  "summary": "Energy experts have called for the expansion and modernisation of Nigeria's pipeline network to unlock the country's vast gas resources and support growing domestic and industrial demand. According to Dr Eloho Amagada, CEO of Amelin Projects Ltd and board member of the Pipeline Professionals Association of Nigeria, Nigeria has substantial gas reserves, but the existing pipeline network of over 2,500 kilometres is insufficient to connect production with demand. The experts emphasised that investing $22 billion in expanding the pipeline infrastructure could help support power generation, manufacturing, fertiliser production, petrochemicals, and other gas-based industries. They also highlighted the importance of moving away from reactive maintenance towards risk-based systems, leveraging digital monitoring, leak detection, and artificial intelligence in pipeline surveillance to address integrity risks posed by ageing pipelines.",
