This article draws critical attention to the emergence of Mozambique as a gas exporting powerhouse in Africa, with the potential to dominate the African LNG export scene and possibly eclipse Nigeria as the leading LNG exporting country in Africa in the next five to ten years. That is, if Nigeria maintains its current complacent posture as the leading African LNG exporter and its three-decades-long approach of glacial gradualism in the development of its huge proven gas reserves, the largest in Africa, oblivious of the dynamism and strategic competitive developments in the global LNG market; and increasingly so, in the sub-Saharan LNG scene. The article is also a follow-up to last week’s article titled, “Crafting a strategy for private sector initiatives in LNG development in Nigeria,” meant to promote a broad-based private-sector led strategy for the rapid development of the Nigerian LNG sector involving all stakeholders and investors from both the public sector (NNPC) and the private sector but with the private sector taking the lead in zest and speed, taking a cue from the United States, which only recently entered the market for LNG export ten years ago and is now the global leader in LNG export, accounting for nearly 30% of global LNG export capacity – an entirely private sector led development.
