The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on Monday said it was currently working on building pipelines that would deliver gas from Nigeria to Europe.

NNPC’s Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari, disclosed this while speaking virtually at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum. The forum was hosted in the United Arab Emirates.

He stated that Nigeria was moving away from dirtier fuel to cleaner energy, adding that gas had been picked by the Federal Government as Nigeria’s transition fuel.

Kyari said, “What we are doing is some kind of replacement such that we move from the dirtier fuel to cleaner fuel which is gas.

“And what we had to do is to build the enormous gas infrastructure required to ensure that there is sufficient supply of gas into the domestic market and provide some for the international market.

“And more than that, within the West African context, you will see that energy inefficiency and poverty that you see in Nigeria is also in many West African countries around us.”

He added, “Therefore, we are trying to see how we can build a network of pipeline infrastructure that will deliver gas and potentially to jump into Europe through Morocco or through Algeria.”

On Friday, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, told a delegation from the European Union that Nigeria was ready to step in as an alternative gas supplier to Europe.

Sylva, however, urged the European Union to step up investments in gas and hydrocarbon in Nigeria so that the country would be able to help meet the EU energy needs.

His call came on the heels of the festering war between Ukraine and Russia, which currently posed a threat to gas supply to European countries.

Exactly

What a joke. People wey never fit deliver gas from source to electricity generation stations a few kilometers away.

If you carry Nigeria matter for head, you get high blood pressure at a young age of 30years. Na thunder go faya these our leaders one by one.

They never even start self. I was thinking they have started building the pipeline

Is this supposed to be a joke or something ? The country gas plants aren't working at installed capacities due to inadequate supply of gas thereby plunging the country into prolong darkness, yet NNPC is proposing white elephant projects that will only end up as a pipe dream

They would start in year 2095. Funny people.

You people are just wasting ur time, Nigeria can never work and will soon disintegrate

Easier said than done

Misleading headline, they're building nothing and the Europeans no send them sef.

Lol....

Joke of the year....

I few weeks back when FG asked US for funding to supply gas to Europe. The response FG got was 'attend to the shortage in your country before supplying Europe' which was a systematic insult to us but hate will make so many see it as nothing. The US knows power is about to change hands and so many countries will be free from their shackles. If this is true i must commend FG on this one for being dogged in their quest ti strengthen the Naira. Nice move My honorable minister. God bless everyone truly giving their best to move our darling country forward. All the wolves in sheep clothing will surely meet their waterloo.

The North is currently looting the nation blind while concentrating projects in the North as well as federal job recruitments. They're preparing for Nigeria's eventual collapse while piling up debts for the country while the south is busy playing woke politics.

Fool! Still running the criminal enterprise.

Hmmm, another way of stealing trillions of naira ooo, chaii APC is fantastically kworrupt ...

These people go just dey yarn dust... the one for Nigeria una don fit construct and maintain them?

For more jokes text NNPC to 419

Charity begins at home... You cant deliver in Nigeria and you think you can deliver in Europe? Bunch of jokers!

I thought the same Europeans said that oil and gas was going out of fashion and we should resort to only green technology, even World Bank stopped funding fossil fuel power plants such as coal.
Suddenly, Russia has exposed everything, they didn't want us to have steady power from our abundant gas and now they are desperately trying to boycott Russian gas.
They should use solar and wind energy to replace Russia gas as they have been preaching to us, I blame our mumu leaders attending their nonsense seminars and conferences and coming back with ineffective ideas from them

Why do we have northern Nnpc? At least I know of two. One in Abuja, the other at Ikoyi. Does Nnpc belong to the north, or there's a northern Nnpc branch?
Does this country belong to the north?

Just build a functional refinery in Nigeria first. Bunch of fools.

Make una give us affordable gas first na

Haba

Well....

White elephant project.

That would just be the next cash cow for our polithiefcians.

This one no be deep sea fibre optics o. You mean about 7000 kilometers of hard subsurface high pressure gas pipeline cutting through different geographies enroute Europe.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying it can't be done, but it CAN'T be done by the present crop of Nigerian leadership. It is going to be capital intensive and a long term plan: a virtue alien to us.

Secondly, European politicking won't allow Nigeria to breathe once that succeeds.

Abeg, I still dey sleep.
