DELTA TEAMS UP WITH XENERGI TO DEVELOP ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARK
In a strategic move to enhance industrial development and foster global investments, the Delta State Government has joined forces with Xenergi Limited to establish the Kwale Gas Gathering (KGG) Gas Eco-Industrial Park (KGIP). The partnership brings together the Xenergi consortium, the Delta State Special Economic Zone (DSEZ), and local government authorities to create a world-class industrial hub powered by sustainable gas resources.
Strategic Collaboration for Economic Growth
The KGIP is designed to attract global stakeholders by providing cutting-edge infrastructure and facilities essential for gas-based industries. Powered by clean and affordable gas from the Kwale Gas Gathering facilities, the park aims to catalyze industrial operations across the DSEZ. This initiative aligns with the federal government’s Decade of Gas agenda, which emphasizes economic development, energy transition, and environmental responsibility.
Dr. Kingsley Emu, Secretary to the Delta State Government, described the KGIP as pivotal to the state’s economic growth. “This collaboration aligns perfectly with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, emphasizing job creation, innovation, and development. The KGIP demonstrates Delta State’s readiness to lead Nigeria’s industrial revolution.”
National and Global Alignment
The Decade of Gas program aims to utilize Nigeria’s abundant gas resources to drive economic growth, fuel power generation, and expand energy diversification. The partnership between Delta State and Xenergi Limited builds on these priorities, offering robust commercial opportunities to private investors while supporting industrial efficiency and innovation.
Xenergi’s CEO, Mr. Emeka Ene, stressed the importance of collaboration with government agencies and private stakeholders to accelerate industrial capacity. “The KGIP provides a framework for sustainable growth while attracting top-tier investors and ensuring benefits for both local and international participants.”
Key Highlights of the KGIP Initiative
Job Creation: Hundreds of new opportunities for the local workforce.
Infrastructure Development: State-of-the-art facilities to support industrial growth.
Global Investment: Strategic location to attract multinational stakeholders.
Sustainable Energy: Clean gas supply powering eco-industrial operations.
Mr. Godwin Akpovie, Managing Director of the DSEZ, called the KGIP an emblem of opportunity. “Delta State’s economic zone is uniquely positioned for seamless investment and collaboration, delivering immense value for all stakeholders.”
Conclusion
As Delta State sets its sights on becoming a premier industrial hub, the KGIP represents a significant milestone in its developmental journey. Supported by the federal government’s policies and global partnerships, this initiative underscores the state’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and economic growth. The partnership between the Delta State Government, Xenergi Limited, and the DSEZ promises to drive industrial transformation, making Delta State a beacon of excellence for gas-based development.
