Dangote Refinery has taken a major strategic step by signing new natural gas supply agreements with subsidiaries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). These contracts are aimed at ensuring the gas needed for the group’s industrial operations, strengthening local production and Nigeria’s energy resilience.

Three Dangote entities Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Dangote Fertiliser Plant, and Dangote Cement Plc signed gas sales and purchase agreements (GSPA) with Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited and NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited. The agreements were formalized within the framework of the Nigeria Gas Master Plan 2026, recently presented in Abuja.

According to company officials, these contracts secure the volumes of gas necessary for expanding industrial facilities and increasing production capacities. Natural gas is a critical fuel not only for energy generation but also as a raw material in several industrial processes.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to develop Nigeria’s industrial and energy sectors. It reflects the government’s and private sector’s commitment to increasing domestic gas production, ensuring a reliable supply for strategic industries, and supporting the goals of the Nigeria Gas Master Plan, which aims to reach 10 billion cubic feet of gas production per day by 2027.

With these new agreements, Dangote Refinery consolidates its position as a leading industrial player in Africa while actively contributing to national energy security, industrial growth, and job creation.
