NNPC Disputes Gas Network Role in Power Decline

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has denied that its gas transportation network is responsible for the recent drop in electricity generation, countering claims made by the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO).

In a statement by Andy Odeh, Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPCL, the company emphasized that its subsidiary, NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC), continues to operate without constraints, supporting power generation stations across the country.

NNPC highlighted that its efforts in gas development have led to a 10 per cent increase in gas production volumes in 2026, asserting that operational records do not show transportation-related issues affecting generation.
