 (Dorman Long-500 tonnes; Nigerdock-538 tonnes) galvanized structural steel works. This was achieved after NLNGs involvement in the enhancement of their galvanization capability.

NIGERIAN CONTENT
NEXANS KABELMETAL
NLNGs relationship with Nexans Kabelmetal also dates back to Train 3. Nexans Kabelmetal was encouraged to increase its capacity for the production of cables through an order to supply to the Project (Train 3). This necessitated the acquisition of new equipment. Nexans Kabelmetal is currently expanding into manufacturing of instrumentation cables, medium- and high-voltage cables.
NIGERIAN FOUNDRIES
NLNG worked with Nigerian Foundries to improve their processes for the manufacture of trench grating for supply to the NLNG projects. It is interesting to note that these gratings made from cast iron products arose from an adapted specification made by NLNG specifically to meet an in-country capability. Over 1,260 gratings and castings were delivered to Train 6.
As in the case of Dorman Long and Nexans Kabelmetal, NLNGs order for gratings from Nigerian Foundries, aside from improving its processes, have also aided in the expansion of its facility and product base. Nigerian Foundries has now built another facility for manufacturing loading arms counterweights, one of the materials needed at NLNGS loading facility. It has also diversified into production of cathodic protection nodes.
ENCHEP LTD.
Enchep Ltd., is another company identified by the Nigeria content survey with capability for (some ranges of) gasket manufacturing, but unfortunately, Enchep used asbestos as feedstock. NLNG invited Flexitallic of the United Kingdom, which had undergone the same process of having to change over from asbestos to spiral wound metal as feedstock, to help Enchep make this change over. NLNG funded this change. NLNG further contracted the service of an internationally reputed foreign consultant, Admas Occupational and Environmental Health Consultants of Bradford, UK, who certified that Encheps production line was free of asbestos dust on completion of the asbestos clearing work by Flexitallic engineers. A partnership between Enchep and Flexitallic, encouraged by NLNG, ensued. This partnership has seen Flextallic introduce metal materials to Enchep as well as provide practical training to Encheps engineers. This is in addition to helping Enchep set up quality assurance and control processes.
Enchep is now ISO-9001 certified. The company supplied over 35,000 pieces of different sizes and ranges of gaskets to NLNG for the Plus Project (Trains 4 and 5) and over 84,000 pieces for Train 6. Enchep has since gone on to supply gaskets to companies within and outside Nigeria.

and safety of its employees and of other persons, and to give proper attention to the protection and conservation of the environment.
In line with this, NLNG plans its work to: Prevent injuries and ill-health to workers and surrounding communities; Prevent damage to assets and minimise any adverse impact on the environment; Avoid/eliminate future liabilities; and Meet requirements for demonstrable diligence. At the conception of the NLNG project, there was a major focus on carrying out preliminary environmental studies. Between 1987 and 2002, intensive environmental studies were carried out and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports prepared. The EIA reports for the Base Project (Trains 1 & 2) and the Gas Transmission System 1 (GTS/1) were reviewed and certified by the then Nigerian environmental regulatory body, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, (FEPA). In early 1997, the final EIA report was approved, making NLNG the first major project in Nigeria to complete full EIA process before commencement of business. An important element of the EIA process is to mitigate potential adverse impacts. For the Base Project, a number of potential adverse impacts were identified and mitigation measures were immediately taken. Additionally, similar EIA studies have been conducted for subsequent projects (Expansion, NLNG Plus, Train 6 , Train 7 Plus and Bonny River Terminal (BRT) Airstrip). The reports for these studies have been approved by the current Nigerian environmental regulatory body, the Federal Ministry of Environment. To ensure adherence to EIA requirements, an Environmental Social and Health Management Plan was developed with the major objectives of ensuring compliance with legislation and NLNG HSE policy. The plan is regularly updated and its implementation evaluated by regulators.
LNG places a premium on Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE) in its activities. The company has a well-articulated HSE policy anchored on the need to take proper care of the health
DISCHARGES TO WATER
To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, NLNG has adopted the principle of abatement through minimisation at source of aqueous discharges that have the potential of causing adverse impact on the environment. However, where this is not feasible, application of endof-pipe technology is adopted to minimise eventual environmental effects of discharge. Periodically, an assessment of the receiving environment is carried out to confirm that our activities are not interacting adversely with the environment.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Nigeria LNGs waste management strategy complies with the concepts of waste management hierarchy and duty of care for both onsite and offsite waste treatment and disposal activities. The Cradle to Grave principle is adopted for the management of solid waste. The principle is essentially the proper and controlled handling, treatment and disposal of solid waste, being underpinned by the 4R philosophy of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. Duty of care audits are regularly carried out with federal and
SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL

