The ‘Decade of Gas’ working group yesterday said it had identified 20 priority gas projects, with potential to supply 4.6 BCFD by 2030, as Nigeria continues to ramp up its efforts towards cheaper and cleaner fuels.
In an online interactive session with journalists, anchored by the Lead Economic Principle Workstream of the office, Ramatu Abdullahi and Lead Infrastructure Workstream, Taofeek Balogun, the office stated that there were clear directives from President Bola Tinubu to ensure that the aim of the programme is realised.
Essentially, Nigeria’s ‘Decade of Gas’ is a government-led initiative aimed at harnessing the country’s vast gas reserves to drive economic growth and development.
Abdullahi told journalists that some of the projects that will lead to the realisation of the Decade of Gas by 2030 were being handled by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), SPDC, Seplat, Total Energies, Chevron, Sunlink, Amni and ExxonMobil.
“We have approvals from the president for some directives. We will be looking to implement those directives. We’ve started with a focus on supply because of the nature of the gas industry,” he said.
