Nigeria Is Building Africa's LARGEST Gas City

Inside Africa's Largest Gas City — Rising in the Niger Delta Nigeria holds Africa's largest natural gas reserves — and for decades, it sold that gas raw while importing the fertilizer, fuel, and plastics made from it. Then it decided to change the equation. On a stretch of coast in the Niger Delta sits Ogidigben: 2,700 hectares set aside for the Gas Revolution Industrial Park, designed to be the largest gas-based industrial city on the continent. Fertilizer plants. Petrochemicals. Methanol. Aluminium smelters. A deep-sea port. But this project has died before. After the 2015 groundbreaking, it sat for nearly a decade — stalled by community disputes, security crises, and investors who walked away. Some called it a fraud. This is the story of how Nigeria refused to bury it, rebuilt the politics from the ground up, and assembled a $20 billion construction deal that made it the single largest Belt and Road destination on Earth — bending the world's biggest infrastructure programme toward a goal Nigeria set for itself. #Nigeria #Infrastructure #NigerDelta New documentaries on Africa's biggest projects every week.
