"Nigeria has the biggest gas supply in Africa," Scholz was quoted by the Nigerian newspaper as saying."German companies are interested in gas deliveries from Nigeria and look forward to cooperation with Nigerian gas companies."
The German chancellor added that he was"eager to discover the country and strengthen and deepen our partnership," mentioning economic cooperation, investments, global issues, migration and security. Scholz said Germany was also looking into"joint initiatives to ramp up the hydrogen market," with hydrogen set to play an important role in the future."Germany has a considerable demand for natural gas and, going forward, hydrogen to fuel its economy and energy transition. Concrete amounts should be agreed on in negotiations between Nigerian gas producers and German gas traders," Scholz was reported to have said.
