Nigeria: Jonathan Unveils Gas Agenda for Power, Industrialisation

Five months after the Federal Government launched the power sector roadmap, President Goodluck Jonathan will on Thursday unveil his gas revolution agenda to ensure greater availability of gas for power generation and also reposition the country as the undisputed regional hub for gas-based industries.

Briefing journalists Sunday in Abuja, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, said the president had a strong vision and passion to re-industrialise Nigeria, using the country's vast natural gas resources.

She said the combination of industrial investment agenda to be launched by Jonathan on Thursday would also include a world scale petrochemical plant, two fertiliser plants, five fertiliser blending plants, a methanol plant and a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution plant.
