Written By Chinedu NsoforAcross Africa, one of the most practical shifts happening in the energy sector today is the steady expansion of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a cleaner, more affordable alternative for transport, industries, and commercial operations. At the center of this transition is Tetracore Energy Group (TEG), led by Africas Energy Tycoon and Energy Expert, President and CEO Dr. Olakunle Williams.Rather than treating gas as just another commodity, Tetracore is building a full distribution system designed to make energy access easier, more reliable, and economically meaningful for businesses and communities across Nigeria and beyond.A major step in that journey is the commissioning of a newly completed 60,000 Standard Cubic Metres per Day (SCMD) Auto CNG facility in Ogere, Ogun State, delivered through its subsidiary Tetracore CNG Solutions Limited.Expanding Nigerias Auto CNG NetworkThe Ogere facility represents more than a single fueling station. It is part of a growing national effort to develop CNG infrastructure that supports mass transportation, logistics fleets, manufacturers, and industrial clusters.Strategically positioned along the busy LagosIbadan industrial corridor, the station is designed to serve one of Nigerias most active commercial routes, providing access to cleaner fuel for trucks, buses, transit operators, and businesses operating across Ogun State and neighboring regions.With an installed capacity of 60,000 SCMD, the facility can fuel over 100 vehicles daily, improving availability and convenience for the expanding number of CNG-powered commercial vehicles on Nigerian roads.This is especially important at a time when transport operators and industries are seeking alternatives that reduce costs while supporting Nigerias broader clean energy and emissions reduction goals.Understanding the CNG System and Why It MattersCompressed natural gas systems work by taking natural gas, compressing it into high-pressure storage, and distributing it efficiently for vehicle refueling and industrial use.What makes this model increasingly important is its ability to deliver three key advantages:Lower fuel costs for transport and logistics operatorsCleaner emissions compared to conventional fuelsStronger domestic energy utilization using Nigerias own gas reservesThe Ogere plant reflects this approach, aligning directly with the Federal Government of Nigerias gas adoption agenda and supporting the national drive to reduce dependence on imported or high-cost conventional fuels.Speaking during the commissioning, Tetracore described the facility as a catalyst for economic growth, noting that it is designed to strengthen mobility, productivity, and long-term energy security.Community Impact and Local OpportunityThe commissioning ceremony brought together traditional rulers, community stakeholders, industry partners, and invited guests, highlighting the importance of local participation in energy development.The Ologere of Ogere, Oba James Obafemi Saliu, welcomed the investment, describing it as a meaningful step for the towns future.Community leaders also emphasized that beyond energy access, the facility will generate employment and stimulate local business activity.The project is expected to create:Dozens of direct operational and technical jobsOver 100 indirect roles across logistics, maintenance, supply chains, and servicesFor Ogere, the facility represents both infrastructure and opportunity.Built for Safety, Reliability, and Long-Term ServiceTetracores Auto CNG facilities are designed with safety and operational excellence as core priorities.The Ogere station incorporates:Advanced gas detection and monitoring systemsAutomated emergency shutdown mechanismsFire suppression infrastructureHigh-pressure protection systemsOperations are handled by trained personnel in compliance with national and international safety standards, ensuring secure and reliable service for customers and staff.Part of a Bigger CNG Vision Across AfricaThe Ogere commissioning is one piece of a much broader expansion strategy.Tetracore is scaling its midstream and downstream gas distribution network across:Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)Piped Natural Gas (PNG)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)Gas-based industrial solutionsThis national growth is also connected to Tetracores increasing regional footprint.In January, the Group achieved another milestone with the commissioning of Ghanas first industrial-scale CNG facility in Tema, delivered through Tetracore Gas Ghana Limited.That project introduced Ghanas first virtual gas pipeline network, featuring:A 5.1 million scf/day CNG mother stationA 10 million scf/day pressure regulation and metering stationModern compression and distribution systemsTogether, these developments show a deliberate effort to build cross-border gas infrastructure that strengthens cleaner energy access throughout West Africa.Beyond Distribution: Industrial Transformation UnderwayWhile CNG expansion remains central, Tetracore is also moving further into industrial manufacturing and gas conversion.The company is developing:A 5,000 barrels-per-day Gas-to-Liquids facility in Koko, Delta StateA 1,200 tonnes-per-day ammonia-urea fertilizer complex in Ogun StateThese projects reflect a shift from gas supply into value-added industrial production, supporting agriculture, reducing imports, and creating export opportunities.Dr. Olakunle Williams: Driving the MomentumBehind this growing platform is Dr. Olakunle Williams, widely recognized as Africas Energy Tycoon and Energy Expert, and President/CEO of Tetracore Energy Group.With over sixteen years of experience across the energy value chain, Dr. Williams has guided Tetracore into becoming one of Nigerias leading gas traders, supporting over 90 million standard cubic feet per day for industrial clusters.His leadership has also enabled the companys expansion beyond Nigeria into Ghana and Central Africa, positioning Tetracore as a continental player in clean gas infrastructure development.Conclusion: CNG as a Foundation for ProsperityThe commissioning of the Ogere Auto CNG facility is not an isolated achievement. It is part of a growing network that reflects Tetracores long-term mission: expanding cleaner fuel access, strengthening industrial growth, and supporting economic development across Africa.From Ogere to Tema, and from transport systems to industrial manufacturing, Tetracore Energy Group is proving that Africas energy future can be built through practical infrastructure, regional collaboration, and strong local execution.At the center of this progress stands Dr. Olakunle Williams, Africas Energy Tycoon and Expert, leading a company that is not only expanding CNG systems but redefining energy accessibility and prosperity across the continent.The post Tetracore Energy Group Commissions Ogere Auto CNG Facility As Dr. Olakunle Williams Drives Africas Clean Energy Expansion appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
