Nigeria Grants License for Floating LNG Facility
The Federal Government has issued UTM Offshore Limited a ‘Licence to Construct’ Nigeria’s first Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility, with a capacity of 2.8 million tonnes per annum. This project, part of the Decade of Gas Initiative, aims to enhance gas production and utilization in the country. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, emphasized its importance in achieving President Bola Tinubu’s vision to transform the gas industry.
Ekpo commended UTM’s leadership and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority for their roles in advancing the initiative. He assured the government’s full support, highlighting the project’s potential to boost LNG exports, create jobs, and solidify Nigeria’s position as a key energy player in Africa by 2030.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
