The NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, has executed a Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE, marking a substantial step towards bolstering Nigeria’s industrial capabilities.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC, Olufemi Soneye, the deal was agreed upon at Dangote Group’s corporate headquarters in Falomo, Lagos.
Signed by the Managing Director, NGML, Justin Ezeala and the President/CEO of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, it outlines the supply of natural gas for power generation and feedstock at the Dangote Refinery, in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.
The statement said the agreement outlines the supply of 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCF/D) of natural gas to support power generation and serve as feedstock for the refinery located in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.
Under the terms of the agreement, NGML will provide a firm daily supply of 50MMSCF/D, with an additional 50MMSCF/D as interruptible gas, over an initial 10-year period, with options for renewal.
This deal underscores a commitment to enhancing Nigeria’s domestic gas utilisation, aligning with the policies set forth by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to leverage the nation’s extensive gas reserves to fuel industrial growth and economic development.
“This major milestone is in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policy of utilizing Nigeria’s abundant gas resources towards revamping the nation’s industrial growth and kickstarting its economic prosperity.
