Greenville LNG has ignited a transformative energy revolution in Nigeria with its bold $1 billion investment in domestic Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) infrastructure, powering the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) and bringing hope to the gas-scarce Northern region.

The official commissioning of the Northeast’s first Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG) Hub in Yola, Adamawa State, marks a historic milestone, showcasing Greenville LNG’s visionary leadership in driving sustainable energy solutions and economic empowerment across Nigeria.
The LCNG Hub, located at Lamido Aliyu Mustapha International Airport, was inaugurated in a landmark ceremony attended by Adamawa State Deputy Governor, Prof. Kaleptawa George Farauta, representing Governor Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum (Gas), Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo, PhD.
This facility in Yola is a beacon of hope and opportunity, not only for Adamawa but for the entire Northeast. It is a testament to Greenville LNG’s bold vision and the power of public-private collaboration in advancing our ‘From Gas to Prosperity’ mantra
A collaborative triumph between Greenville LNG and the Federal Government, this state-of-the-art facility leverages innovative virtual pipeline technology to deliver LNG and CNG to remote communities, overcoming the region’s lack of traditional gas pipelines. It also serves as a fueling station for natural gas-powered vehicles, slashing transportation costs and championing clean mobility.

Minister Ekpo lauded Greenville LNG’s unwavering commitment, declaring, “This facility in Yola is a beacon of hope and opportunity, not only for Adamawa but for the entire Northeast. It is a testament to Greenville LNG’s bold vision and the power of public-private collaboration in advancing our ‘From Gas to Prosperity’ mantra.”
He emphasized that the hub aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Decade of Gas agenda, harnessing Nigeria’s vast gas reserves to drive economic transformation, industrialization, and energy security.
The LCNG Hub is creating hundreds of direct and indirect jobs, from technical roles in gas distribution to opportunities in conversion centers, with the broader PCNGI attracting over $500 million in investments and generating 10,000 jobs nationwide in 2024
The Greenville LNG investment is delivering profound benefits to Adamawa and beyond. The LCNG Hub is creating hundreds of direct and indirect jobs, from technical roles in gas distribution to opportunities in conversion centers, with the broader PCNGI attracting over $500 million in investments and generating 10,000 jobs nationwide in 2024, according to Program Director Michael Oluwagbemi.
Affordable gas is fueling industrial growth, unlocking opportunities in solid minerals and agro-business processing, and positioning Adamawa as a regional energy leader. With CNG priced at least 60% lower than petrol or diesel, the hub is reducing transportation costs, optimizing investments like Adamawa’s Fresh Air buses and the new International Conference Centre.

The project is also driving technology transfer, equipping local workers with advanced LCNG expertise, while aligning with Nigeria’s climate goals by promoting cleaner fuels and reducing emissions.
Deputy Governor Farauta hailed Greenville LNG’s impact, stating, “This hub is a game-changer for industrialization and inclusive growth, empowering our communities and driving economic diversification.” Stakeholders echoed this sentiment, urging federal and state governments to bolster Greenville LNG’s efforts with policy incentives and infrastructure support to amplify industrialization nationwide.

The Yola hub is a cornerstone of the PCNGI’s nationwide expansion, which has rolled out 175 CNG stations, 255 conversion centers, and 53 daughter stations, refuting claims of an infrastructure gap. With partners like Greenville LNG and Famadec Energy, the PCNGI is set to activate 24 additional sites within the next six to nine months, including a recently launched station in Ilorin.
Minister Ekpo called on investors to follow Greenville LNG’s example of boldness and national duty. “This inauguration is a clarion call to the boundless potential of collaboration and innovation,” he said. “Greenville LNG is not just delivering energy—it is delivering hope, creating jobs, enabling businesses, and fostering peace through inclusive development.”
As Nigeria embraces a gas-powered future, Greenville LNG’s $1 billion investment stands as a shining example of innovation, determination, and partnership. The Yola LCNG Hub is not just powering the PCNGI—it is lighting the way for a prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive Nigeria, with Greenville LNG leading the charge.
