Speaking at a meeting with a delegation from the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG), Buhari assured of his administration's full support for plans to expand the total production capacity of the company, and expressed regrets that political squabbles and interference in the past had prevented it from attaining its full potentials.

"Today, we are celebrating six trains. It could have been 12 trains if all had gone according to plan," President Buhari said.

The NLNG delegation included the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr Joseph Dawha and the Managing Director of NLNG, Mr. Babs Omotowa.

Mr. Omotowa requested the President’s support for Train 7 of the NLNG, which, he said would create additional 18,000 construction jobs and an additional three billion dollars dividend to government when operational.

He also asked for the President’s intervention in reducing the number of multiple government agencies around the plant that have made its business globally uncompetitive.
