Nigeria launched a $10 billion infrastructure programme in its restive Delta region as part of a plan to end an insurgency that has hampered oil production.

Bringing the insurgency to an end is first of the seven point plan for the petroleum industry. The strategy plan also envisages passing a long-delayed Petroleum Industry Bill by December.

To drum up financing and oil investments, Nigeria looks to hold a roadshow in the Gulf in January and in the United States by mid-2017.
