For years, Nigeria has been a major supplier of natural gas to global markets, but only until recently, the domestic supply of natural gas was limited with the energy sector being over-reliant on imported fuels like petrol and diesel. Today, natural gas is available in major markets within Nigeria offering the industrial sector a more reliable, cost-effective and cleaner energy alternative.
If you’re a manufacturer or business owner who would like to take advantage of the benefits of natural gas for your business, here are four of the best natural gas companies in Nigeria that you can trust with energy needs.
Best Natural Gas Companies in Nigeria Managed By Axxela
The recent advancement in the domestic natural gas sector in Nigeria could not have been possible without the efforts of private and public natural gas companies in Nigeria. Our company, Axxela is one of the few energy companies that has been focused on building the necessary infrastructure for gas distribution across the country. Today, we supply around 80 million cubic feet per day to over 200 industrial customers through four subsidiary companies:
Gaslink Nigeria Limited
