The acquisition, which will merge Powergas' infrastructure with Diadem Energy's virtual-pipeline transportation and Ardova's nationwide retail network, seeks to expand access to domestic natural gas across Nigeria. This strategic partnership will enable the coalition to deliver cleaner and more affordable energy to industries, power users, and motorists across the nation. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory and third-party approvals.",
