NLNG unveils medical laboratory in Bauchi hospital

The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited, on Thursday, June 26, 2025, commissioned a state-of-the-art modern laboratory complex at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) in Bauchi State.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NLNG, Philip Mshelbila, emphasised that the Hospital Support Programme offered Bauchi State a vital partnership and gave NLNG the opportunity to actualise its vision of improving lives sustainably through the provision of healthcare infrastructure.

Mshelbila, who was represented by the NLNG General Manager of External Relations and Sustainable Development, Sophia Horsfall, noted that the programme reinforces the company’s belief in what is possible when private enterprise and public good align with purpose.

He stressed that the project was informed by a detailed needs assessment, resulting in a facility that would significantly enhance diagnostic capacity and provide better support to both clinicians and patients.

Mshelbila said NLNG was building a network of care across the country through HSP, adding that the HSP has transformed medical services in all the beneficiary institutions, boosting the confidence of medical practitioners, and raising public hope for improved healthcare.

Highlighting the pressing need for advanced diagnostic capabilities in Nigeria, especially in light of rising incidences of Lassa fever, antibiotic resistance, and cancer, the Chief Medical Director of ATBUTH, Prof. Yusuf Bara Jibrin, stressed that the laboratory stands as “a fortress of response, equipped with the tools, technologies, and manpower to detect, analyse, and inform timely medical interventions.”

The CMD lauded NLNG for going beyond the bounds of corporate social responsibility, adding that ATBUTH had instituted a maintenance and operations framework to ensure the facility’s long-term sustainability.
