Nigeria’s energy sector is set for a major boost as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and BUA Group have announced plans to construct mini gas plants in Kogi State.
The development was disclosed through the official X handle of Nigerian Stories, signaling a strategic collaboration between the state-owned oil giant and the leading industrial conglomerate to expand Nigeria’s gas infrastructure.
While details of the project remain scarce, industry experts believe the initiative will enhance domestic gas availability, support industrialization, and provide cleaner energy alternatives for businesses and households in the region.
Kogi State, strategically located at the heart of Nigeria, has been identified as a crucial hub for energy distribution. The establishment of mini gas plants is expected to drive economic growth, attract investments, and create employment opportunities for residents.
This move aligns with the federal government’s agenda to deepen gas utilization in Nigeria, leveraging the country’s vast natural gas reserves to drive sustainable development. Stakeholders anticipate that the partnership between NNPC and BUA Group will set the stage for further investments in the energy sector, strengthening Nigeria’s position in the global gas market.
More details on the project’s scope, timeline, and impact are expected in the coming weeks as stakeholders await an official announcement from both companies.
