The Lagos state governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has inaugurated Nigeria’s first integrated energy hub in Oshodi, describing the facility as a major milestone in the country’s transition to cleaner, affordable and sustainable energy solutions.

The facility, developed by Ibile Oil and Gas Corporation (IOGC), a Lagos state government-owned company, combines Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and a CNG vehicle conversion centre within a single location.

Speaking at the inauguration weekend, Governor Sanwo-Olu said the project goes beyond the opening of a conventional filling station but represents a practical demonstration of Nigeria’s energy transition agenda.

“Some might think that today is just a simple gas station opening ceremony, but this is much more than that. Today, we are inaugurating the first integrated energy hub in our country. It is a repository of our targeted interventions in energy transition and a clear demonstration of what the future of mobility and energy infrastructure should look like,” he said.

The governor noted that the facility aligns with the Federal Government’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas (Pi-CNG) initiative and reflects Lagos State’s commitment to supporting policies that promote cleaner and more affordable transportation.

He commended President Bola Tinubu for providing the leadership and policy direction that encouraged investments in alternative energy infrastructure.

“President Tinubu has created the enabling environment for affordable, cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions. It is now the responsibility of government agencies and stakeholders to translate that vision into reality,” Sanwo-Olu said.
