FG Partners Foreign Firm On 250mw
The Federal
Government and a United States firm, General Electric (GE), have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding to inject 250 megawatts into the national grid.
The Minister of Power, Prof Chinedu Nebo, said the step would boost the capacity of the national grid and provide quicker energy that could boost socio-economic development of the country.
Nebo, who spoke at the MoU signing ceremony in Abuja Thursday0 noted that because of the fact that Nigerians are hungry for power supply, government was ready to swallow any amount of energy offered to them.
The Minister who also stated that siting of gas-fired plant in Rivers State which is a hub for gas would eliminate the threat of vandalism to its plants.
He called for investment in smaller quantum to enable the country realise its vision of access to power for all and advised the company to cash-in on the provisions of the Africa Power Initiative of President Barrack Obama as well as liaise with General Electric, GE, for the purpose of firming up a buy-in into its recently launched sponsorship programme for investors in the power sector.
Nebo reiterated his team’s dogged position in actualizing the power sector initiative for Nigerians in the shortest possible time.
He assured the company and other interested investors of necessary support needed in the realisation of their goals for the sector.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
