Greenville Gas Liquefaction Plant set up with a 100% Foreign Direct Investment of more than half a billion US Dollars is located in Rumuji, Rivers State.

Two additional trains have been ordered and upon installation, will increase total production capacity of the Liquefaction Plant to 5,250 metric tonnes of LNG per day.

The company has developed Nigeria’s pioneer virtual pipeline system for supply of gas across Nigeria. To that effect, Greenville LNG has introduced into Nigeria the first LNG-fuelled trucks to distribute gas all across the country even as it has embarked on the construction of gas refuelling and LCNG facilities across the country for easy access to affordable fuel for power, as well as for industrial and automotive uses across the country. With a proactive gas hubs expansion plan ongoing, Greenville LNG Gas Hubs are already operative in Kaduna, Koto-Karfe in Kogi State, Shagamu in Ogun State, Benin In Edo, and Rumuji in Rivers State.

  1. Reduction in the cost of transportation, industrial production and of commodities;
  2. Fuel and energy security through the utilisation of more affordable domestic gas;

iii. Increase in power generation by the supply of LNG fuel to self-generating factories and industries to replace the use of more expensive and non-environmentally friendly fuel options;

  1. Reduction in hazardous greenhouse emissions and the negative consequences on the environment and its living species; and
  2. Creation of a balance on energy price and availability between the Pipelines[1]connected areas and the unconnected parts of the country through the effectual use of Greenville LNG’s virtual pipeline system.

Greenville LNG operates a socially responsible and soundly ethical business process and proudly pays responsible attention to the health, safety and environment of its employees, contractors, stakeholders and the public.

Media practitioners across the spectrum in Nigeria widely acknowledge on the merit that, Prince Moses Duku goes to Greenville LNG Limited with a tremendously robust, well-earned and respectable goodwill with the Press across Nigeria, especially with his highly functional and developed annual media parley events in Lagos and Abuja over the years.

The Secretary of the Chapel of Correspondents, Abuja Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Mr. Olajide affirms that the Press wishes Prince Moses a successful stint in his new assignment at Greenville LNG
