President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday charged the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) to deepen domestic gas utilisation, tackle gas flaring and ensure that the country\u2019s abundant gas resources translate into cheaper energy for ordinary Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President said Nigeria\u2019s energy resources would be of little value if they remained underground or failed to improve the lives of citizens, stressing that NLNG must balance its drive for increased revenues from the international market with the need to ease the energy burden at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinubu spoke while receiving the Board of Directors and Executive Leadership of NLNG, led by the company\u2019s Managing Director, Adeleye Falade, at the State House, Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He specifically urged the company to find ways of converting gas currently being flared, which constitutes an environmental liability, into an economic resource that would benefit Nigerian consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinubu acknowledged NLNG\u2019s efforts to expand its operations and take advantage of growing international demand, but insisted that Nigerians must also feel the impact of the company\u2019s success through greater domestic availability and affordability of gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He assured the NLNG leadership that his administration was prepared to provide further incentives necessary to stimulate growth and expand the company\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president, however, stressed that such expansion must ultimately serve the Nigerian economy and people, noting that the country\u2019s natural resources could only have meaningful value when harnessed productively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
