Tiget Business International Limited, one of Nigeria’s top footwear producers, has praised the enhanced natural gas supply to producers, emphasising how it has increased operational effectiveness and reduced costs.
The company switched from diesel to a 6.6-megawatt Jenbacher gas power plant, which was created in collaboration with Clarke Energy, according to Managing Director Zheng Wei.
Significant operational savings and cleaner electricity production are the outcomes of this change. Wei stated that the gas plant has resolved efficiency concerns, resulting in more sustainable operations.
Yiannis Tsantilas, Managing Director for sub-Saharan Africa at Clarke Energy, emphasised the significance of robust, economical, and environmentally friendly energy solutions for manufacturers.
He commended Tiget’s leadership for their dedication to boosting Nigeria’s economy by increasing access to high-quality footwear, generating employment, and sustaining investment.
This accomplishment is consistent with Nigeria’s overarching plan to use its vast natural gas reserves—more than 200 trillion cubic feet—to promote energy security and industrial growth.
The federal government has promoted natural gas as a more effective and clean energy source for the manufacturing industry.
The increased gas supply is anticipated to boost Nigeria’s manufacturing sector’s sustainability and productivity, advancing the country’s economic growth.
