The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Mr. Ekperikpe Ekpo, praised Tetracore Energy Group during the commissioning of their 6.1 MMscfd Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) facility and the groundbreaking ceremony for the 10 MMscfd LNG plant at Atakobo, Ogun State.

Ekpo emphasized that these facilities were crucial for promoting cleaner energy and enhancing the country’s energy security.

Mr. Ekpo highlighted the pivotal role of natural gas in the global energy transition, noting its cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels and its support for integrating renewable energy sources.

The LNG facility, in particular, is expected to expand in-country processing capabilities and provide feedstock to gas-based industries nationwide.

“These developments are critical components of our strategy to diversify energy sources, promote cleaner energy, and ensure energy security for our people,” said Ekpo.

Representatives from various levels of government also expressed gratitude and support for Tetracore Energy Group’s initiatives.
