How Nigeria Can Finally Get It Right With the Next LNG Windfall

Nigeria is on the brink of another energy windfall. Global demand for liquefied natural gas is surging, prices are rising, and our 200+ trillion cubic feet of reserves put us in a strong position. Yet history warns us that booms come and go. Long-term growth has lagged not because of revenue but due to poor allocation. To break this cycle, we need a simple, disciplined plan: stabilize the economy, invest in productivity, and drive sustainable growth. That means directing LNG earnings into logistics and infrastructure, digital systems, and affordable credit for SMEs. Ultimately, this isn’t just an energy opportunity—it’s a test of fiscal discipline. Without it, Nigeria risks wasting its next boom.
