Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG) has announced plans to set up a gas supply and distribution infrastructure in Nigeria. The firm sealed the development deal with Oyo State Government where the project will be constructed.
By establishing a robust gas supply and distribution network, the project aims to meet the energy needs of industrial and commercial consumers, thereby boosting economic productivity and creating job opportunities.
The project involves construction of a 15km of pipelines route with a substantial capacity to deliver up to 60 million standard cubic feet of gas per day across the state. The initiative aligns with the broader goal of driving development and fostering investment in the region.

SNG will construct and manage the gas distribution network, which is set to cater to customers throughout Oyo State for a period of 20 years. The first gas expected by Q4, 2025.

“Building on our presence in the country since the 1960s, we are excited about developing gas distribution solutions and delivering competitive and reliable energy for Nigeria. This gas distribution project will be a game-changer in the industrialization drive of the Oyo State Government and help boost internally generated revenue and result in more job opportunities,” said SNG Managing Director Ralph Gbobo.
