Nigeria’s energy future holds immense potential. With vast natural gas reserves, the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) seeks to use gas as a "bridge fuel" to support the country’s energy transition, address power shortages, and create jobs. While gas offers a cleaner alternative to coal and oil, challenges such as low investment, outdated infrastructure, and community resistance must be overcome to fully realize its benefits.

The NGEP presents significant opportunities to drive economic growth, enhance energy access, and reduce carbon emissions. However, unlocking its full potential requires increased funding, clearer policies, and stronger community engagement. Achieving a sustainable energy future depends on strategic investments and collaboration across all sectors.
