The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited says its subsidiary, the Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited, on Tuesday, inaugurated a 150 million standard cubic feet per day (mmsccfd) natural gas city gate facility in Ogun state.

The inauguration was in partnership with Transit Gas Nigeria Limited (TGNL), a subsidiary of Axxela.

In a tweet on Wednesday, the national oil company said Dapo Abiodun, the state governor, inaugurated the facility, which is located in Ibefun community.

NNPC said the infrastructure is expected to supply natural gas to industrial and commercial clusters in Ogun and other surrounding neighborhoods in the south-west region.
