Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited

Manufacturers are increasingly embracing natural gas as rising diesel prices continue to pressure production costs and profitability across Nigeria’s industrial sector.

This was disclosed during a business and investment forum organised recently by Shell Nigeria Gas in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where stakeholders across the energy and manufacturing sectors explored opportunities to reduce operating costs and improve productivity through gas adoption.

The price of diesel has continued to rise lately due to the ongoing tension in the Middle East.

In a statement, Shell Nigeria Gas disclosed that the event coincided with the onboarding of two new industrial customers in Agbara, Ogun State—Intercontinental Distillers Limited II and Rumbu Industries Limited—into Shell Nigeria Gas’ expanding distribution network.
