Nigeria’s pioneer and leading domestic liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) company, Greenville LNG, has taken another major investment step to expand its operational presence with a more affordable, cleaner and more reliable LNG/LCNG provision initiative to the Southeast of the country.
According to a press statement released by the company’s Head of Communications, Media, PR and Strategic Liaison, Prince Moses Duku, “Greenville LNG from its strategic and first-of-its-kind in West Africa Gas Liquefaction Plant at Rumuji in Rivers State, as well as the company’s investment in its actively operational virtual pipeline system run by its more than 500 LNG-powered specialised trucks, has boldly initiated a visionary and strong determination to meaningfully implement a positive interventionist partnership with the Nigerian government, business community and people to engender a more sustainable industrial development agenda and an empowering home-grown energy security pivoting on Nigeria’s abundant gas resource.
Greenville LNG is on an intentional technical and corporate mission not only to support, but also to proactively and sustainably spike up real time productive enterprise with a generative multiplier effect on GDP-enhancing commerce across the length and breadth of Nigeria.”
Speaking to the media in Enugu at the signing of an Agreement between the Enugu State Government and Greenville LNG for the establishment of an LNG/LCNG Mother Station at Ugwu Onyeama, Amuku Abor in Enugu south east Nigeria, Duku said, “through the production and distribution of cleaner, more affordable and more reliably available liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas to manufacturing industries, power plants to support the national grid, and the automotive sector, Greenville LNG has signaled its patriotic operational commitment to a progressive partnership with Nigeria for the country’s desirable and unstoppable march to a sustainably developed, successful and economically thriving Nigeria and its people.”
He added that, “with Greenville’s top quality and more affordable LNG and CNG production, reliable availability through the assured virtual pipeline gas delivery system of the company, Nigeria’s industrial developmental revolution and spinoff is right here in our country; Nigeria’s dependable energy future is practically here, and our country’s productive capacities are set to be unleashed like never before.
“That is Greenville LNG’s promise and that is Greenville LNG’s work and progressive commitment to the federal and state governments as well as to the nation’s productive industrial complex.
“It is in continuation of this corporate mission, that Greenville LNG has come to Enugu to birth its business operations with our Mother LNG/LCNG Station upon which many daughter stations will also anchor across the State to serve Ndi Enugu.”
On the critical issue of affordability by users, Moses Duku said that Greenville LNG‘s provision of LNG and CNG as alternative fuels in Enugu State through the Mother and ensuing daughter stations will substantially reduce the cost of transportation of goods and services as well as the cost of manufacturing immediately by about 30 to 40 per cent.
Executed at the Government House in Enugu, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Chidiebere Onyia, the Honourable Attorney General of Enugu State, Doctor Kingsley Udeh, and the Honourable Commissioner for Works, Doctor Obi Ozor, signed the Agreement on behalf of the Enugu State Government under the superintendence of the Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Mbah.
