The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has announced the need for an additional $50 billion in investments to develop the country’s midstream oil and gas sector.
According to the Authority’s Chief Executive, Engr. Farouk Ahmed, the funds are required to finance critical infrastructure such as gas processing plants, pipelines, storage facilities, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. This investment drive aligns with the Federal Government’s agenda to expand gas utilization, enhance energy security, and stimulate industrial growth.
Ahmed emphasized that a robust midstream sector is vital for maximizing the value of Nigeria’s hydrocarbon resources, reducing flaring, and ensuring stable domestic supply.
The call for funding comes as Nigeria intensifies efforts to attract private and international capital into its energy sector amid competitive global investment landscapes.
