NOGASA resumes supply of petrol products to telcos to halt network shutdown

The Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria has directed its members to resume business with IHS and other telecommunications operators to avert network shutdown.

NOGASA National President, Bennett Okorie, disclosed this in a media briefing on Saturday.

This comes after NOGASA, on Tuesday last, asked its members to halt supply to IHS and other companies over indebtedness amounting to billions of Naira.

In an update, Okorie said after the intervention of the country’s Office of the National Security Adviser and the Nigerian Communications Commission, members can resume gas supplies to telecoms operators from Monday, 11th August 2025.

He said the decision arose from its National Executive meeting following assurance of the debt clearance by ONSA and NCC.

He, however, stressed that if the indebtedness is not resolved within seven days, NOGASA members will resume service withdrawal without prior notice.

“Following the interventions of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the National Communications Commission (NCC) and their assurances that the matter that led to the withdrawal of our services will be resolved amicably with effect from Monday, the 11th of August, 2025, in the interest of energy security and Nigerians at large, we hereby resolve to resume our services immediately at the affected depots.

“The NEC of NOGASA has resolved at the meeting that started at 8:30 this morning, 9th August, 2025, to suspend our withdrawal of services for SEVEN days to IHS. However, if the matter is not resolved within the seven days, we will resume the withdrawal of our services effectively without further notice.

“All suppliers are hereby directed to resume their business with IHS immediately, if possible 24 hours round-the-clock services to make up for lost time,” he stated.