NLNG has a denitrification/ nitrification biotreater. Waste water and sewage from the plant, as well as all domestic sewage from the Residential Area, are treated in this facility so that only treated clean water flows into the river. The biotreater is designed to meet the stringent effluent water quality specifications as agreed in the EIA Health Safety Environment Premises.

HAZARDOUS WASTES
NLNG is very concerned about the environment and believes that proper disposal of hazardous waste is important in fulfilling the corporate commitment to protect the environment and promote sustainable development. To this end, all hazardous wastes are assessed and disposed using the best practical environmental options after approvals from the Federal and State Ministries of Environment. Other waste management initiatives currently pursued by NLNG particularly for hazardous wastes include the use of buy-back schemes.
BIODIVERSITY AND NATURE CONSERVATION

In fulfilment of its policy on protection of the environment, Nigeria LNG has established a Nature Park in Bonny Island to preserve the natural environment of its host communities. The site of the Nature Park is the natural habitat of the salt water hippopotamus, now rare in Nigeria, and other interesting flora and fauna endemic to Bonny Island.
NLNG HSE Performance EMISSIONS TO AIR

For emissions to air, the principle adopted is minimisation through abatement at source. Dispersion modelling was employed in initial environmental investigations to predict possible levels of regulated parameters. Stack emissions and ambient air monitoring are routinely carried out within the plant fence and surrounding communities to ensure that ground level concentrations at the workplace and in the nearby settlements do not exceed the tolerance limits for ambient air pollutants according to regulatory limits. NLNG is also in the forefront of addressing the Climate Change challenges in the way we manage our waste, effluents and emissions.

CONSERVATION
Finima Nature Park
Nigeria LNG Limited recognises that increased industrial activities on Bonny Island will put considerable pressure on certain aspects of community life and the ecosystem. To check this, NLNG established a nature reserve to ensure that some areas of the Island are conserved in their natural state. This is in recognition of the importance of the flora and fauna, the sacrifices of the Bonny people, and their aspiration and commitment to sustaining a permanent record of their natural heritage and culture. It is also part of NLNGs contribution to the national and global conservation objective in line with Rio Agenda 21, the Ramsar Convention and Biodiversity Convention. The park, named Finima Nature Park, is for conservation, recreational activities, and research on the fauna, flora and cultural heritage of Bonny Kingdom. It is approximately 700 hectares. The reserve area covers the rain forests and mangrove swamps, as well as an ecologically important area of sandy soil with fresh water ponds and tall timber between the swamps and the beach. This diversity is a good representation of the Niger Delta ecology, which will
afford a unique opportunity for research and educational activities. Already, the reserve is harbouring some wildlife species of high conservation value. There are also a variety of mammals, different bird species (mostly waterfowl) and reptiles, including crocodiles. At present, the nature reserve is managed by an NGO, the Niger Delta Wetlands Centre (NDWC), which undertook the feasibility study of the park area. In the future, it will be managed by a Board of Trustees drawn from the host community, thereby encouraging community participation and the sustainability of the park. In pursuing its environmental objectives, the company considers public consultation and enlightenment fundamental to fostering good relationships with its neighbours. It has initiated a forest enlightenment campaign in accordance with EIA mitigation measures. The company is partnering with the Bonny Environmental Consultants Committee (BECC) on the campaign to this end, a number of billboards urging the preservation of

