Three subsidiaries of Dangote Industries Limited, Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Dangote Fertiliser, and Dangote Cement, have signed enhanced Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements (GSPAs) with NNPC subsidiaries Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited and NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company.
The agreements, sealed at the unveiling of the NNPC Gas Master Plan 2026 in Abuja, aim to secure reliable, cleaner energy for the conglomerate’s ongoing and future expansion projects, supporting increased production output and adoption of cleaner fuels like Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
Key Points:
The pacts directly support Dangote’s Vision 2030, ensuring stable energy for refining, cement production, and fertiliser manufacturing, which are critical for Nigeria’s industrial and agricultural sectors.
They represent a significant step in operationalising the national Gas Master Plan, translating policy into tangible commercial deals that anchor gas as fuel for industrialization.
The agreements lock in a major domestic industrial offtaker for Nigeria’s gas, moving the country toward its goal of becoming a gas-based economy and reducing reliance on less clean fuels.
This collaboration between Africa’s largest conglomerate and the national oil company signals strong investor confidence and a model for public-private partnerships in the gas sector.
The timing accelerates progress toward national targets of increasing gas production to 10-12 billion cubic feet per day by 2030, with gas positioned as the backbone of energy security.
This strategic alignment between industrial demand and national gas supply planning marks a pivotal shift from policy to execution in Nigeria’s energy landscape.
