The demand for Nigerian gas is fast rising in Africa following a fresh appetite for the resource in countries like Ghana, Togo, Benin Republic, among others, Punch says.

Currently, the West African Gas Pipeline operated the West African Gas Pipeline Company is said to be getting less gas for its capacity, which stakeholders say is undermining the dividends of economies of scale.

These African countries are said to be engaging gas producers in Nigeria to sign a contract or Memorandum of Understanding that would guarantee additional gas supply to reduce significantly the idle capacity on the pipeline, a stakeholder involved in the project disclosed to our correspondent.

The General Manager, Corporate Affairs, WAPCO, Mrs. Harriet Wereko-Brobby, confirmed that the declaration of “open access” for the pipeline in July 2012, had paved the way for WAGP to be available to other shippers aside NGAS.
