The Group Executive Director, Gas and Power, of the state-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. David Ige, has said that the full implementation of the gas master plan may position Nigeria as the largest producer of fertilizer in Africa by 2018. Besides, Nigeria has grown its gas supply market from 300 million to 2 billion cubic feet per day (cfpd).
Nigeria’s Guardian newspaper report on Tuesday said that Ige told journalists, in Abuja that the Nigerian gas master plan would increase the country’s earning from gas resources.
Ige attributed the increase in gas supply to successful implementation of the gas master plan and described the plan as a policy document that has basically outlined government’s aspiration for the commodity.
According to him, the implementation has already positioned Nigeria to be the largest producer of fertiliser by 2018 on the continent.
He noted that the policy has impacted positively on the sector and that everything that is outlined in it is being implemented to the letter.
