KEY POINTS

• Dr. Olakunle Williams commissioned Tetracore Energy Group’s new CNG station in Uwusan, Benin City, targeting commercial fleets, mass transit operators and logistics companies in Edo State’s growing industrial corridors
• The site has 120,000 standard cubic meters per day installed capacity and can fuel 200 vehicles daily; it currently operates as a daughter station pending a dedicated mother station already in development
• The Benin commissioning extends Tetracore’s proven corridor-based deployment model from Ogun State into southern Nigeria, with West Africa on the longer-term horizon

Dr. Olakunle Williams, president and chief executive officer of Tetracore Energy Group, commissioned a new Auto Compressed Natural Gas station in Uwusan, Benin City on Monday, adding a key node to the company’s corridor-based gas infrastructure network across Nigeria.

The Tetracore CNG station carries an installed capacity of 120,000 standard cubic meters per day and can fuel up to 200 vehicles daily. It targets commercial fleets, mass transit operators, logistics companies and industrial users in and around Benin City, where the company identified growing industrial and logistics corridors as a strategic fit.

Daughter station connects to a larger gas ecosystem

Williams has further framed the Benin axis as a critical growth corridor within Tetracore’s national expansion. Currently, the Uwusan site operates as a daughter station within a larger integrated supply system.

Tetracore is also developing a dedicated mother station for the region, expected to come online within months to boost compression capacity and connect Uwusan to a fully integrated gas supply ecosystem.

The Tetracore CNG station strategy rests on what the company calls repeatable deployment economics: targeting high-demand urban and industrial clusters where volume visibility supports predictable revenue and asset utilization.

Williams frames Benin commissioning as national scaling move

Additionally, Williams built that model in Ogun State and is now extending it into southern Nigeria, with West Africa on the longer-term horizon.

“We are not simply deploying stations,” Williams also said. “We are building a resilient energy network that enables industries, transport operators and businesses to transition to cleaner, more efficient fuel at scale.”

Moreover, operators and fleet managers at the Uwusan site can expect lower and more stable fuel costs relative to conventional options, consistent gas availability and infrastructure aligned with Nigeria’s clean energy transition agenda. According to Billionaires Africa, the commissioning signals Tetracore’s intent to attract structured capital and co-investment partners as it accelerates deployment across additional markets.
