The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), through its subsidiary NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML), has finalized a historic Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals. Signed by NGML Managing Director Barr. Justin Ezeala and Dangote Group’s President and CEO Aliko Dangote, the deal commits NNPCL to supply 100 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMSCF/D) to the new Dangote Refinery for the next 10 years, with renewal options. This agreement will provide both firm and interruptible gas supply to power the refinery’s operations in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, marking a key development in President Bola Tinubu’s vision to leverage Nigeria’s vast gas resources for economic growth and industrial revitalization.
Under the terms of the agreement, NGML will deliver 50 MMSCF/D as a firm supply and another 50 MMSCF/D on an interruptible basis, positioning the refinery to meet energy demands efficiently. As noted by Olufemi Soneye, NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, this zero-CAPEX collaboration is unprecedented in scale and ambition, enhancing the Dangote Refinery’s operations and advancing Nigeria’s goal of achieving energy self-sufficiency.
“This 10-year agreement not only secures gas supply for Dangote Refinery’s operations but underscores our joint mission to support Nigeria’s industrial resurgence through strategic energy partnerships,” NNPCL stated.
This collaboration marks a milestone in Nigeria’s energy sector, reflecting both parties’ commitment to driving local production and ensuring energy security nationwide.
