The first session titled ‘Opportunities in The Nigerian Oil & Gas Park as a Critical Enabler of Economic Growth’ is aimed at reinforcing to investors that Nigeria is indeed ready for the oil and gas business and re-emphasizing the point that the park will bring about localization of indigenous companies where fabrication, pipe milling, procurement hubs, and oil and gas related technologies will flourish.
