Nigeria's Gas Resources Turned Into Valuable Assets

Nigeria's Gas Resources Turned Into Valuable Assets

Nigeria has one of the biggest natural gas resources in Africa. The goal is not just to own this gas. It is to change it into infrastructure that can power industries, transport people and goods, support cleaner energy, and create economic value.

The Midstream & Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) is playing a key role. They are investing in gas infrastructure that makes money. This includes CNG and LCNG stations, gas processing plants, pipelines, LNG facilities, and LPG storage.

In less than two years since making its first Final Investment Decisions, MDGIF has approved about ₦671 billion in FIDs. This has led to a total investment of ₦1.6 trillion and created a portfolio of 31 projects and 205 infrastructure assets.
