Greenville LNG Limited has deepened its footprint in Nigeria’s gas sector with a $2 million investment in Yola, Adamawa State, as part of efforts to widen access to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) across the country.
The energy firm, a pioneer in LNG distribution through its innovative “virtual pipeline” system, said the new investment would enhance infrastructure and strengthen public awareness about the benefits of cleaner, gas-based fuels.
Greenville, which transports LNG by road tankers to areas not connected to the national gas grid, has continued to drive Nigeria’s transition towards sustainable energy sources.
The company recently expanded into the CNG and liquefied-compressed natural gas (L-CNG) segments, targeting the industrial and transportation sectors.
The firm has also rolled out refuelling stations in several states to ensure easier access to gas-based products.
In August 2024, it commissioned a major gas hub in Lafia, Nasarawa State, with the capacity to dispense 32 tonnes of CNG and 220 tonnes of LNG daily.
The Lafia facility adds to a growing network of stations in Rumuji (Rivers), Koton Karfe (Kogi), Benin (Edo), Sagamu (Ogun), and Kakau (Kaduna).
Greenville’s Director, Christopher Nathaniel, said the latest $2 million investment in Yola reflects the company’s confidence in the North-East’s economic potential and its commitment to expanding Nigeria’s domestic gas infrastructure.
He said the investment aims to encourage industrial and transportation sectors to adopt gas as a cheaper and more sustainable fuel alternative.
“To reduce your cost of transportation, LNG gas is of great benefit to everyone, including industries. It will help ease the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidy,” Nathaniel said.
According to him, Greenville’s LNG and CNG offerings are already powering major industries nationwide — from food manufacturing giants like Indomie to cement producers such as BUA — enabling them to cut operational costs and carbon emissions.
Nathaniel said a “mega rally” was recently held in Yola to sensitise residents on gas usage and safety.
The awareness drive, which began at the Yola Toll Gate and passed through Jimeta Modern Market to the Air Force Base School, was tagged a “safety movement” to educate the public on the benefits of cleaner energy.
He noted that Greenville’s continued expansion aligns with the Federal Government’s gas policy objectives and supports Nigeria’s energy transition plan aimed at harnessing the country’s abundant gas reserves for domestic and industrial development.
