Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) on Wednesday handed over the fully revamped Community Primary School, Lighthouse Area, Finima, Bonny, marking completion of its Phase 2 School Renovation Project to the Rivers State Ministry of Education.
Launched to upgrade learning spaces in host communities, Confiance News gathered that the CSR-driven initiative – in partnership with the Ministry – renovated five schools across Bonny, Port Harcourt, Ahoada East, and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGAs. Works included refurbishing three classroom blocks, building two new ones plus toilets, adding perimeter fencing, gates, gatehouse, landscaping, overhead water tank with gantry, reticulation systems, and power tie-in.
At the ceremony, NLNG’s General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Sophia Horsfall, said: “We turn gas into national value – and education is key. These schools prove our focus on equity, progress, and thriving youth. Nine facilities are now delivered, building lasting capacity beyond energy.”
Confiance News reports that the Rivers State Permanent Secretary of Education, Dr. Azibaolanari Uzoma-Nwogu (represented by Director Alua Adiela), praised NLNG’s impact: “This partnership energizes public education, restores trust, and affirms learning as a right. Infrastructure is a shared national duty.”
NLNG’s broader education push includes scholarships, skills training, and community programs transforming lives.
The company also commissioned the upgraded Finima Sports Complex to boost youth empowerment and inclusive growth.
