NGA backs gas for Nigeria’s growth push
The Nigerian Gas Association pledged to advance industrial development through natural gas initiatives at a gathering in Lagos. President Akachukwu Nwokedi addressed attendees at the 15th annual conference of the Nigeria Liquefied and Compressed Gases Association, where he outlined plans for economic transformation. The association supports expanding access to liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas across the transportation and manufacturing sectors.
Nwokedi praised government programs supporting gas expansion, but noted that obstacles like inadequate infrastructure and funding shortages remain. The organization works with regulators and investors to strengthen policies across production and distribution networks. Association members represent operations from exploration through consumer delivery under frameworks established since 1999. Nigeria holds significant gas reserves that can support employment growth and cleaner energy systems through coordinated public-private action.
