Buka Isithombe Esikhulu
Kubikwa ukuthi muva nje, uJonathan, uMongameli waseNigeria unxuse ukwanda kwegesi, ngoba igesi enganele isivele ikhuphule izindleko zabakhiqizi futhi yasongela inqubomgomo yokuthi uhulumeni ulawula amanani.E-Nigeria, igesi inguphethiloli oyinhloko osetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza ugesi ezinkampanini eziningi.
NgoLwesihlanu olwedlule, iDangote Cement plc okuyibhizinisi elikhulu kunawo wonke eNigeria futhi ephinde ibe ngumkhiqizi usimende omkhulu kunawo wonke e-Afrika ithe le nkampani kufanele isebenzise uwoyela omkhulu ukukhiqiza ugesi ngenxa yokungatholakali kwegesi eyanele, okubangele ukuthi inzuzo yenkampani yehle ngo-11%. ingxenye yesibhakela yalo nyaka.Le nhlangano icele uhulumeni ukuthi athathe izinyathelo zokuxazulula izinkinga zokuhlinzekwa kwegesi kanye nowoyela.
Uthishanhloko weDangote Cement plc uthe, “Ngaphandle kukagesi namafutha, ibhizinisi ngeke liphile.Uma izinkinga zingaxazululeki, kuzokhulisa isithombe sokungasebenzi kanye nokuphepha eNigeria futhi kuthinte inzuzo yenhlangano.Sesivele silahlekelwe cishe u-10% wamandla okukhiqiza.Engxenyeni yesibili yalo nyaka, usimende uzoncipha.”
Engxenyeni yokuqala ye-2014, izindleko eziqoqiwe zokuthengiswa kwe-Lafarge WAPCO, i-Dangote Cement, i-CCNN ne-Ashaka Cement, abakhiqizi abane abakhulu bakasimende eNigeria banda besuka ku-1.1173 NGN abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2013 kuya ku-1.2017 amakhulu ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ze-NGN kulo nyaka ngo-8%.
Imithombo yegesi yaseNigeria isendaweni yokuqala e-Afrika, ifinyelela ku-1.87 trillion cubic feet.Kodwa-ke, ukuntuleka kwezinto zokucubungula, inani elikhulu legesi elihambisana nokuxhashazwa kukawoyela liyakhishwa noma lishiswe ngeze.Ngokwemininingwane yoMnyango Wezinsiza zikawoyela, kumoshwa okungenani igesi engu-3 billion dollars unyaka nonyaka.
Ithemba lokuthi kwakhiwe amapayipi amaningi egesi kanye nezimboni kuphazamisa uhulumeni ekulawuleni amanani entengo kagesi futhi kuhoxise abatshalizimali.Ngemva kokungabaza iminyaka eminingi, ekugcineni uhulumeni ukuthathela phezulu ukutholakala kwegesi.
Muva nje, u-Diezani Alison-Madueke ungqongqoshe we-Ministry of Oil Resources umemezela ukuthi intengo yegesi izokhuphuka isuka ku-1.5 dollar per million cubic feet kuya ku-2.5 dollar per million cubic feet, enezela enye i-0.8 njengezindleko zokuhamba zomthamo osanda kukhuphuka.Intengo kaphethiloli izolungiswa njalo ngokuya ngokwehla kwamandla emali e-US
Uhulumeni ulindele ukukhuphula ukuhlinzekwa kwegesi ukusuka ku-750 million cubic feet kuya ku-1.12 billion cubic feet ngosuku ekupheleni kuka-2014, ukuze kukhuliswe ukuhlinzekwa kukagesi kusuka ku-2,600 MW wamanje kuya ku-5,000 MW.Phakathi naleso sikhathi, amabhizinisi nawo abhekene negesi enkulu futhi enkulu phakathi kokuhlinzekwa nokufunwa.
U-Oando, umthuthukisi nomkhiqizi wegesi waseNigeria uthi inani elikhulu lamabhizinisi linethemba lokuthola igesi kubo.Ngenkathi igesi edluliselwe eLagos yi-NGC ngepayipi le-Oando ingakhiqiza kuphela u-75 MW wamandla.
Ipayipi le-Escravos-Lagos (EL) linamandla okudlulisa indinganiso nsuku zonke 1.1 cubic feet of gas.Kodwa yonke igesi iphelile ngumkhiqizi eduze kwaseLagos nase-Ogun State.
I-NGC ihlela ukwakha ipayipi elisha elihambisana nepayipi le-EL ukuze likwazi ukuphakamisa umthamo wokudluliswa kwegesi.Ipayipi libizwa nge-EL-2 futhi u-75% wephrojekthi usuqediwe.Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ipayipi lingaqala ukusebenza, hhayi ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2015 okungenani.
