Axxela Limited’s Central Horizon Gas Company Limited says it has recently inaugurated an additional 5.1 km natural gas pipeline infrastructure as part of its strategic expansion to better serve the growing energy demands of customers in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The company said this development underscored Axxela’s commitment to delivering cleaner, more reliable, and affordable energy solutions across the South-South.
“With the ongoing expansion running through Azikiwe to Reclamation Road in the Bundu-Ama community, CHGC has now increased its total pipeline network to 21 km and successfully connected several new customers, including leading industrial giants from a diverse range of sectors, with access to piped natural gas,” the company said in a statement.
Commenting, the Managing Director of Axxela Gas Distribution, Kehinde Alabi, said the expansion was not just about building gas infrastructure but about powering progress.
“For us at Axxela, every additional pipeline kilometre laid reinforces our commitment to fuelling the growth of industries, promoting economic advancement, and enabling a sustainable energy future. Accessible and cost-effective energy access is critical to industrialisation, and we are proud to be championing and contributing actively,” he said.
According to him, Axxela brought a “strong track record” of delivering critical gas infrastructure across Nigeria, often navigating complex terrains with innovation to deliver impact.
“This same depth of expertise is now shaping the energy landscape in the South-South, where access to sustainable energy is essential for driving the region’s next phase of industrial development, he added.
