The NGA President, Aka Nwokedi, in a statement made available to The Nation, described the new policy directives as transformative milestones poised to revolutionise the country’s oil and gas sector energy landscape, with gas as a critical enabler. “This would significantly reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks and enhance operational efficiency across the sector.’’
