“For a country like Nigeria that has over 200 trillion standard cubic feet of gas, to say that somebody is building a gas pipeline for the utilisation of gas, I don’t think that is a small thing.
“But a lot of people will not understand this until maybe when the president leaves office and in future, when we begin to have LPG everywhere for cooking and LNG so that most of our vehicles will convert to gas rather than petrol.”

Meanwhile, a United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has subpoenaed President Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

According to Sahara Reporters, Buhari was subpoenaed in his capacity as minister of petroleum through his Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari in a case between Simbi Kesiyi Wabote and US-based Nigerian-American journalist, Jackson Ude.
