The NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, has successfully executed a Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE.

According to a press release on Wednesday, 12th November 2024, signed by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Ltd., Abuja, Olufemi O Soneye, the agreement, signed by the Managing Director, NGML, Barr.
