From Adanna Nnamani, Abuja
The Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria (NOGASA) has called off its suspension of petrol supply to telecommunications operators, including IHS.
This follows a high-level intervention by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
NOGASA President, Bennett Okorie, made this known at a press briefing in Abuja over the weekend, saying members will resume deliveries from Monday, August 11, 2025.
The association had earlier ordered its members to stop supplies to IHS and others over debts running into billions of naira.
Okorie explained that the reversal followed assurances from ONSA and NCC that the outstanding payments would be settled promptly.

“The NEC of NOGASA has resolved at the meeting that started last night and ended this morning, 9th August, 2025, to suspend our withdrawal of services for seven days to IHS.
