Nigeria has declared 2021-2030 a Decade of Gas - greater investment focus on CNG, LPG, LNG, Gas2Power, etc, while also curbing flaring. Finally time to act like a country that has much more gas than oil, especially considering that gas also much cleaner than oil.

Nigeria concluding its first sale of Marginal Oil fields in almost 20 years. 161 winning bids in all, according to regulator, @dprhotline. FGN expecting ~$600m in total in signature bonuses, roughly half of the winners have paid already; payment deadline sometime in April.
The last completed bid round for Marginal Fields took place 2001-2003, under the OBJ administration. A 2013 attempt under GEJ admin failed - was never concluded.
Marginal Field defined as a portion of a discovered & licensed field that has been left unattended for a period not less than 10 years from date of 1st discovery. It’s then carved out from larger licensed area (OML), for allocation as “Marginal Field” to a successful bidder.

Expectedly, LAW-L. 5% or 10% of £4.2m is a swith sum.

But: “A former Law dean, ESUT, Prof. Agu Gab Agu, [pointed] out that even though Ibori was Delta Gov, it had not been estab. the money was removed from state’s treasury hence resorting to court over custody was unnecessary.”
“His view is shared by a Lagos-based advocate and member of the Justice Reform Project, Charles Candide-Johnson (SAN) corroborates Agu, noting that Omirhobo’s suit against the Federal Government is an idle threat, and the outcries about the money “farcical and cynical.””
“[Candide-Johnson] further argued that the MoU is binding at the sovereign level, pointing out that Delta State government is not a sovereign nation, and did not make any complaint about its money being stolen.”

In 1994, the Groundbreaking for the NDDC Headquarters was carried out - it was OMPADEC at the time.

Twenty six (26) years, and 17 CEOs later, it has fallen on President @MBuhari to COMPLETE and COMMISSION the #NDDCHQ building.

Commissioning ongoing.

#NDDCHQ
“For 15 years the rented NDDC HQ was not connected to national grid, so they can give out contracts for diesel. That became a racket on its own.” — HM Godswill Akpabio #NDDCHQ
