Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) says Nigeria can make huge money from gas due to the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday, the President, Michael Olawale-Cole urged the Federal Government to address gas infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He noted that supply to countries in Europe would boost earnings since Russia\u2019s oil and gas are under ban.<\/p>\n

Olawale-Cole called for the completion of projects like the planned Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, from Nigeria to Algeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should target Trans-Saharan and European markets with the ongoing construction of the Ajaokuta, Kaduna, Kano Gas Pipeline (AKK).<\/p>\n

\u201cArising from the calamities of this war, Nigeria can explore emerging opportunities to earn huge foreign exchange inflow in the medium to long-term\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Olawale-Cole advised Nigeria to open up its reserves to boost the supply of grains to stabilise prices of wheat in the short term.<\/p>\n

The LCCI chief added that the government could initiate imports from other sources outside the war zones.<\/p>\n

The battle, according to him, may make the world\u2019s hunger crisis tougher as the countries are two of the major suppliers of grains like wheat.<\/p>\n

He said Nigeria\u2019s food supply \u201cwill come under some pressure as it imported 4 per cent of wheat from Ukraine and 27 per cent of wheat from Russia in 2021\u201d.<\/p>\n

Olawale-Cole stressed the need to boost local production of grains to levels that meet local demand.<\/p>\n

The business mogul urged authorities to speed up the evacuation of Nigerians from Ukraine.<\/p>\n
