Nigeria’s gas infrastructure maximisation plan has entered a new gear with the African Export-Import Bank and the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

“Through this partnership, we are unlocking the potential to mobilise up to $500m over the next four years for Nigeria’s gas infrastructure.

“More importantly, we are creating a pipeline of bankable projects, supported by feasibility studies, project preparation, and risk-sharing mechanisms, that will accelerate the pace of investment in pipelines, processing facilities, LNG, and other critical infrastructure”, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, stated while reacting to the development.

The signing of the MoU aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s quest to use Nigeria’s gas industry to trigger industrialisation and sustainable growth, it would also lead to accelerated delivery of products

“We are not just raising money; we are creating the framework for sustainable gas development that supports jobs, industries, and Nigeria’s future prosperity,” Nigeria’s gas minister, Ekpo, added.

In the opinion of the MDGIF’s Executive Director, Oluwole Adama: “Anchored on our statutory mandate under the Petroleum Industry Act and aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s agenda, this partnership with Afreximbank enables MDGIF to mobilise capital, expand critical midstream and downstream infrastructure, reduce flaring, and deliver sustainable energy solutions that power industries, create jobs, and improve livelihoods across Nigeria,” he said.
