Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has won the Operational Excellence Award at the 2026 Energy Awards, held during the 25th edition of NOG Energy Week in Abuja.
The award recognised its strong operational performance, safety culture and commitment to efficiency across Nigeria’s energy sector.
The award was presented on Wednesday at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, where policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, investors and technology providers gathered for the annual NOG Energy Week conference, one of Africa’s leading energy events.
According to the organisers, the Operational Excellence Award recognises organisations that have demonstrated outstanding performance in process optimisation, operational reliability, efficiency improvements, cost-effectiveness and sustainable business practices.
NLNG said the recognition reflects its continued commitment to safe, reliable and efficient operations while setting industry benchmarks in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
The company maintained a strong presence throughout the five-day conference, which ran from July 5 to July 9, participating in strategic discussions on gas development, operational excellence, sustainability, innovation and Nigeria’s growing role in global energy security.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by its Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Anne-Marie Palmer-Ikuku, NLNG said the award underscores the company’s sustained focus on operational discipline, world-class asset management and a culture of safety and continuous improvement.
