With the uncertainty surrounding production and demand due to the coronavirus pandemic, oil producers are beginning to deepen investment in gas production, to hedge impact and align with the government’s gas-to-power agenda.

The NNPC chief added that the Nigerian gas sector remained the largest and most vibrant in Sub-Saharan Africa with lots of potentials, especially in the deep water and untapped gas resources. 

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, said recently at an event in Lagos that the country can leverage on its enormous gas resource and position it as Africa’s hub for petrochemicals.
