The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has entered an agreement with Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board (NCDMB) for the establishment of an Integrated Methanol and Gas Plant in Odioma, Brass Island, Bayelsa State.

Delivering his remarks at the event, the Executive Secretary NCDMB, Engr. Simbi Kesiye Wabote said upon completion, the 10,000tonnes/day or 3.5million tonnes/year methanol plant will bring Nigeria onto the world map as one of the top-10 producers of methanol.
According to him, the Board’s partnership with BFPCL to enhance the delivery of the project would also provide opportunities in job creation, gas utilization, local availability of methanol for primary and secondary users, among other benefits.
