Nigeria: Tinubu Approves Incentives to Unlock $20bn Bonga Deepwater Project

President Tinubu's approval aims to attract $20 billion investment to unlock the long-delayed Bonga Southwest Aparo deepwater project, creating over 5,000 jobs, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu approved targeted fiscal incentives to unlock the long-delayed Bonga Southwest Aparo deepwater project, expected to attract about $20 billion in investment.
  • Stalled for nearly two decades, the project advanced after NNPC Ltd and partners resolved 2021 dispute settlement agreements, creating a competitive framework for long-term energy investments.
  • Located 1,000 meters deep, the facility will deliver 150,000 barrels of crude oil and 140 million standard cubic feet of gas daily upon completion, creating over 5,000 jobs.
  • NNPC Ltd Group Chief Executive Officer Bashir Ojulari noted that "partnership, persistence, and policy clarity" broke the long-standing development logjam, affirming Nigeria's commitment to unlocking energy potential.
  • Shell CEO Wael Sawan previously outlined a renewed investment push in Nigeria, though environmentalists raise concerns about potential degradation in the Niger Delta following exploration resumption.
