Nigerian Insists On Electing The Head of West African Gas Authority

The federal government has insisted that it wasn’t in breach of any part of the treaty setting up the West African Gas Pipeline Authority by the selection of a Nigerian to head the organisation. <br />The francophone countries insist that Nigeria cannot have both the headquarters and the director-general simultaneously. <br />Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Mr Timipre Sylva, maintained that the Accra resolution of November 2021, to move ahead with the appointment of a Nigerian as the head of the body remains very critical. <br />He called for the understanding of member nations, urging them to stick to the rules set up the body.
