NNPC, Shell, TotalEnergies, Eni sign deal with Dangote Fertiliser to supply 70m scf of gas

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC Limited, Shell, TotalEnergies and ENI, have signed a multi-million dollars deal to supply 70 million standard cubic feet (scuf) of gas to Dangote Fertilizer Company.

The signing of the deal was done  at the on-going Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES) and attended by President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari, Country Chair of Osagie Okunbor, and ENI representatives.

The deals involving the Joint Venture consisting of NNPC, Shell, ENI, and TotalEnergies will deliver 70 million scuf of gas daily to Dangote Fertiliser.

While speaking at the event, Kyari said that the contract was perfected within a short period based on its importance to the production of fertiliser and agro-economic growth of Nigeria.

“As you are aware, Dangote Fertiliser is one of the biggest producers of fertiliser and this deal, which is to offer 70million scuf per day to Dangote Fertiliser by the JV, will contribute to the surge of Fertaliser production in Nigeria. Of course, it will tremendously be positive to our agro-economy,” Kyari said.

Responding, Alhaji Dangote stated that though the volume of gas for the deal may relatively be considered marginal, it will go a long way in promoting more access to fertilisers for the country.
