The Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board, NCDMB, has said it has partnered with 15 firms to set up projects covering modular refining, gas processing, gas distribution, power generation, manufacturing and others.
The general manager, Corporate Communication and Zonal Coordination, NCMDB, Dr Ginah O. Ginah, stated this yesterday at a media stakeholders meeting with the theme, “Enhancing media competencies to support Nigerian content in a gas economy”.
Ginah said 70 per cent of the board’s investments are on gas-based activities, especially midstream and downstream gas.
He said NCDMB investments underscore the importance of gas to Nigeria’s economic sustainability, apart from its role in the energy transition, adding that gas can lead Nigeria to food sufficiency, industrialization, increase in Grospowers Domestic Product, and electric power sufficiency.
