We Care
Nigeria LNG Limited is committed to the safety and health of its people, its vendors and its partners, along
with the safe operation of our plant. We have reviewed our processes especially with regards to site
maintenance and further introduced adequate measures to keep safe amidst the global COVID-19
pandemic. We will be embarking on a series of major Turnarounds and we would like to assure you that
the NLNG site is poised and ready for safe maintenance operations.
NLNG has successfully executed 3 major Turnarounds with each of them in excess of 1 Million manhours
(LTI free) and zero outbreak of COVID due to the mitigations it has in place. We ask that you collaborate
with us in ensuring your safety and the safety of others by adhering to the COVID-19 measures and
intervening when non-compliance is observed.

The following key measures have been taken:

❖ The Nigerian Government has expressly designated NLNG as a “critical” business vital to the country
and our license to operate during this period remains valid.

❖ All personnel working on the Shutdown will be tested for COVID-19. Only those with negative results
will commence work.

❖ All our staff, contractors and partners are obligated to follow the basic measures: keep the minimum
distance of 2 meters to each other as much as possible and to avoid physical contact, frequently
wash hands intensively with soap, and avoid touching your face.

❖ Face masks are mandatory throughout the site, even when the distance between personnel is greater
than 2 meters.

❖ Hand tools and communication devices will be cleaned frequently.

❖ Safe distancing will be applied to commuting, housing and canteen services.

❖ Additional precautions will be taken as more guidelines are released locally and from the Nigerian
Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

We are determined to do all we can to ensure that the Turnaround is executed in a safe and successful
manner, because we care.
