In its bid to make the abundant gas resources more economically viable, and create jobs,the Federal Government has signed a gas sale and purchase agreement between the Shell Petroleum Development Company Joint Venture and Brass Fertiliser and Petrochemical Company Ltd.
The deal which is worth $3.3bn is expected to raise the supply of gas to 270million barrels per day.
Apart from the expected generation of $1.5bn annually from exports and saving the country $200m in foreign exchange annually, the understanding is also expected to rake in 5000 direct jobs and 35 thousand indirect jobs. .
