Nigeria may account for 23 percent of all oil and gas projects in Africa within the next four years, a report by GlobalData, an oil data and analytics company, has shown.

The report also indicated that over 100 oil and gas projects are set to start in Nigeria by 2025 to reduce the country’s reliance on fuel importation to meet the local demands.

A breakdown of the projects, according to the report, shows that petrochemical projects will hold the highest share of new projects in Nigeria through 2025 with 28 projects, followed by 25 expected upstream oil and gas projects, 24 refinery projects, and 23 midstream projects.

According to the report, some of the notable projects in the upstream sector include the deepwater Bonga North oilfield and the onshore conventional gas Okpokunou cluster development.

Bonga North is currently in its Front End Engineering Design (FEED) stage and is expected to start operations by 2025. Cluster development is at a feasibility stage and is expected to begin operations by 2024.

Projects in Nigeria’s refining sector will also be closely watched as Nigeria is eager to reduce its reliance on fuel imports, revamp its old refineries, and build new ones.

Dangote refinery with a production capacity of 650,000 barrel per day will be a key project, which is expected to start operations in 2022 and become the largest oil refinery in Africa.

Commenting on the development, Oil & Gas Analyst at GlobalData, Teja Pappoppula, said: “Nigeria is betting on several refinery and petrochemicals projects to meet its growing domestic demand and reduce its reliance on imports.

“The projects also have potential to transform Nigeria as an exporter of refined products to neighbouring countries.

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country. The Olu, who said he was elated by the Soun’s visit, said the new Ogbomoso monarch’s choice of Warri kingdom as his first place of visit was divinely directed, just as his choice for the throne was divinely ordained. He said that they owe i
