He  noted that LPG business is going to be well  explored, in view of the fact that there is available market for it, coupled with the fact that the country has already declared a Decade of Gas. There is also 5000 metric tons each.

According to him, the liquid business is an open market for all to take advantage to exploit rather than explore, 

“In gas infrastructure, there’s a lot of opportunities and it is our energy future consumption, therefore, we need to improve storage and distribution across the region.” h added.

The MOMAN Chairman advocated for a government transition programme and urged stakeholders and government to demonstrate support, show regulatory framework, commitment of investment infrastructure and meet the citizens need of adoption to LPG as cooking and commercial gas over biomass.

There is need to build and develop capacity to source for long term investors while collaborating with other countries to work together.

Oil Block: Why Fed Govt Prioritises Production Bonus To Attract Local & Foreign Investors
