NLNG signs MOU with three Varsity Hospitals for improved healthcare delivery

Lagos -- To improve health care delivery in Nigeria through its Hospital Support Programme, HSP, the Nigeria LNG Limited, NLNG, has signed Memoranda of Understanding, MoU, with three University Teaching Hospitals in the country.

The MoU, which was signed in Abuja with the University of Jos Teaching Hospital, University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, and the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, signals the commencement of Phase 2 of the HSP programme aimed at improving health care delivery and building a better Nigeria.

The Hospital Support Programme is NLNG’s national corporate social responsibility, CSR, initiative which aims to boost the healthcare delivery system in 12 federal university teaching hospitals cutting across all six geopolitical zones in the country. The programme started in 2022 with the signing and implementation of MoUs with the six hospitals in the first phase of the programme.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Olalekan Ogunleye, NLNG’s Deputy Managing Director, said the company’s vision of being a globally competitive LNG company, helping to build a better Nigeria has inspired the CSR intervention in the over 20 years of its operation. He stated that Nigeria LNG would implement a third phase of the programme whilst hospital projects in earlier phases are being completed and commissioned.

He stated that the University of Uyo teaching hospital would get a twin-suite operating theatre, an accident, and an emergency care unit would be constructed at the

University of Jos teaching hospital while the University of Port Harcourt teaching hospital would get a renal facility.
