“Among its investment initiatives is the development of the 700km West African Gas Pipeline( WAGP), in partnership with ECOWAS, through which Nigeria supplies gas to Benin, Togo and Ghana.

“Chevron is interested in partnering with our country in developing our oil and gas resources, leveraging the tremendous human capacity in the country.
