Nigeria presents a significant macroeconomic investment opportunity with the largest population in Africa and an economy predicted to grow faster than Russia, Brazil or South Africa over the next 10 years. There is now an increased focus by the Federal Government on developing transportation and power infrastructure in public-private partnerships to support this economic growth.

Nigeria's Energy Sector

Nigeria has substantial discovered gas reserves, but an undeveloped domestic gas market due largely to a lack of investment in infrastructure to bring gas to market with most gas development projects directed to the LNG export market.
