NLNG has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding partnerships that empower indigenous capacity, enterprises and communities across Nigeria’s energy value chain to deepen Nigerian Content beyond compliance.

The commitment was the highlight of the 2025 Nigerian Content Stakeholders Retreat and Appreciation Night, held at Finima, Bonny Island, Rivers State. 
The annual event, themed, “Deepening Stakeholders’ Collaboration for Sustainable Economic Development,” brought together senior industry executives, regulators, and local content champions for reflection and recognition of excellence within the Nigerian Content space.

At the Appreciation Night, Deputy Managing Director of NLNG, Olakunle Osobu, remarked that NLNG’s vision for Nigerian Content was anchored on leadership, impact, and legacy. 

He stated that the company was complying with local content mandates and setting new benchmarks for value creation across the energy landscape.
According to him, NLNG was deliberately investing in the growth of indigenous capacity, technology, and enterprises to ensure that Nigerian participation becomes a driver of innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable national prosperity.

Meanwhile, Bellazir Limited, a petroleum marketing company and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has trained 50 young Nigerians on key areas of hazards prevention and operational safety in places of work including the oil and gas industry.

Speaking at the close-out session of the programme, Chief Executive Officer of Bellazir Limited, Christabel Aniemeka said the training, which was born from the strategic collaboration between the NCDMB and her company, was a testament to their shared commitment to capacity building and local content development.
In his remarks, the Executive Secretary of NCDMB, Mr. Felix Ogbe, who was represented by the Supervisor on Projects, Mr. Collins Emuobonuvie, said the training was a direct contribution to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
