The Republic of Cote D’ Ivoire has signaled its intention to procure Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) supplies from Nigeria in support of its growing power needs.

This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Department, NNPC.

It said the request came as Nigeria’s move to seek broader frontiers for its Liquefied Natural Gas away from the traditional Asian-pacific hub received a sub-regional.

It said the package, which was the first of its kind in the West African sub-region, would see Nigeria commit a small chunk of its daily LNG output to its sub-regional neighbours.

It said the output stood at over three billion cubic feet of gas per day.

It said the delegation from the Ivorien Ministry of Energy to the NNPC Towers, Abuja, was led by Kone Moussa, a Director.

The director, according to the statement, said that his country will be relying on structural diversion of LNG Cargoes from Nigeria as a starter within the next few months to tackle the growing energy needs.

He said the country had already entered into a working relationship with Sahara Energy to drive the process.

The Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr Joseph Dawha, while receiving the delegation, said the corporation was ready to cash in on the opportunity in line with its overall strategic expansion drive for Nigeria’s LNG market.

Dr. Dawha emphasised that the move would help broaden the supply base
