The president is committed to the closure of that,” Lokpobiri said.“That is fundamental to the opening of new investments in the country now that the whole world is campaigning against investments in fossil fuel,” the minister said.

“The whole world will know that Nigeria has now become a new investment destination and that is what, as you know, the objective of this government is.”Speaking further, he said the country needs to solve its problems “ourselves; this is the time for us to evolve homegrown solutions to solve our energy problems”.
