Dr. Olakunle Williams, president and chief executive officer of Tetracore Energy Group, has commissioned a new Auto Compressed Natural Gas station in Uwusan, Benin City, adding a key node to what the company is building as a corridor-based gas infrastructure network across Nigeria.
The station, located in Edo State, carries an installed capacity of 120,000 standard cubic meters per day and can fuel up to 200 vehicles daily. Commercial fleets, mass transit operators, logistics companies and industrial users in and around Benin City are the target customer base, and the company said the site was chosen to serve the city's growing industrial and logistics corridors.
Williams has framed the Benin axis as a critical growth corridor within Tetracore's national expansion. The Uwusan station is designed to operate initially as a daughter station within a larger integrated supply system. A dedicated CNG mother station for the region is currently in development and expected to come online in the coming months. When it does, Tetracore says it will boost compression capacity, improve supply reliability and connect Uwusan to a fully integrated gas supply ecosystem.
The company's strategy rests on what it calls repeatable deployment economics: high-demand urban and industrial clusters where volume visibility supports predictable revenue and strong asset utilization. Williams has built that model in Ogun State and is now extending it into southern Nigeria, with West Africa on the longer-term horizon. The integration of daughter stations with dedicated mother station capacity is central to the approach, designed to reduce supply risk while improving the economics of each asset.
Operators and fleet managers at the Uwusan station can expect lower and more stable fuel costs relative to conventional options, consistent gas availability and infrastructure aligned with Nigeria's regulatory direction on clean energy transition, according to the company.
Williams said Tetracore was "not simply deploying stations" but building "a resilient energy network that enables industries, transport operators and businesses to transition to cleaner, more efficient fuel at scale." He described the Uwusan commissioning as a deliberate step in a strategy to scale gas-powered mobility nationwide.
The commissioning follows Tetracore's track record of high-performing CNG assets elsewhere in Nigeria and signals the group's intent to attract structured capital and co-investment partners as it accelerates deployment across additional markets. The company said it remains committed to advancing Nigeria's gas commercialization agenda by connecting supply to demand, driving industrial productivity and supporting long-term energy sustainability.
