Three Dangote Industries Limited subsidiaries – Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Dangote Fertiliser FZE, and Dangote Cement Plc – have scaled up their Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements with Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited and NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited.
The move is aimed at meeting the energy needs of their ongoing expansion projects and supporting Dangote Group’s Vision 2030. The agreements were signed during the unveiling of the NNPC Gas Master Plan 2026 at the NNPC Towers in Abuja.
Speaking at the ceremony, Dangote Petroleum Refinery CEO, David Bird, described the agreements as a bold step to expand production capacity and secure energy requirements. Dangote Cement Group MD, Arvid Pathak, said the deals will enable the company’s strategic goals, including promoting Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) adoption as Autogas. For Dangote Fertiliser, the agreements will support fertiliser capacity expansion, given the product’s dependence on natural gas.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo, called the Gas Master Plan a shift from policy to disciplined execution, aimed at translating Nigeria’s vast gas resources into reliable supply and industrial value.
NNPC Ltd GCEO, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, described the Gas Master Plan 2026 as an execution-driven roadmap to unlock Nigeria’s gas potential, targeting 12 billion cubic feet per day by 2030 and attracting over 60 billion dollars in investment across the oil and gas sector.
The agreements are expected to boost cleaner fuel adoption, support industrial growth, and strengthen Nigeria’s energy security.
