The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NLNG, Adeleye Falade,
has commended the Rivers State Police Command for its efforts in safeguarding critical national assets and maintaining security around NLNG’s operations and key infrastructure. He described the Command as being consistently professional, operationally disciplined, and deeply committed to ensuring safety and security across Rivers State.
Falade gave the commendation while receiving the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, and his team during a courtesy visit to the Corporate Head Office of NLNG in Port Harcourt on Monday.
During the visit, he recognised the Police’s pivotal role in securing NLNG’s critical operations, particularly the Train 7 project and the Bonny–Bodo Road corridor, and noted that their proactive efforts in safeguarding lives, property, and key infrastructure is appreciated. He highlighted the need for enhanced security collaboration as the forthcoming commissioning and official opening of the Bonny–Bodo Road will reshape access to Bonny Island and present new opportunities for the people of Rivers State.
“With increased access to Bonny Island, we need a broader conversation on how to preserve the safety of our people and assets. As long as our operations remain secure and uninterrupted, the benefits will continue to extend across the state and the nation, he said.
In his remarks, Adepoju reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with NLNG, highlighting the company’s strategic importance to Rivers State and the national economy. He assured of the command’s readiness to respond effectively to security concerns through established operational structures.
“NLNG remains a pride of Rivers State and a key pillar of Nigeria’s economy. Our teams are ready to act promptly on any security concerns, with systems in place for rapid response,” he said.
