Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, has disclosed how Nigeria can solve problem of electricity.<\/p>\n

Kyari speaking at a media interactive session with National Association of Energy Correspondents in Abuja, on Friday, said gas will help the country out of its major challenge of electricity.<\/p>\n

He revealed that NNPC\u2019s new focus is on gas development as the most resilient source of energy in the energy transition process.<\/p>\n

Kyari said: \u201cThe only oil and gas that survived during the COVID-19 with minimal negative change was gas. Gas will help Nigeria out of its major challenge of electricity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the biggest challenge in Nigeria \u201cis to take electricity to homes, industries and to use the resources we have to create that energy this country needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, Nigerians do not have electricity because of its inability to transmit it to those in need of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday for two reasons we are not getting electricity because the production is low and we are not able to transmit it to those who need it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means there is bottle neck in transmission and distribution system,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The GMD noted that although Nigeria is known as an oil country it is more a gas nation than oil.<\/p>\n

He, however, assured that NNPC would continue to work to ensure full gas development in the country for economic growth, NAN reports.<\/p>\n

The lack of constant electricity is one of the problems affecting Nigerians today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
