Port Harcourt — NNPC Gas Marketing Limited, NGML, has expanded its gas supply portfolio with the signing of a Natural Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement, GSPA, with CCETC Suk Power Limited.
The agreement enables the delivery of up to 44 million standard cubic feet per day, MMscf/d, of natural gas, further strengthening NGML’s role in Nigeria’s energy distribution chain.
The new deal, announced at the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano, AKK, Gas Pipeline Business Development Forum in Abuja, builds on the company’s existing agreement with GasHub Nigeria Limited and underscores its growing footprint in the midstream sector.
The gas supply is expected to significantly improve power generation capacity and support liquefied natural gas production, contributing to the nation’s industrial and energy security goals.
Industry stakeholders at the forum described the move as a major milestone in Nigeria’s ambition to become a gas-powered economy. By increasing access to gas, NGML is also helping industries reduce dependency on diesel and other carbon-heavy fuels.
The AKK Gas Pipeline, a key strategic project for NNPC Ltd., is designed to connect gas-rich southern regions to demand centers in the north. The pipeline has been tagged as a game-changer for industrial growth, power generation, and regional energy access.
The agreement comes at a time when the Federal Government is intensifying efforts to scale up gas utilization across the country in line with the Decade of Gas initiative.
With this expansion, NGML is positioning itself as a reliable gas off-taker for large-scale industrial and power projects, driving economic development and enabling job creation.
The gas supply is also expected to benefit emerging industrial clusters along the AKK corridor, improving competitiveness and attracting new investments.
