One of NNPC Limited Joint Venture partners and key supplier of gas into the NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC) pipeline network, Seplat Energy Plc, will commence a scheduled routine maintenance on its gas production facilities from 12 to 15 February 2026.
The maintenance forms part of standard industry safety and asset integrity protocols designed to ensure the continued reliability, efficiency, and safe operation of critical gas infrastructure.
The notice was contained in a statement Thursday by NNPC Limited, Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh.
The statement pointed out that maintenance of this nature is essential to sustain optimal system performance, strengthen operational resilience, and minimise the risk of unplanned outages.
Odeh said during the four-day maintenance period, there will be a temporary reduction in gas supply into the NGIC pipeline network.
He noted that as a result, some power generation companies reliant on this supply may experience reduced gas availability, which could modestly impact electricity generation levels within the timeframe.
The Chief Corporate Communications Officer explained that NNPC Ltd and Seplat Energy are working closely to ensure that the maintenance is executed safely and completed as scheduled.
He noted that in parallel, NNPC Gas Marketing Limited (NGML) is engaging alternative gas suppliers to mitigate anticipated supply gaps and maintain stability across the network.
Odeh said upon completion of the maintenance exercise, full gas supply into the NGIC system is expected to resume promptly, enabling affected power generation companies to return to normal operations.
