    Port Harcourt — Nigeria’s drive to expand natural gas access and reduce carbon emissions received a major boost as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Dr. Ekperikpe Ekpo, performed the groundbreaking of Guelph Gas Limited’s Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, mother station in Ibesikpo, Akwa Ibom State.

    The project, with a processing capacity of 3million standard cubic feet per day, is aimed at supplying CNG to commercial and industrial users in the South-South and South-East regions not currently connected to Nigeria’s gas pipeline network.

    Describing the project as a landmark development in Nigeria’s gas revolution, Dr. Ekpo said the initiative represents a strategic shift toward cleaner, more accessible energy sources for underserved regions.

    “This CNG project is a clear example of how our nation can leverage its vast natural gas resources to fuel a cleaner and more prosperous future. CNG is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly, offering a real solution to reducing carbon emissions, ”the minister said during the ceremony.

    Ekpo, who hails from Akwa Ibom, commended the state government’s proactive investment climate under Governor Umo Eno.

    “As an indigene of Akwa Ibom, I take pride in the commitment of the government and people of the state to fostering growth and innovation. Governor Umo Eno has created a supportive environment for investments that stimulate economic development and generate job opportunities for our citizens.”

    The CNG mother station, once completed, is expected to serve as a central hub for compressed gas delivery across the two geopolitical zones, supporting the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas initiative and contributing to Nigeria’s energy transition goals.

    The minister also praised Guelph Gas Limited for its commitment to the domestic gas market.

    “I applaud Guelph Gas Limited for their strong belief in our gas sector and for taking bold steps to invest in Nigeria’s energy future. The Federal Government remains committed to supporting projects like this and ensuring they succeed across all regions of the country.”

    With growing emphasis on cleaner energy and reduced reliance on diesel and petrol, the government says CNG infrastructure projects like the one in Ibesikpo are crucial for building a resilient and diversified energy economy.
