Energy Times is a renowned industry based newspaper with wide readership and huge subscriber base across the country.
The honour celebrates NIPCO Gas’s pioneering investments since 2009 as a first mover in marketing natural gas for automobiles and industrial machinery. The award specifically cited the company’s NMDPRA gas distribution licenses for key economic zones including Ibadan, Abeokuta, Lekki etc , which have unlocked gas access for homes and industries.
According to the citation read by Energy Times Editorial Board Chairman, Mallam Yakubu Lawal, NIPCO Gas’s leadership is evident in its vast network of operational CNG stations and twenty more under construction via its JV with NGML. The company’s pipeline network has become a critical enabler for businesses seeking to reduce energy costs and carbon footprints.
