The Latest News from Nigeria and Around the World
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd, has reiterated its commitment towards utilising Nigeria’s abundant gas resources to trigger Nigeria’s industrialisation and economic development.NNPC Ltd’s Executive Vice President, Upstream, Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan disclosed this during a panel session at the ongoing 2024 CERAWeek conference in Houston, the United States.
She noted that NNPC Ltd’s plans to deepen gas utilisation domestically for industrialisation and ensure that the entire country feels and optimises the use of the resource. Eyesan observed that the NNPC Ltd is also focused on emission reduction and gas flare-out. “We want to capture all gas flared, utilise it for domestic use and ultimately, increase our energy transition footprints.
While calling on African countries to collaborate to ensure even distribution of energy resources, Eyesan said collaboration is key, as not all countries within the sub-region are endowed with equal proportion of energy resources.“For us to ensure that we continue to subsist within the sub-region, we must be willing to work collaboratively and ensure that there is even distribution of energy resources we have across the sub-region.
