The Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation , NNPC, Dr Maikanti Baru, has appealed to militants in the Niger Delta to stop attacks on oil facilities.
Baru made the appeal at the 26th edition of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum yesterday in Abuja.
According to him, with Nigeria’s enormous reserves in gas as the 9th largest in the World, unemployment and infrastructural challenges can be tackled but the disruptions are crippling activities like power generation.
He said that in spite of challenges, NNPC was committed to ensuring adequate gas supply to meet Nigeria’s industrial growth.
Baru said that strategic repositioning of the sector was ongoing to support massive gas-based industrialization to place Nigeria as the regional hub for gas-based industries such as fertilizer, methanol and petrochemicals.
