The NNPC Limited (NNPC Ltd) officially unveiled its Gas Master Plan (GMP) 2026, tagged NGMP 2026, in Abuja on January 30, 2026. This plan aims to reposition Nigeria's gas sector as a key driver of national industrialization, energy security, and sustainable economic growth.

Bashir Bayo Ojulari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC, highlighted Nigeria's vast gas reserves (210 Tcf proven, up to 600 Tcf potential) and stated that the plan is structured to exceed presidential mandates, targeting 10 billion cubic feet per day by 2027 and 12 billion cubic feet per day by 2030. It also aims to catalyze over $60 billion in new investments across the oil and gas value chain by 2030. The plan prioritizes cost optimization, operational excellence, and strengthening gas supply to various sectors including power generation, CNG, LPG, and industrial off-takers. Industry stakeholders like Aradel Holdings and TotalEnergies expressed support for the initiative, which aligns with the Federal Government's Decade of Gas Initiative and the Petroleum Industry Act.
