The Gas for Africa programme, in partnership with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, has unveiled the Nigeria Gas and Power Infrastructure Map 2026, the first comprehensive update of the country’s energy infrastructure in more than a decade.

The map was launched at the 25th edition of the Nigeria Oil and Gas (NOG) Energy Week held in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to the organisers, the map offers a single reference document covering Nigeria’s entire gas and power value chain, bringing together upstream, midstream, and downstream infrastructure to support investment decisions, policy formulation, and industry planning.

They said the update came after significant changes in Nigeria’s gas sector over the past decade, including the development of new pipelines, gas processing facilities, and power projects, as well as the rapid expansion of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure.

The organisers noted that, despite these developments, no updated national infrastructure map had been published to date.

They added that the release coincides with the implementation of the federal government’s Decade of Gas initiative, the establishment of the office of the minister of state for petroleum resources (gas), and programmes such as the Presidential CNG Initiative and the Gas Master Plan.

The map captures gas production assets and reserves in the upstream segment; pipelines, gas processing facilities, and transmission networks in the midstream sector; and power plants, CNG mother stations, LNG terminals, and gas-based industries in the downstream segment.

Speaking at the unveiling, Amel Grabsi, regional director of Gas for Africa, described the publication as a critical tool for attracting investment into Nigeria’s energy sector.

“This map gives Nigeria what every serious energy market needs: a single, credible picture of its infrastructure. It is a tool to turn investor interest into committed capital,” Mr Grabsi said.

Bayo Ojulari, group chief executive officer of NNPC Limited, said the map highlights investment opportunities across Nigeria’s gas value chain.

“This map lays bare the scale of what Nigeria has to offer. Behind every pipeline, every processing plant, and every power asset on it stands an opportunity; every capacity gap is an investment case, and every unconnected infrastructure is a project waiting for a sponsor,” Mr Ojulari said.

“NNPC Limited invites every partner to take this tool into their boardrooms, study it, and join us in building the gas economy Nigeria deserves.”

The map was developed with support from NNPC Limited and private sector partners, including Seplat Energy, ILF Engineers, Cakasa, Nipco, Powergas, Elektroon Energy, CAPSL, Morpol, and Genesis Energy Group.

Gas for Africa said the initiative aims to provide credible market intelligence to improve transparency in African gas markets and connect governments, national oil companies, and investors with opportunities across the continent.
