Latvin:
The argument by many people here needs to be tested. There are currently many projects cited in the South like refineries, major gas fired power plants, petrochemical companies, seaports, massive LNG plants, numerous factories, major gas pipelines, depots, fertiliser companies, even several of Dangote's industries.

The North is largely underdeveloped in comparison with the South. To unleash our economic potential, the North has to be industrialised to an extent that it can wean itself off dependency on handouts. The country has gas in abundance, both from the rich Niger Delta or from newly discovered oil and gas fields in the North. Utilising gas for power is much cheaper and more sensible than solar or wind which are more expensive to generate and can't be anywhere near the same scale.

Rather than keep reading meanings to such moves, citizens should embrace it and ensure it benefits our people. The more regions of the country gets developed, the better for all. Attacks by militants on Southern infrastructure did not mean we shouldn't continue building them.

Finally, Mele Kyari the GMD NNPC is from Borno State so that would have weighed heavily towards citing the gas plant in Maiduguri. Afterall, this is Nigeria where some of the decisions get driven by such considerations.

Oh Warri,PH and Bayelsa are fallen.A place that produces this resources are like ghost town.

In that case, you had better make use of the gas found in the north, dont bother to tap from our lines,

It does not make any economic sense channeling pipelines from the delta to far north ,

We have gas in abundant here in the delta that could last the next one million years , yet the federal govt stopped niger delta states from utilizing the gas for power generation to serving the delta states ,

Rather they want to use it to generate power for bornu state who inflicted self destruction on themselves because bokoharam fight is baseless, while this was the same reason they gave them north east development commission which makes use of oil proceed to develop the north east under the guise of bokoharam destruction,

It is finish for this country

Unfortunately, there's nothing they can do about it. Coming from a minority is something nobody should ever wish for. The majority will take you for granted and there's nothing you can do about it.

stanluiz:
Oga , stop being clever by half.

Most of these investment were done by private sectors. How can you build as gas power station in a terrorists ravaged state like borno ? Have they solve the problem of Boko Haram there.

What is the borno state contributing to the treasury of Nigeria ? This project is waste of money and resources because Boko Haram boys will target it and bomb it.

Ladumaa:
will ogoni ever be cleaned up??
Anyway, Thank you fg for the pipe line protection jobs you gave to our niger delta youths..
Our Darling daddy is doing very well for the Niger delta youths..

ThumbzTNA:
Where are the 'our oyel-ians'? They will use your oil to develop Maiduguri like they used it to develop Lagos and Abuja. But unfortunately, some of you think Igbos are your problem

Ammishaddai:
Our government is truly clueless. How can you be building a gas installation in a place that's overrun with insurgency? Anyway, another waste of resources is uploading

Lzaa the shocking thing is that those mufutaus coneheaded structured elements who kept on vomitting and foaming in the mouth against Diezani Oduah Asari PEJ GEJ Tompolo and even Ngozi Okonjo Iweala are nowhere to be found...

Their kemi adeosun who used a fake nysc picture to land s federal government ministerial job and was caught, nobody is saying anything!!!! But afonjas still keep on attacking Ngozi Okonjo Iweala till today!!!

Karlovych:
Resources from the south keep getting used to develop the north that contribute nothing tangible to the country, may thunder continue to strike Lugard's skeletons for establishing this fraud.
