Nepal has great potential for energy cooperation

Nigeria's proven natural gas reserves rank first in Africa and are a popular energy investment market in Africa. Currently, international capital continues to pay attention to the energy industry in Africa, and many countries are accelerating the development of natural gas resources, filling the gaps in electricity, and responding to the continuously growing demand for energy.
