The minister of state, petroleum resources , Heineken Lokpobiri has vowed to raise crude oil production output to meet Nigeria’s quota. The minister, who described himself as a creek boy, stressed that he would not spend much time sitting in the office. Ekpoh said that it is certain that using the gas reserves can stimulate the domestic economy. He added that patronising the domestic utilisation of gas will support hundreds of thousands of jobs for the growth of the economy.
To achieve the feat, Adelabu said the ministry will leverage the Nigerian Electricity Act of 2023 to boost the power supply in the country. According to him, the focus of his administration includes: setting a roadmap for the development of the steel sector, aggressively pursuing Ajaokuta steel, and enacting required bills to regulate the steel sector, among others.

And this sector has caused so much international trade warfare.”On his part, the minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, has vowed to ensure the responsible management and utilisation of the country’s marine resources to boost the economy.
He said: “The global level Blue Economy is estimated at more than 1.5 trillion dollars annually, and I urge stakeholders to seize the opportunity and become a significant player in the industry.The collaborative effort of a group to achieve a common goal can only be efficient and effective through teamwork.”
