zone for the pilot programme.
He also added that the Federal Government is committed to ensuring an
end to gas-flaring and had signed the climate change bill, to reduce the
emission of greenhouse gases in the country.
The Vice President however noted that the country had proven gas
reserves of 260 trillion cubits feet and unproven reserve of 600 cubits
feet, adding that all that would remain statistics if stakeholders failed to
take proactive measures on exploiting the resource.
