The Oil and Gas Free Zone Authority (OGFZA) in Nigeria has secured $24 billion in investments, advocating for a tax waiver to exempt operations in special economic zones for 10 years. The Managing Director of OGFZA, Bamanga Usman Jada, made this announcement during a meeting with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in Rivers State.
