He explained that the United States has reversed its policy of serving as energy importer to become a major exporter to African countries like Nigeria.
A source in attendance who preferred not to be named quoted him as stating:
“We talked about a lot of opportunities – LNG, coal, but it all goes to

Perry stated further: “The United States wants to be partners with Nigeria, South Africa and throughout the continent.
“American LNG is going out to the world. Projects by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Exxon to convert gas discoveries in Mozambique to LNG are welcome even as the U.S. seeks to boost its own shipments, according to Perry.”
Investigations showed that Nigeria is the 60th largest goods trading partner with United States.
