It has helped monetize the country’s vast natural gas resources, fostered technological and engineering advancements, and provided employment opportunities for thousands of Nigerians. The revenue generated from the export of LNG has also played a vital role in supporting Nigeria's economy and diversifying its energy portfolio.
