You are right I wasn't expecting gas flaring to cease overnight. No, I wasn't that naive, may be the government is. But one would expect they have experts examining these issues. Gas flaring is not going to stop until the government is ready to shut down all onshore facilities - and lose billion of dollars of revenues in the process. But do they have the guts? What Nigerian leaders need to understand is that the people come first before the petrol-$$$$$!!! This is so disappointing. You are right I wasn’t expecting gas flaring to cease overnight.
