By sanctioning the construction of Nigeria LNG Limited’s Train 7 project, the Federal Government and shareholders have solidified a path toward the creation of thousands of jobs, boost economic growth and makes Nigeria one of the world’s largest providers of cleaner energy, a former Managing Director of Nigeria LNG Limited, Babs Omotowa has said. Omotowa stressed that the announcement of the Final Investment Decision for Train 7 is a big breakthrough in a decade – long process fraught with uncertainty, obfuscation and danger to the economy. He added: “NLNG’s expansion project is truly one of the most important and transformational projects in our country. It will bring $10billion of foreign investment for the Train and gas supplies, and enable over 30,000 jobs to be provided during construction. “I heartily congratulate the NLNG Shareholders (NNPC, Shell, Total and Eni), Board, Management and Staff for their untiring efforts and achievement of this significant milestone.
