Tinubu Promotes Job Creation Through Nigeria's Gas Resources
On Thursday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to harnessing Nigeria's gas resources to power industries, improve electricity supply, create jobs, and boost export earnings. This statement was made during a meeting with Chief Dr Leemon Ikpea, Founder and Chairman of Lee Engineering Group, at the State House in Abuja.
Tinubu highlighted the achievement of Lee Engineering in constructing two compressor stations for the Escravos–Lagos Pipeline System, which will enable the pipeline to operate at its full capacity of 2.3 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day. He urged international oil companies to provide more opportunities for competent Nigerian engineering firms in major energy projects.
The project aims to enhance gas transportation to power plants and industries, support increased gas supplies to West African countries, and generate additional export revenue. Tinubu also mentioned upcoming executive orders and directives to attract investment and expand opportunities for Nigerian businesses.
