Nigeria is targeting a significant boost in gas export earnings and domestic LPG supply as Nigeria LNG Limited works toward starting up its $10 billion Train 7 project by the end of 2027, a development the company says will lift its production capacity by 35 per cent and increase supply of cooking gas to the domestic market by 50 per cent. The managing director and chief executive officer of NLNG, Adeleye Falade, disclosed the timeline while speaking with journalists on the sidelines of the Gastech conference in Bangkok, Thailand, where he said construction at Bonny Island, Rivers State, was now over 92 per cent complete, with pre-commissioning activities already under way. The project, delayed for years by the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption the Russia-Ukraine war caused to global supply chains, is expected to push Nigeria's export earnings higher and move the country from its current position as a leading African supplier to a more prominent global player.
