Dangote Group and NNPC have entered into new strategic gas agreements aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s industrial and energy landscape. The deals, signed in Abuja, are designed to guarantee long-term and reliable gas supply to key Dangote operations, including the refinery, fertiliser plant and cement factories.
The agreements, which involve Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited and NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company, are expected to support expanded production capacity, improve energy efficiency and drive cleaner fuel usage across Dangote’s facilities. Gas remains a critical input for refining, fertiliser production and cement manufacturing, making the partnership central to sustaining large-scale industrial growth.
Officials at the signing described the collaboration as a major step toward unlocking Nigeria’s vast gas potential and boosting domestic utilisation. The deal also aligns with the Federal Government’s broader gas expansion agenda, which seeks to attract investment, create jobs and position gas as a bridge fuel in Nigeria’s energy transition.
Industry analysts say the Dangote–NNPC partnership could stimulate further investment in gas infrastructure, enhance energy security and reduce dependence on imported fuels. With rising demand from industries and power producers, the agreements are seen as a practical move to turn Nigeria’s gas resources into tangible economic gains.
