Abstract

About two months ago, precisely on Monday, 10 August, 2020, the Federal Government of Nigeria, in its bid to deepen the embrace, acceptability, and utilisation of gas amongst Nigerians, unveiled a Gas Transportation Network Code (“the Code”), which essentially, is a set of rules and guidelines for gas transportation in Nigeria. The Code which is meant to guide the use and operations of Gas Transportation Network system, is also expected to go a long way in deepening the domestic gas market while impacting positively on the growth and economic development of Nigeria. Unfortunately, many Nigerians are yet to appreciate fully the innovative provisions of the Code. It is appalling to know that many “energy experts” in Nigeria do not have sufficient knowledge of the contents of the Code. In this article, the writer attempts to do a section-by-section summary of the Code for the benefit of those who are passionate about understanding the nuances of the Code and of course makes cogent recommendations, to expedite the success of the Code.
