NGA lauds operators for Eko Atlantic gas project

In a statement, the President of NGA, Mr Akachukwu Nwokedi, highlighted the importance of the development in supporting Nigeria’s energy transition.

“The successful commissioning of this 5km pipeline network, connecting Eko Atlantic City to PNG, is a testament to the visionary leadership at Axxela and NGML to foster energy efficiency and promote sustainable urban development in Nigeria. This milestone enhances the energy security of the Victoria Island metropolis and sets a benchmark for future urban energy solutions in Nigeria,” Nwokedi said.

The NGA president noted that the collaboration between Axxela and NGML exemplified the power of strategic partnerships in driving the Decade of Gas agenda, a transformative initiative that seeks to maximise Nigeria’s gas resources for national development.

He expressed optimism that the project, in addition to the renewed focus and efforts to improve and expand gas supply sources, would inspire further investments in natural gas infrastructure across Nigeria, strengthening the country’s position as a leader in the global energy transition.

“We envision a country where all of Nigeria’s leading commercial cities are connected to natural gas to foster increased energy access for residents, accelerate industrialisation, engender affordable energy prices, cement supply security, and advance environmental stewardship.
