The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF), has signed joint venture agreements with ten indigenous energy companies to enhance the nation’s gas supply infrastructure.
These agreements aim to bolster domestic energy security, reduce gas flaring, and support the government’s “Decade of Gas” initiative. The deals were officially signed on May 29, 2025.
The agreements encompass the construction of six gas processing plants, three compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling stations, and one bulk liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage facility. Notably, two of the gas processing plants will utilise flare gas as feedstock, contributing to environmental sustainability efforts.
