The Final Investment Decision for the Ima Gas Field suggests foreign investor confidence in Nigeria's energy sector reforms. The development is expected to increase gas supply, which could support operations at Nigeria LNG. Meanwhile, the Ebola alert introduces a public health risk that may impact regional trade and supply chains.
