The MD expressed appreciation to Governor Godwin Obaseki-led state government for supporting the project and creating the right environment for businesses to thrive in the state, which informed the company’s decision to invest in the state.

He added that apart from gas and refining, the company generates power and can store and restore data.

He noted that the facility in Orhionmwon has access to multiple gas fields that can be linked with pipelines for backup and scalability.

The state Commissioner for Mining and Energy, Ethan Uzamere, said aside from gas and oil, the state is blessed with abundant mineral resources, adding that the development of the Benin River Port and the Edo Inland Dry Port would accelerate movement of minerals and other commodities from the state to other countries in Africa and beyond.
