Image
Power & Energy: A Big Push to Fix the Lightsaber  It’s no secret that Nigeria has long struggled with unreliable electricity. For decades, many homes and businesses have had to rely on generators , in part because debt cascades in the power and gas sector made sustained generation difficult. That may finally be shifting: the federal government has approved a payment of ₦185 billion to settle long-standing debts owed to gas producers — a move aimed at reviving gas supply and, by extension, stabilising electricity generation nationwide.  This payment will be implemented via a “royalty-offset arrangement,” as endorsed by the National Economic Council (NEC).  It’s part of a broader government strategy to overhaul the entire gas-to-power chain: the goal is to nearly double Nigeria’s gas output to 12 billion cubic feet per day by 2030.  Why does it matter? Because past delays in paying gas suppliers created cash-flow problems, discouraged investment, and limited gas ...

NNPCL Reduces Fuel Price After Dangote Refinery and Depot Owners Slash Rates In a significant move that has stirred nationwide reactions, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced a reduction in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). This development comes shortly after Dangote Refinery and several major depot owners slashed their ex-depot prices, creating downward pressure across the country’s fuel market. For millions of Nigerians battling rising living costs, this adjustment signals a much-needed breath of relief — and perhaps the beginning of a competitive era in the downstream petroleum sector. The Price Drop: What NNPCL Announced NNPCL lowered its pump price from ₦945 per litre to ₦930 per litre at its retail outlets, starting from Abuja and gradually reflecting across other states. Although a ₦15 drop may appear small at first glance, it marks the beginning of what analysts describe as a “fuel market realignment” driven by competition rather...
