NNPC supports Portland gas mini-LNG project in Abuja
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has thrown its weight behind a Mini-LNG and LCNG project being developed by Portland Gas Limited in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
NNPCL said it plans to supply gas to the facility from the Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano Gas Pipeline once the project is completed and officially inaugurated in July.
The company explained that the gas supply will support the smooth take-off and operation of the Mini-LNG and LCNG plant, which is expected to boost gas availability in the area and support cleaner energy use.
The Executive Vice President, Gas, Power and New Energy, NNPCL, Mr. Olalekan Ogunleye, disclosed this at an investment workshop organised by Portland Gas in Abuja yesterday.
He said the compressed natural gas (CNG) sector has recorded rapid growth in recent years, attracting over $200 million in private investment commitments.
Represented by the Manager, Business Development, Suleiman Kachalla said, “The Mini-LNG/LCNG facility will fuel vehicles, power industries, reduce dependence on diesel, and strengthen energy resilience.
“Positioned at the AKK Abuja take-off node, the project aligns strongly with market demand and investor appetite.”
In his remarks, Managing Director/CEO of Portland Gas Limited, Mr. Folajimi Mohammed, said Nigeria’s energy future would be driven by gas.
He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting government efforts to expand access to gas resources.
“At Portland Gas, our commitment is clear. We are here to make clean, reliable and sustainable gas solutions a reality. With years of experience in gas infrastructure development, we have consistently delivered projects to the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and innovation.
“This track record gives us confidence that Nigeria’s gas sector is ripe for investment, and Portland Gas is ready to play a leading role,” he said.
