Minister of State Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, has assured investors in the Nigerian gas sector of the security and safety of their investments.
The minister stated this Wednesday while hosting top officials of Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Company Group of China and China Road and Bridge Corporation, who are investors in the Brass Methanol and Gas Hub Project in Bayelsa State.
Ekpo said the government would create an enabling environment for investors in gas, which is the country’s transition fuel.
The minister, who spoke against the backdrop of political risks and security often nursed by prospective foreign investors to Nigeria, described the Brass project as one critical project of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
According to Ekpo, Nigeria is open for investments and investors, particularly in the gas sector need to entertain no fear.
“The Federal Government is committed to developing Nigeria’s gas reserves through projects such as the Brass Methanol project which presents an opportunity for the diversification of Nigeria’s economy.
