At the 2nd panel session “Building a Bankable Gas Distribution Ecosystem: Infrastructure, Capital and Market Demand” Ralph Gbobo recalled that when SNG started in Agbara–Ota over 20 years ago, demand was nowhere near what it is today but that SNG’s persistence proved that when demand ambition, supply certainty, enabling infrastructure, and commercial clarity come together, even if not perfectly at the start, it creates industrial clusters that can grow and attract long-term capital.

At the 2nd panel session of the ALDG Business Forum, MD, Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG), Ralph Gbobo additionally noted in particular:
🎤“The introduction of gas-focused policies, notably the Petroleum Industry Act, marked a turning point. By reinforcing the role of gas in Nigeria’s energy and industrial strategy and embedding instruments such as the Network Code- a critical framework that governs the operations of the Domestic Gas market and ensures transparency and stability, and the Domestic Gas Supply Obligation which compels gas producers to allocate gas to the domestic market, the PIA significantly reduced policy ambiguity around gas development.”
🎤🎤 “The introduction of clearer pricing frameworks for gas supply and transportation and a more transparent and competitive licensing regime, has also strengthened market confidence. Together, these measures have improved producer confidence, particularly for domestic gas projects, and signaled government’s strong commitment to gas as a driver of industrial development.”

At the 2026 Business Forum of the Association of Local Distributors of Gas (ALDG) themed “From Gas abundance to Gas Access: Reassessing Nigeria’s Gas Distribution Imperatives” held recently in Abuja with policymakers, regulators and key industry stakeholders shaping the gas sector in attendance, MD, Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG) Ralph Gbobo, who was represented by Head, Gas Distribution, Chukwuka Amos-Ejesi recalled that Shell was the pioneer gas distributor in Nigeria almost 30years ago.👍
This pioneer role, together with the expansion of pipeline natural gas infrastructure and the market-making role of gas distributors, have been critical in moving gas from a policy aspiration to a practical energy solution for Nigerian industries.

Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG) recently hosted a Business and Investment Forum in Port Harcourt, bringing together key industry stakeholders to explore opportunities to reduce operating costs, enhance productivity, unlock investment returns, and strengthen competitiveness through the adoption of natural gas.
In a keynote address delivered by SNG’s Head of Gas Distribution, Chukwuka Amos-Ejesi, on behalf of the Managing Director, SNG, Ralph Gbobo, the strategic advantages of natural gas for manufacturers was highlighted - “Companies that transition to natural gas consistently benefit from lower and more predictable energy costs, reduced exposure to liquid fuel price volatility, enhanced operational uptime, improved planning certainty, and stronger competitive offering for their customers,” he said. “Our focus is to provide solutions that deliver immediate economic value while supporting long-term growth.”

In this @SPGMarketIntel Executive Insight with @NatznetOnAfrica , Vice President and Head of Analysis, Global Insights at S & P Global Market Intelligence, @OluVerheijen discussed how Nigeria is positioning itself amid global disruptions in the energy sector.
She emphasized that Nigeria’s reform agenda is no longer focused on simply adding more oil barrels or LNG cargoes, but on building a functional, market-driven system capable of attracting private-sector capital at scale.
According to her, the goal is to deliver reliable power to the economy, support a competitive manufacturing sector, and ultimately drive productivity, job creation, and income growth across the value chain.

Today I met with Mr.@FaledeLeye who recently assumed office as @officialnlng Managing Director on a courtesy visit with his team.
Our discussions covered NLNG’s continued role in monetising Nigeria’s abundant natural gas resources, alongside notable improvements in plant performance, now averaging above 86 percent utilisation, driven by enhanced security in the Niger Delta.
We also discussed progress on the Train 7 project, scheduled for commissioning in 2027, and the potential for further expansion through Train 8 plus to deliver value for Nigeria
