While making a presentation during the Senate Committee on Gas oversight visit to the NNPC Towers in Abuja, the Group General Manager, Gas Infrastructure Development (GID) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Engr. Farouk Said, indicated that the NNPC is currently working on six priority gas projects that would link gas-to-power and gas-to-industries to boost the national economy and reposition the country for profitability, The Nation reports.
Said explained that the current gas infrastructure projects being executed are in tandem with the Gas Master Plan which was approved by the last Federal Executive Council adding that the plan would have a spin off effect on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country.
A statement by the Corporation’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, yesterday, quoted Said as saying: “In line with the mandate of GID, we are currently executing six critical gas infrastructure projects. Four of them are pipeline projects; the others are the Gas Revolution Industrial Park (GRIP) and the Western and Central Processing Plants.”
