“To win more projects in Africa, we will do our best to construct a high-quality plant while strictly monitoring air quality,” Hyundai Engineering said in a statement.
Nigeria has been recognized as a rising market in the power plant industry, as it has the most amount of natural gas deposits and the second-largest oil reserves in Africa.
It is also No. 1 in terms of population and gross domestic product among African countries.
Africa is widely expected to account for about 17 percent of power plant supplies worldwide next year, the company said.
