“The emergence of many new estates across various states of the country is product of the work of the energetic and amiable Osita Izunaso.”

The AIHS CEO also noted that it was during as Senator Izunaso’s tenure as the Senate Committee Chairman on Gas that the issue of gas flaring in Nigeria got national and international attention and was addressed even as Nigerians were sensitized on the abundance of gas in Nigeria, and the need to draw up a comprehensive gas policy.
