A country rich in natural resources

Nigeria is a country rich in natural resources, oil, gas and coal. It is probably best known for its oil reserves and its plentiful supplies of gas that until relatively recently has been flared in order to access the oil. The proven Nigerian oil reserves are 23 Billion barrels; the gas reserves are 160 Trillion cubic metres. Whilst until now the exploitation of the oil reserves has predominated with potentially more gas than oil, the development of the gas market is very much on the agenda.
