The Dangote Group has expanded its gas supply agreements with Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC), units to support ongoing expansion programs in line with Nigeria’s drive for cleaner energy and industrial growth.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Dangote Fertiliser Plant, and Dangote Cement Plc announced on Monday that they had signed gas supply contracts with Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited and NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company during the Nigeria Gas Master Plan 2026 event in Abuja. The companies, however, did not disclose the volumes involved.
Launched last Friday, the Master Plan seeks to transform Nigeria’s gas sector by expanding infrastructure, improving supply, attracting investment and positioning gas as a key driver of economic growth.
The initiative targets increasing national output to 10 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) by 2027 up from the current 8 bcf/d and 12 bcf/d by 2030, while attracting more than $60 billion in investment across the gas value chain.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, explained that the plan marks a shift from policy drafting to implementation, emphasizing the importance of converting Nigeria’s reserves into tangible economic value.
In his remarks, NNPC Ltd Group CEO, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, highlighted that the initiative aims to increase production, optimize costs, attract investment and strengthen gas supply for consumers.
