Platts: Nigeria promises to meet EU's long term gas supply needs
Nigeria, with reserves of over 180 trillion cubic feet of gas, is prepared to help meet the European Union's long term natural gas demands, Nigerian oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke said, according to a statement from her office Wednesday.
Alison-Madueke held talks with Guenther Oettinger, the EU Energy Commissioner, on the sidelines of EU-OPEC Energy Dialogue Ministerial Meeting in Brussels, on how Nigeria could help ensure the EU's long-term security and diversification of gas supplies, the statement said.
"The discussions focused on the role Nigeria can play in supporting the EU's energy sector priorities," Alison-Madueke was quoted saying.
