Axxela Limited, in conjunction with Nigerian National Petroleum Company Gas Marketing Limited, has built a 5-kilometre natural gas pipeline network in Victoria Island, Lagos, connecting the Eko Atlantic City to piped natural gas.
In a statement, the energy company said the unveiling of the pipeline was a significant achievement in Axxela and NGML’s ongoing 72.5km pipeline infrastructure project, which will span from Victoria Island to the Lekki metropolis.
The 5km pipeline network traversing from outer Marina to Kuramo Beach is the first phase of the project and is expected to connect customers from Five Cowrie River by Army Officers’ Mess in Bonny Camp, to the proposed Lekki International Airport.
According to Axxela’s Chief Operating Officer, Kehinde Alabi, the first phase of the 72.5km pipeline network underscores the company’s commitment to expanding natural gas infrastructure within the Greater Lagos Area.
“By connecting Eko Atlantic City to first gas, as a pioneer customer on this axis, we are paving the way for more access to the natural gas advantage; providing reliable energy solutions that can aid economic development. For us at Axxela, we are not only fueling businesses, but we are enabling the development of self-sustaining clusters, whilst strengthening Nigeria’s socio-economic growth,” Alabi stated.
The Managing Director of NGML, Justin Ezeala, explained that over the past two decades, NGML and Axxela have been renowned for their pioneering efforts and immense contribution to natural gas advocacy.