igeria LNGs approach to corporate social responsibility is anchored on stakeholding, partnership and sustainability. In pursuing its CSR objectives, the company through the Community Relations and Development department provides support to its host communities for the enhancement of their living standards and economic potentials via two broad areas: business/human development and infrastructure development.
The business/human development programme involves the following activities: Encouragement of indigenous contractors; Employment of skilled and unskilled labour; Economic empowerment through micro-credit support, skills acquisition and agricultural development; Award of scholarships and educational support. Facilitation of health interventions
To build and maintain positive relationships with the communities, engagement specialists are assigned to specific settlements as liaison officers, covering over 110 pipeline communities. Others work as development officers specializing in key areas such as Health, Education, Economic Empowerment and Youth Development. The company operates an open door policy. Officers meet regularly with representatives of the host communities, formally and informally, to maintain constant interaction and good relationships.
BONNY UTILITY COMPANY (BUC)

The Bonny Utility Company (BUC), set up by the JIC in partnership with the community to provide sustainable electricity and water supply, manages the electricity project, with the local government and Rivers State Government as stakeholders. BUC offers free electricity in Bonny to cover basic consumption and executed the street lighting of the Bonny Bypass Road A1. However, private electricity consumption beyond the basic measure is paid for to ensure sustainability. There are over 9,300 connections to the BUC distribution grid. About 93% of BUC employees are Bonny indigenes. The BUC is also responsible for the supply and distribution of water in Finima town and most parts of Bonny, pending the completion of the water project.
The infrastructure programme is made up of the following components: Construction of new infrastructure; Upgrading of existing infrastructure; Road construction; Provision of potable water; and Power generation, distribution and maintenance.
JOINT INDUSTRY COMPANIES (JIC)

In 1998, the Joint Industry Companies (JIC), made up of NLNG, Shell Petroleum and Development Company Limited (SPDC) and Exxon Mobil signed an MOU with Bonny Kingdom. The MOU will improve electricity, water supply, provide two major roads of 2.7km and an accelerated development of Bonny Island through the design and implementation of a Bonny Master Plan. This development led to the establishment of a company called the Bonny Utility Company (BUC) to undertake these tasks.

RIGHT OF WAY MAINTENANCE CONTRACT

NLNG recognises the African attachment to land and the obvious fact that no legislation, no matter how well intended, captures all the expectations of the people. It is in this regard that it adopted a systematic approach in its pipeline communities which seeks to promote ownership and meet the communities expectations. NLNG, after paying compensation for Right of Way, trees and crops, went the extra mile to ensure that feelings of dispossession and deprivation were assuaged. This was done through the award of Gas Transmission System (GTS) Right of Way (ROW) surveillance contracts. Holders of GTS ROW Maintenance Contracts, which rotate among the land owning families, employ family members to execute the jobs which cover: Pipeline Right of Way surveillance and inspection Asset maintenance: painting of signposts and markers, grass cutting, etc.
has made the concept of good neighbourliness come alive in its host communities. It has constructed ultramodern health centres in Ubio and Okposi, a water plant in Ubeta, provided hospital equipment in Rumuji, Ubio and AmadiAma, and also installed electricity transformers in Rumuji. It has built several kilometres of roads in Rumuji and Bonny; health centre staff quarters in Peterside, several schools and primary health centres in several communities in Rivers State and promoted social interaction among communities. These are in addition to health awareness campaigns, engagement sessions, sponsorship of immunization campaigns, renovation of schools and town halls, sinking of water boreholes, provision of school desks and writing materials in other host and pipeline communities.
Trained 57 Female sex workers on life skills and another 52 and clients as Peer Educators Capacity building for 66 healthcare workers on effective programme implementation and service delivery Produced and distributed behaviour change communication materials Other efforts include: Baseline study of knowledge, attitude and practice Training of Health Peer Educators who serve as reservoirs and promulgators of social knowledge Campaigns targeted at different groups Youth Against Aids Club (YAAC) groups formed in secondary schools Direct support for People Living with AIDS Roll Back Malaria Campaign The Roll Back Malaria campaign was launched by both the Federal and Rivers State governments to combat malaria through improved sanitation habits and use of mosquito/insecticide treated bed nets. To support this drive, NLNG launched the campaign in all its host local government areas in Rivers State and actively participated in the facilitation and awareness of the World Malaria Day 2010.
IMMUNIZATION
The immunization campaign was done in collaboration with Rivers State Ministry of Health. For the 2010 first round campaign against poliomyelitis, NLNG provided support manpower, logistics (land and water transport) and banners in Bonny and GTS communities. At the end of the campaign, 424,469 children were immunized for polio in our host communities.
HEALTH
Bonny General Hospital
After carrying out a major upgrade of the Bonny General Hospital, NLNG signed an MOU with the Rivers Sate Government to facilitate a 3-year intervention programme that will support improvement of systems and processes, and professional skills of the health workers in the hospital in order to ensure sustainable health care delivery in the hospital.
HIV/AIDS
Expectedly, construction and production activities at various oil and gas company locations on Bonny Island have resulted in the influx of migrant workers into the island. These migrants come from within and outside Nigeria. The high concentration of migrant workers without families and the influx of commercial sex workers have brought many socio-cultural problems.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

