Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) and GCL Group have established a $4.2 billion, 25-year natural gas supply agreement to support a 3-million-tonne-per-year urea fertilizer production complex in Ethiopia. The facility, valued at $2.5 billion, will operate under a 60:40 equity structure between Dangote Group and Ethiopian Investment Holdings and is scheduled for operation in 2029.

GCL will supply natural gas sourced from the Calub Gas Field through a 108-kilometre pipeline to the site in Gode, Somali Region. This project aims to enhance Ethiopia's agricultural self-sufficiency and reduce import reliance while creating employment opportunities and contributing to regional infrastructure development.
