Nigeria’s national oil company, NNPC Ltd, says constraints in its gas transportation network are not responsible for a recent decline in electricity generation across the country. The company insists its network remains available to supply gas to power plants nationwide, citing operational records from its gas infrastructure subsidiary, NGIC, to support its position.
Multiple outlets report that electricity supply in major cities has dropped in recent weeks, heightening public concern about unreliable power. NNPC is responding to suggestions that gas delivery problems could be contributing to lower output at generation stations.
Vanguard, Premium Times, and The Punch all lead with NNPC’s rebuttal, describing the dispute in similar terms: whether gas transport issues or other factors explain the power decline. While the overall message is consistent across outlets, the focus on the broader impact on households and specific city references varies by publication.
