PRESS RELEASE CERAWeek: NNPC Ltd Woos Global Investors ...Says Robust Regulatory Reforms Have Transformed Nigeria into Investors’ Haven The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has called on global investors to direct their attention to the Nigerian oil and gas sector as the nation is now an investors’ haven owing to the robust regulatory reforms and the investment-friendly policies of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration. The Executive Vice President, Upstream, Mr. Udy Ntia, made the call on Tuesday during a session with investors at the 2025 CERAWeek by S&P Global in Houston, Texas, United States. Speaking on the theme: "Spotlight: Attracting Investment for Oil and Gas", Ntia emphasized that Nigeria was well-positioned as a safe and attractive destination for investment as the nation is currently expanding its oil and gas industry to meet rising global energy demand driven by geopolitical tensions and the energy policies of the US administration. "For us in Nigeria, despite global energy security concerns, including those in Europe, we see significant opportunities. We have strategically positioned our assets to leverage the current strong price environment, which has remained favourable over the past two to three years. As a result, we anticipate substantial investment inflows into the sector," he stated. The EVP listed some of the areas with huge investment opportunities in the country to include the refining and gas sub-sectors, stressing that Nigeria was keen on expanding it refining capacity to reduce dependency on imports, even as it is also interested in tapping into the nation’s vast gas reserves of about 207trillion cubic feet (TCF) to drive industrialisation and economic growth. "Gas will play a critical role in Nigeria’s energy future. We are expanding our gas infrastructure in collaboration with partners such as Shell, ENI, and Total. Our LNG Train 7 project is advancing, and we are investing in domestic pipeline networks to meet local energy demands," he explained. Ntia also disclosed that the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 and the series of Executive Orders signed by President Tinubu in 2023 have significantly liberalized the regulatory framework, offering incentives for cost recovery, royalty payments, and profit-sharing mechanisms, adding that Nigeria recorded $16 billion to $17 billion in foreign investment inflows in 2024 following the implementation of these regulatory reforms.
