The Nasarawa state Governor, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, has commended Greenville LNG over its huge investment in gas in the state.
According to him “With the Greenville LNG Gas Hub Station now in Lafia, I would advise energy investors in Nasarawa State that instead of building a petrol station, they should now invest in LNG-CNG daughter Stations across the state”. .
Governor Abdullahi Sule gave the advice during the Energy Roundtable discussion at the recently held Nasarawa Investment Summit which was held at the Conference Hall of the Nasarawa State Government House in Lafia.
Also speaking at the Summit, the representative of the Chief Executive Officer of the NNPC Limited, the Executive Vice President (EVP), Gas, Power and New Energy, NNPC Limited, Mr Olalekan Ogunleye said that the Nasarawa State Government under Governor Sule’s administration embodies a productive and uncanny vision, effective leadership and a sustainability philosophy that is working actively to future-proof the State as an organically developed sub-national entity within the Nigerian nation.
Mr Olalekan Ogunleye further said that with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government’s very intentional policy and determined efforts to ramp up investments in the gas exploitation and utilisation sector based on a win-win idea for corporates and country, NNPCL is ready to partner the Nasarawa State Government and private sector investors for gas expansion projects.
Afrexim Bank’s Head of Client Relations (Anglophone West Africa) Mr Peter Adeshola Olowononi who represented the Afrexim Bank’s Head of the Country Office at the Summit, said that, due ostensibly to the feasibility of the company’s planned gas expansion projects, Afrexim is working with Greenville LNG.
Other Speakers at the Summit included the Managing Director of the GACN, Chijioke, Hajiya Fatima of the Dangote Group and Prince Moses G. Duku of Greenville LNG.
Moses Duku who represented the Chairman of Greenville LNG at the Summit, conveyed the gratitude of the Chairman and Board of the company to His Excellency Governor Sule on the gracious grant of land by the Nasarawa State Government for the construction of the Greenville LNG Gas Hub in Lafia the State Capital with a prospect for the further establishment of at least 30 daughter stations though Greenville’s franchising of local investors across the State. “Greenville is in Nasarawa State to stay”, Moses Duku said.
Speaking later to the press at the close of the Nasarawa Investment Summit, Moses Duku confidently urged other invested corporates and as well as intending investors to come to Greenville for their ever reliable, cost-cutting, and eco-friendly LNG-CNG as well as power generation needs to sustainably drive their businesses across Nasarawa State, and indeed across Nigeria.
Greenville LNG is Nigeria’s private sector’s leading producer and distributor of LNG and CNG for the domestic market.
The first Nasarawa Energy (Gas) Roundtable which held in 2021 heralded the State’s well-attended Investment Summits, and indeed the 2024 Summit.
