Commenting on Gas flaring, Kachikwu noted that government planned to stop gas flaring under the gas commercialization project by the year 2020 – 10 years ahead of the United Nation’s deadline.

“We are going to bring in private companies into the facilities to trap the gas being flared, convert them, and use them b find oth for power generation and other purposes.

“And that programme has been ongoing and we have more than 7,000 applications and we need to zero in on those with the engineering, financial and even technical capacity to extract the products.

“Once we do that, we can exit 100 per cent from house gas flaring by 2020, and that is a project the Federal Government business has invested so much energy on,” he stated.

The minister lauded the military for the projects, saying their commitment to securing the project was in line with the 7Bigwins of the government.

He added that if properly managed, the project could create jobs and help to maintain clean environment, among other things.

Kachikwu, therefore, urged other stakeholders to emulate the military to help boost domestic use of LPG in the country. (NAN)
