Russia-Ukraine War - Report Identifies Risks in Expansion of Nigeria's Gas Production PremiumTimesng: Nigeria
The report, titled:"Gas Expansion and the Energy Transition in Nigeria and the Niger Delta," said the country's weak enforcement of standards and regulations has enabled oil and gas companies to"continue to operate without due care."
But after extensive research into the oil and gas sector in Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta region, the SDN urged the Nigerian government to tread with caution in its expansion plans,"to avoid redirecting resources away from more sustainable infrastructure, delaying the clean energy transition, and deepening dependence on fossil fuels, which could result in stranded assets and debt that will be difficult to repay as demand and prices fluctuate.
The report said its findings around the facilities include"visible gas leaks along pipelines that are generally poorly installed, not sufficiently maintained, run overground, and alongside roads and settlements." "Visibly polluted waterways, farmland, and air, which make it no longer economically productive for stable livelihoods of farming, fishing, and hunting."
"So we would like to await the full research presentation so that we have a full knowledge of what it is talking about," the official said.
