BUA Group, one of Africa’s largest foods, mining, manufacturing, and industrial conglomerates, has signed an agreement with CIMC ENRIC, a global leader in the energy equipment industry, in partnership with Axxela, to establish a 700-ton-per-day mini LNG project in Nigeria.
At a signing ceremony on Monday, the Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, said the Group remains dedicated to utilising cleaner, energy-efficient sources for its operations across Nigeria in line with its short to long-term ESG commitments and sustainability initiatives.

He added that whilst BUA already utilizes gas as a major energy source across its over 1,000MW captive power plants for its operations across Nigeria, the mini LNG project upon completion, will enhance all-year availability of cleaner energy and support BUA Group’s growing industrial power demands.
“We are excited about the prospects of this project and look forward to a fruitful collaboration with CIMC ENRIC and Axxela,” he added.
The agreement was signed by management representatives of BUA Group, CMIC ENRIC and Axxela Group, underscoring the project’s anticipated impact on the regional energy landscape in line with the Nigerian Government’s push to diversify its energy commitments.
BUA Group remains committed to investing in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure that benefits, not only its operations, but also the communities it serves.
