NNPC Secures $20bn Gas Sales via Trans Niger Pipeline

The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) announced a profit after tax of N535 billion in June 2026 and secured over US$20 billion in gas sale and purchase agreements over the past year. This information was shared by Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) during the August 2026 Stakeholders Engagement Forum in Port Harcourt.

Operations along the Eastern corridor of the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP) have been largely uninterrupted, with the Emohua zone reporting no cases of vandalism. Dr. Akpos Mezeh, General Manager of Community and Stakeholder Relations at PINL, noted isolated incidents of sabotage and equipment failure but highlighted the effectiveness of rapid response teams.

Engr. Akponime Omojevwhe, Head of Field Operations at NNPC Limited, praised the Emohua zone and urged host communities to maintain their partnership. The forum followed the signing of the Intergovernmental Agreement for the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline by ECOWAS Heads of State.

PINL also announced an annual scholarship scheme for students from host communities and plans for youth and women empowerment programs.
