Tinubu Announces 60% Local Workforce for Ima Gas Field
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated that Nigeria will supply 60% of the workforce for the $800 million Ima Gas Field, which was discovered in 1973. In a post on X, he highlighted the positive impact of reforms aimed at revitalizing Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
Since taking office, he has implemented several Presidential Directives and Executive Orders to attract investment, reduce project development costs, and enhance certainty for investors. The Ima Gas Field, which has remained undeveloped for over fifty years, is now set for development following a Final Investment Decision by AMNI International and TotalEnergies.
The project is expected to produce approximately 350 million cubic feet of gas daily at peak production, supplying about one-third of the gas needed for the expansion of Nigeria LNG. The initiative is anticipated to create jobs for engineers, technicians, and contractors from local communities, boosting economic activity and export earnings.
