The Federal Government has launched the Nigerian Gas Transportation Network Code in Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari at the Nigeria International Petroleum Summit (NIPS) represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha assured the International Oil Companies (IOCs) of security on their investments.
He said they cannot have it better anywhere than Nigeria.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Silva, who unveiled the code noted: “In line with government’s policy to reinforce and expand gas supply and stimulate demand through the National Gas Expansion Programme, the code will provide open and competitive access to gas transportation infrastructure and development of the Nigerian Gas sector.

“Also, the code will stimulate the domestic gas supply market, drive gas-based industrialisation and the realisation of the government’s aspiration to move 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.”
