“We’re seriously thinking of investing in oil blocks both for gas and for oil,” Edwin said. “We’ve started talking with some companies who are divesting from onshore,” Group Executive Director Devakumar Edwin (57) said in a Bloomberg report.
International oil and gas explorers including Royal Dutch Shell and San Ramon, California-based Chevron are selling onshore and shallow-water fields in Nigeria amid persistent violence and crude theft in the oil-rich Niger River Delta, with smaller Nigerian companies taking their place.
Dangote Group believes it can manage unrest and aggrieved communities in the region with corporate social initiatives, Edwin said.
“We know the terrain much better, we know the risks and we believe that the risks can be managed,” he said. “The primary risk is people blasting your pipelines. I wouldn’t like to go and invest in a block which is totally inland and then I have to start buying inland pipelines.”

Nigeria has recently passed legislation tightening restrictions on homosexual groups, while Uganda's president has blocked a similar bill.
Mr Wainaina has strongly criticised Nigeria's anti-gay law, saying it "shames us all".
His decision has drawn mixed reaction among Kenyans on social media.
Some people have praised him for being courageous while others have warned that he could face a backlash, says the BBC's Caroline Karobia in the capital, Nairobi.
