Nigerian gas retail market is set to witness boom considering the number of upcoming receiving facilities in Apapa and Lekki waterfront corridors.
Already, the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited is growing plan of supplying LNG to the Nigerian market as part of its contribution to the growth of domestic gas utilisation in the country.
The company said the off-takers of the product -Asiko Power Limited, Bridport Energy Limited, and Gas-Plus Synergy Limited, were currently constructing their receiving infrastructure in Apapa and Lekki Free Zone, Lagos in readiness for the commencement of supply to them. The Manager, of Common Facilities Assets, NLNG, Mr. Lateef Biobaku, gave the latest hint while responding to a question during a panel session at an oil and gas conference in Lagos. NLNG had announced in June 2021 that it was going to commence domestic LNG supply in July 2022, adding that it had signed Sales and Purchase Agreements (SPAs) with three power firms as off-takers, which were to set up receiving infrastructure to enable the commencement of the project. The then Managing Director of NLNG, Mr. Tony Attah, who disclosed the plan during the signing of the SPAs in Abuja, had stated that the initial volume of supply would be 1.1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
The International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI) Joint Election Observation Mission (IEOM) have presented their preliminary statement on the Presidential and National Assembly elections in Nigeria.
On Monday in Abuja, the leader, Dr Joyce Banda, former President of Malawi, congratulated the people for “their resilience and enthusiasm”. “Despite large crowds in some polling stations and long waits, Nigerian voters demonstrated commitment to participate in the process and a strong desire to have their voices heard,” Banda said.
The mission noted that despite the reforms to the Electoral Act 2022, “the election fell well short of Nigerian citizens’ reasonable expectations”, while the electoral commission lacked transparency.
