One of the objectives of the Gas Masterplan is to ensure the sustainable supply of gas to the power sector, review gas pricing to encourage investors by enabling them secure bankable agreements. It also transformed Nigeria into a regional hub for gas based industries due to major investments in the petrochemicals, methanol and fertilizer sectors.
