A Joint Venture (JV) comprising the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Shell, Total and ENI, has signed a multi-million dollars deal to supply 70 million standard cubic feet (scuf) of gas to Dangote Fertiliser Company.
President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote; Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari; Country Chair of Osagie Okunbor; and an ENI representative attended the event, which took place at the ongoing Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES).
The contract was perfected in a short period of time, according to Kyari, because of its importance to fertiliser production and agro-economic growth.
