“We have done the financial market pitch to know who has the capacity,” Attah said. 

Inside the financing plan: The fund is expected to comprise of debt and equity with Guaranty Trust and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation playing the role of financial advisers. The project is estimated to cost $7 billion in construction and an extra $3 billion for the installation of gas pipelines and equipment. 

Gas expansion: The project is expected to boost NLNG’s capacity from 22 million tonnes to 30 million tonnes as well as increase Nigeria’s natural gas capacity to meet China’s needs. The project is expected to boost Foreign Direct Investment, FDI profile of the country, and provide about 10,000 jobs during the construction stage. It is a sure way of attaining the 35% increase in its production capacity, from 22 million tonnes per annum, MTPA, to 30 MTPA. The project will last for five years. 

What this means: The completion of this project will spur Nigeria to compete with Qatar, Australia, Malaysia, and the U.S in the production of natural gas and be an industry leader in gas exportation.
