Funded from the Nigerian Content Development Fund (NCDF), Nedogas exemplifies NCDMB’s commitment to capacity building and catalyzing local projects in the Nigerian oil and gas sector, aligning with the Nigeran Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act.

Ogbe emphasized the potential for replicating Nedogas’ success story in other oil- and gas-producing communities to mitigate gas flaring, affirming NCDMB’s readiness for continued collaboration with the company.

Emeka Ene, Chairman of Nedogas, expressed gratitude for NCDMB’s investment, highlighting the company’s commitment to further collaboration and expansion.

The Nedogas project not only eliminates flared gas but also converts environmental pollutants into valuable products, establishing a strategic gas gathering hub and injection node for rapid market access.

This initiative contributes to economic sustainability, enhances Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and aligns with the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas program.

NCDMB’s partnership with Nedogas underscores its strategic investments aimed at realizing the Federal Government’s objectives in the oil and gas industry, reflecting a tangible impact on the economy and infrastructure development.
