One interesting thing about the Nigeria LNG project is that, on October 4, 1976: A certain Colonel Muhammadu Buhari—at the time Nigeria’s Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources—signed, on behalf of @NigeriaGov, an Agreement with Shell & BP for an LNG Plant in Bonny.
That was the birth of the dream.
13 years later, on May 17, 1989, @NigeriaLNG Limited was incorporated, as a limited liability company to export LNG from Nigeria. Owned by 4 Shareholders: @NigeriaGov represented by @NNPCgroup (49%); Shell (25.6%); Total (15%) and Eni (10.4%).