With activities ranging from electricity generation, road construction and repairs to water supply as well as building and furnishing of schools, Nigeria LNG Limited
One of such problems is the high prevalence rate of HIV-AIDS infection. The Rivers State Ministry of Health recorded an alarming increase on the number of people living with HIV /AIDS in studies conducted on expectant mothers in Bonny. The figure moved from 1.2 per cent in 1996 to 8.3 per cent in 2002. As a responsible corporate citizen, NLNG has put in place several programmes to check the spread of the virus in Bonny. A significant pointer to this effort is the launch of the Ibanise HIV/AIDS Initiative which is an outfit
established by the JIC in 2006 to respond to the growing prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Bonny kingdom. In 2010, the initiative was able to accomplish the following: Counselled and tested 11,972 with 626 testing positive. Facilitated HIV treatment for 97 persons. Reached 19,772 with HIV prevention messages. Established three support groups for People Living with HIV/AIDS Trained 355 in-school youths as Peer Educators.

to make the participating youths economically and socially responsible and self-reliant through guided vocational and entrepreneurial development training. Since inception, over 400 youths have graduated and have been supported in eight vocations including welding, computer programming, tailoring, catering, events management, hair dressing, carpentry, photography and video production. Participation is open to youths from NLNGs host and pipeline communities. From 2007, concession was given to take in a limited number of physically challenged youths recommended by Play House, a charity home in Port Harcourt. NLNG solely bears the cost of the training welfare, training materials, training fees and support packs. Additionally, NLNG pays monthly stipends to the participants, bears the cost of Trade Test Examination

Through YES, NLNG desires to reduce youth restiveness, vulnerability and dependence. It also seeks to transform the youths into role models and useful partners in development.
Nigeria LNG Agro Development Action (N-AGENDA)

The Nigeria LNG Agro-Enterprise Development was designed to enhance the revenue earning potential of rural entrepreneurs through the provision of value added agricultural and non-agricultural services capacity building in farm management techniques, exposure to improved varieties and crops, field trips and linkage to farming institutes, etc.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Micro-Finance Scheme The micro-finance programme, a scale-up of the highly successful pilot micro credit scheme is designed as a financial and non-financial services intervention programme aimed at supporting clients with products that meet their continued financial and non-financial needs. At the first level, the introduction of the Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLA) has led to the mobilization of credits and building of internal capacities in credits administration. The scheme produces strong, credible and accountable leadership at the village level, as members are chosen on trust, based on known history and proven integrity. In 2010, 567 Accummulated Savings and Credit Associations (ASCA), comprising of 8,862 individuals mobilised about N75 million own funds At a higher level, the Credit Guarantee Scheme provides
Bonny Vocational Centre

The Bonny Vocational Centre is an NLNG/Bonny Kingdom partnership project designed to promote vocational/ entrepreneurial skills acquisition, development of technical competencies and self-reliance in youths in Bonny community in particular and Rivers State in general. It is an educational establishment that is geared towards meeting the needs and aspirations of the community through a three-tier curriculum. On successful completion of training, the trainee is awarded the International Technical Vocation Level 3 Certificate of London City and Guilds and/or the Nigerian Skills Technical Certificate. From October 2009 till date, 278 students have been admitted into the mainstream programme while a total of 100 indigenous companies representatives have been admitted into Project and Procurement Administration qualifications. It has also received accreditation and new qualifications in food
Integrated Top Up Scheme

