Nigeria’s strategy to transform its abundant natural gas reserves into a reliable power supply faces significant headwinds, according to a new analysis.
The report, titled 'Nigeria's Gas-to-Power Ambitions: Limits, Opportunities and Alternatives,' identifies three critical structural hurdles that are currently halting progress in the sector.
These flaws are preventing the power industry from performing optimally, keeping the nation’s energy goals out of reach despite the availability of resources.
The findings were unveiled at the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) event, underscoring the gap between policy intent and operational reality.
The analysis suggests that without addressing these foundational issues, the country will struggle to attract the sustained investment needed to modernize its energy infrastructure.
This comes as global markets increasingly scrutinize the viability of emerging market energy projects amid broader supply chain and geopolitical uncertainties.
