Education - Nigeria LNG

Scholarship

Another area of co-operation is in human capital development. NLNG awards scholarships yearly to students from its host communities in tertiary institutions. No fewer than 2,400 students have benefitted in NLNG's host communities and the GTS. The scholarship has now been extended to merit students from other parts of Rivers State and Nigeria.

Bonny Education Endowment Fund

This fund was established in 1997 to ‘top up’ Bonny teachers’ salaries. Ever since, NLNG has spent over N43 million on the project. This is an incentive to encourage teachers to remain in the classroom rather than drifting to construction sites where the pay is more attractive. The Fund also: :

Provides text/exercise books and school desks;
Rehabilitates schools;
Supplies science equipment ;
Awarded scholarship to more than 2,400 university undergraduates.

Bonny Vocational Centre

The Bonny Vocational Centre is an NLNG/Bonny Kingdom partnership project designed to promote vocational/entrepreneurial skills acquisition, development of technical competencies and self-reliance in youths in Bonny community in particular and Rivers State in general.

It is an educational establishment that is geared towards meeting the needs and aspirations of the community through a three-tier curriculum. It leads to the award of the International Technical Vocation Level 3 Certificate of London City and Guilds and/or the Nigerian Skills Technical Certificate. Classes started at the centre on March 10, 2005 with 20 students.
