He said to retain those values in-country at every stage of oil and gas process, a lot of gaps needed to be filled through government policy initiatives and collaboration with industry stakeholders. “Our intention is to support this government, to support this country to increase production of oil and gas.

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.’’
