The signing of the agreement is the latest in the series of efforts aimed at ensuring that Nigeria can make more money from its Natural Gas resources as against the constant flaring of gas in the Niger Delta.
It will also help in ensuring that the impact of pollution on the environment is reduced and help in the reduction of Green house gases into the environment through the burning of fossil fuels.
This will also help that Nigeria becomes a major player in the energy market in Europe, following the supply uncertainty precipitated by the Russia-Ukraine war and its attendant effects.
