Lagos — The Federal Government through the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva has revealed plans to lift no fewer than one hundred million Nigerians out of poverty through the implementation of National Gas Expansion Programme, NGEP.
In a statement on Monday, Sylva said the Federal Government was committed to giving jobs to millions of young Nigerians.
He said, “Counting the impacts of the programme on our socioeconomic space within the first year of its launching, the administration further stepped up its commitment to industrialising Nigeria through gas utilisation by declaring year 2021 to 2030 ‘Decade of Gas’.
“With proven gas reserves of over 200 million cubic feet and natural gas presents an opportunity for the nation to use gas as the catalyst for its socio-economic renaissance.”
