Gas
Gas in Nigeria is supplied to a variety of industrial users in and around Lagos. The gas originates in the Niger Delta area. It passes to Lagos via the Escravos pipeline. A number of major industrial users utilise this gas in captive power plants such as Guinness's Ogba and Benin breweries.
In January 2010, two workers at Chevron’s gas plant, Escravos, in Delta state, were shot dead.

Famous quotes containing the word gas:
“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.
Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”

slipping blue as an undressed minnow,
gulping in the shower to wash the Jew off him.”
