Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has held talks with a South Korean consortium, led by Daewoo E & C on the development of gas projects in Nigeria.
The discussions, which held in Seoul, South Korea, yesterday, were aimed at deepening NNPCL’s drive to tap into the nation’s vast gas resources to be a supplier of clean and affordable energy to the global market.
South Korea is a major destination for Liquefied Natural Gas exports and the consortium, in collaboration with the Korean Export-Import Bank, has expressed interest in advancing discussions on investing in green field and other gas development opportunities.
The talks will lead to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will unlock strategic foreign direct investment in line with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration’s policy of making Nigeria a prime destination for global investors.
Kyari has also congratulated Temile Development Company, an indigenous player in the gas sector, on the commissioning of its 23,000 cubic meters ultra-modern Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Carrier in Ulsan, South Korea today.
According to the GCEO, the vessel named, Alfred Temile 10, represents a significant stride towards deepening the utilisation of gas in-country and growing gas revenues.
