The President of the Nigerian Gas Association (NGA), Mr. Akachukwu Nwokedi, has urged coordinated efforts to unlock Nigeria’s vast gas resources and power the country’s industrial renaissance.
Speaking at the 3rd Gas Investment Forum (GIF 2025) held on October 7 at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, Nwokedi described natural gas as “an economic multiplier” that can boost energy access, food security, clean cooking, industrial competitiveness, and regional integration.
He applauded the Tinubu administration for prioritising gas development and welcomed the participation of the International Gas Union president, calling it proof of Nigeria’s growing global energy relevance.
Nwokedi called for action to turn the nation’s 200+ trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves into real economic value through investment, partnerships, and policy reforms.
“This forum offers more than dialogue it is a launchpad for ideas, partnerships, and investments that turn potential into performance,” he said.
He also highlighted NGA’s role as a bridge between government, industry, and investors to drive infrastructure development, policy acceleration, and market growth.