This was established in 1997 as Bonny Education Endowment Fund to top up Bonny teachers salaries. Over the years, NLNG has spent over N60 million on the project. It currently has about 190 academic and nonacademic staff from CSS Bonny, CSS Burukiri, GGSS Finima and BNGS Bonny. Although, this initially was an incentive to encourage teachers to remain in the classroom rather than move over to construction sites where the pay was more attractive. However, the scheme has been reviewed to be performance driven, as teachers classroom performances are appraised on a quarterly basis to provide a basis for such support. As part of its Education Support, NLNG also:
leverage for those involved in agro-enterprises whose capacities have been built beyond the scope of the accumulated savings and credit associations. To broaden the financial base of this programme, NLNG has gone into a tripartite Partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and First Bank of Nigeria PLC. Development Initiatives (DEVIN) and Growing Businesses Foundation (GBF) were contracted as implementing partners of the programme. The NGOs are mentoring organizations with hands on experience in rural capacity building and have the role of formalizing the traditional village-level banking culture in a manner that is transparent, accountable and verifiable. 20 cooperatives were supported with N38.5m as loans. The micro credit scheme, which acted as the launch base for the micro-finance programme, also provided an avenue for the financial support to 40 cooperatives in 2010; with over N38 million naira provided for disbursement.

2010 Economic Empowerment Development Day
During the pilot phase, 50 participants were trained and supported in agro enterprise development at the African Regional Aqua Culture Centre (ARAC) in Aluu, Port Harcourt and a second batch of 52 were also been trained and supported in the development of farming practices and yield improvement in roots, tuber and plantain production at the National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike (NRCRI), in January 2007. Over 4,000 farmers have also attended various road shows across host communities in the past one year aimed at bringing home emerging practices on agro enterprises by our partnership with the NRCRI and ARAC. The execution strategy evolved in 2009 to having a close-knit selection of agro-business entrepreneurs who
were exposed to emerging thoughts and best practices in Agro Business Development and Management. The scheme currently has 300 agro-entrepreneurs from host communities who have formed the N-AGENDA Farmers Association (NFA) to enable them promote market linkages, harness group synergy, encourage value adding services and sustainably initiate change in the traditional agricultural practices within their communities. The scheme is being implemented on behalf of NLNG by Anpez Centre for Environment and Development. Business Development / Advisory Support Services Launched in October 2006, the Business Development Advisory Support Services is designed to provide accessible, high quality and complimentary business
development and management support services to entrepreneurs in the host communities. It serves as a warehouse of information on business opportunities and emerging markets and supports the entrepreneur with new business ideas, product management, feasibility studies and cash flow analysis. Its implementation helped to complement the gains of other economic empowerment programmes and filled identified gaps in business planning and management skills of 126 entrepreneurs from Abua, Ekpeye and Emohua. The scheme is being implemented on behalf of NLNG by Synergy For Development Center.

he Nigeria Prize for Science and The Nigeria Prize for Literature are registered charities (companies limited by guarantee) with Corporate Affairs Commission. The prizes are aimed at bringing Nigerian scientists and authors to public attention and celebrating excellence in scientific breakthroughs and literary craftsmanship in the nation.
NLNG believes that the science prize will save scientists from their current low rating in national estimation; provide leaders with answers to crucial issues in development; and improve the standards of living. And with the Nigeria Prize for Literature, it is expected that the quest for a prestigious prize will improve the quality of writing, editing, proof-reading, and publishing in the country with far-reaching positive effect on print and broadcast journalism.
The prizes are administered, on behalf of Nigeria LNG Limited, by the Nigerian Academy of Science and Nigerian Academy of Letters. The prizes come with a prize money of $50, 000 each. It started with $20, 000 in 2004 and was increased in 2006 to $30, 000. In 2008, it was again upped to the current amount to drive the science and authorship. FACTS & FIGURES ON NLNG 2011
