NLNG has said it is an environment friendly organisation and has reduced gas flaring in Nigeria from over 60 per cent to less than 12per cent over the years.

Speaking at the opening session of the ongoing workshop/training for media practitioners on digital journalism #NLNG Change Your Story, being facilitated by the Journalism Clinic, Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Anne-Marie Palmer-Ikuku, said NLNG, a global energy company improving lives sustainably des not flare gas, contrary to misconceptions in some quarters.

She rather observed that when the oil companies explore crude oil, they flare gas in the process, but noted that NLNG’s role is to harness such gas and monetise same for the overall benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians.

She also noted that the company is committed to harnessing and exporting natural gas in line with its core value of improving lives sustainably. She further noted that it was in line with the commitment of improving lives sustainably that the company has been funding the #NLNG Change Your Story in partnership with the Journalism Clinic since 2015, through which over 500 media practitioners have been trained and equipped with skills in digital journalism.

Recall that NLNG has last year celebrated its 35 years of incorporation and 25 years of operation, which also saw the emergence of a new brand identity, which speaks to commitment to sustainable energy.

Palmer-Ikuku, who took out time to explain the new brand identity to participants at the workshop, said it is more about strategy, culture, especially a cultural alignment to the company’s core values of integrity, efficiency, excellence and teamwork, not just a new logo but a commitment to how it conducts business.

While explaining the colours on the new brand identity, she said the now logo is an expression of a commitment to a future where clean, accessible and reliable energy is a reality for all. She urged the media to reflect the new name and brand identity of the company, which typifies the vision and trust the world has for it.
