Abstract
This paper examined third party access rights for gas and petroleum liquids. The paper noted that sections 179 and 180 of the PIA, 2021 are vital to achieving the Act’s broader policy goals of liberalization, competitiveness, and efficiency in Nigeria’s petroleum sector. Therefore, by institutionalizing third-party access, the Act enhances transparency and market fairness, promotes infrastructure optimization, and encourages private sector participation. These provisions are particularly crucial in ensuring that the nation’s energy resources are developed and utilized in a manner that maximizes national benefit while fostering a level playing field for all stakeholders.
