The $5 billion Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Train 7 project has reached 92 per cent completion and is now advancing into systems completion and pre-commissioning, marking a major milestone for Nigeria’s gas expansion drive and local content development.

That was as Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) said the number of companies operating in the country’s upstream oil and gas sector had risen from less than 10 to 117, while service firms surged to 11,764 currently.
