Nigeria must navigate gas pipeline project risk

Changing demand patterns, rising global LNG supplies, funding issues and regional insecurity threaten gas infrastructure buildout, but experts plot way ahead

Nigeria is focusing its energy plans on pipeline projects intended to enhance its gas industry. These include the Nigeria–Morocco pipeline, expanding the NLNG facility, reviving the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme (NGFCP), and pursuing the Trans-Saharan gas project. These initiatives drive economic growth, attract foreign investment and create jobs. However, a recent report from New York-headquartered non-profit the Natural Resources Governance Institute (NRGI) raises concerns about implementation and the risks posed by global energy changes. In particular, Nigeria’s gas resources and pipeline projects could become stranded assets due to the challenges of the energy transition
