Nigerian National Gas Policy

This was a fundamental new approach to gas policy in Nigeria, moving away from a national planning approach to a project based approach based on open access, clear divisions of responsibilities and value chain segments, so as to attract new entrants to the national economy. It also included LNG exports, domestic gas market developments, infrastructure, managing a Ministry team of five. Within this was also included a detailed LPG policy, discussed with and agreed with the Nigerian LPG Association. Managed a Ministry team of four. The policy was well received by all the parties involved, Nigerian government and the corporate oil and gas sector (international and national). The National Gas Policy has now been gazetted, published and made part of Nigeria law.
