By Aduragbemi Omiyale

The 2025 Sustainability Report of Axxela Limited has shown that the company recorded strong performance across key indicators, with the gas pipeline network expanded by 39 km to enhance connectivity across Lagos, Ogun and Rivers States.

Also, the leading gas and power portfolio company in sub-Saharan Africa recorded zero fatalities and achieved 9.6 million Lost Time Injury (LTI) free man-hours across its operations.

In addition, Axxela strengthened its customer portfolio by connecting new industrial and commercial customers to its network.

Other significant milestones include achieving Great Place to Work certification and receiving a Gold Medal rating in the EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment, placing Axxela among the top 5% of companies assessed globally.

According to the report titled Enabling Access, Deepening Impact, the firm maintained environmental compliance registers, conducted annual compliance audits and risk assessments, and carried out quarterly emerging risk scans across its operations and projects.

The chief executive of Axxela, Mr Moshood Olajide, emphasised that the organisation’s 2025 performance reflected its commitment to responsible growth and long-term value creation.

“Expanding domestic gas utilisation remains central to our strategy. Each new customer connection supports cleaner and more efficient energy use, helping industries improve efficiency and reduce reliance on traditionally dirtier fuels.

“Our growth remains anchored in responsible infrastructure development and long-term value creation. We will continue to support Nigeria’s transition towards a more sustainable gas-powered economy,” he said.

Axxela’s 2025 Sustainability Report, its ninth consecutive edition, was prepared in line with the core requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and builds on the reporting discipline and frameworks established over previous reporting years.

The report highlights the company’s steadfast commitment to transparent disclosure, responsible business practices and long-term value creation, while detailing the progress, priorities and actions shaping its approach to sustainable and responsible growth.

It outlined Axxela’s approach to environmental management, including environmental monitoring, operational controls and rehabilitation programmes designed to minimise environmental disturbance and protect biodiversity.
