On Wednesday 8 October 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to commission the $400m Otakikpo Onshore Crude Oil Export Terminal in Rivers State.

This is the first new crude export facility to be built in Nigeria in more than 5 decades.

The facility was developed by Green Energy International Limited who are the operators of the Otakikpo field in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 11 at Ikuru town of Rivers State.

It is also the first wholly indigenous onshore terminal ever built in Nigeria. The last such facility, the Forcados Terminal, was commissioned by Shell in September 1971.

Industry operators have frequently emphasized that evacuation bottlenecks are a major hurdle in achieving the Federal Government’s crude oil production target of 3 million barrels per day (bpd).

With initial storage capacity of 750,000 barrels expandable to 3 million barrels, and a loading capacity of 360,000 bpd, the terminal is forecast to vastly reduce production costs for indigenous producers.

The Otakikpo terminal will serve as a succour to more than 40 stranded oil fields by providing a reliable evacuation outlet and conceivably unlocking millions of barrels of crude previously trapped underground.

Chairman and Chief Executive of GEIL, Professor Anthony Adegbulugbe, described the terminal as a “game-changing national infrastructure.”

I am happy to hear this good news after so much bad news

This is good, these are the news we love to see. We've had so much bad news recently.

This is a welcome development for the country. The Nation should try and develop other non oil sector because in the coming years, the world is developing into non oil development.

They should avoid PENGASSAN if they want the facility to be a successful business.

Nuff said

PBAT is Working no doubt, even though I have never benefited anything From his government . But that tax of a thing if it work ehh then everybody Go put eye in whatever government is doing and those that like helping rig elections because they are given some cups of rice Will stop doing that.

Treasure base of the nation for a reason
This is a big shot
Having said this what about the solid minerals we have in this country? Who mines them and if what benefits is solid 🪨 minerals to Nigeria when the government focuses more on crude oil. What do I even know. Abi nah retired army they mine those once God safe this country

Good.

But does crude oil give green energy ?

Let the company change its name🤷🏾‍♂️

it gladdens my heart to see indigenous players achieving great feat in the oil and gas industry which before now was saturated with ioc's who exploited the country.
kudos to those who still believe in Nigeria!

Congratulations to Green Energy..


Congratulations to the Chairman and Chief Executive of GEIL, Professor Anthony Adegbulugbe


God bless Nigeria

Great, after 50 years, it is now ready for commissioning

Na only crude and anything to surplus/widen their thieving net dem dey quickly tidy.
Ordinary electricity the thieves nor fit provide 😡
All of una go end up in jail las las

This is good news for the exchange rate and govt revenue.

Nice one

Peags have started grunting already

Nawa o

Very welcome development. Congrats to the indigenous company

Very true. More of this indigenous investment needed.

Nice development
Very happy to hear this as I am part of its success stories

I remember the days of well 2 and well 3 as soon as Late PMB took over, then CACASA was doing the structural work, WellSmart former NRG was the drilling contractor, Lekoil the technical partner with I think Brown being the technical team lead from Lekoil and Prince Africanus from the green energy side.
Emeka was the HSE officer with one other delta guy, who i think is still there.

Ikuru people persevered, they did not use cultism to chase investors away, despite there being home to Greenlanders, ofcourse there was a time the whole technical team was kidnapped and later released, once upon a time the road divided into two and the only way to camp was via the seashore, yet they forged ahead.

This is testament to, if Rurals embrace peace and dialogue, Development will come.

I hope Ohaji people of imo state are observing this.

If tinubu never start to spoonfeed some people the way trump is feeding Americans,he has not done anything.they will tell us how everything is free in America and Europe,you their sisters will travel there and be doing prostitution.

Whois:
They should avoid PENGASSAN if they want the facility to be a successful business.

Ignoram*s. Facility wey dem don commission months ago and export has been going on there and GEIL workers are fully in pengassan.

Dey there dey follow Dangote propaganda.

Wrong.

The facility, developed by Green Energy International Limited, operators of the Otakikpo field in OML 11, Ikuru town, Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, is the first wholly indigenous onshore terminal built in Nigeria. The last such facility, the Forcados Terminal, was commissioned in 1971.

what’s the proof that he is working?

Add my remaining character and give me a better explanation.

Thanks to the late fPMB and the Jagaban for the PIB. Things are looking up in O and G.

The heading is wrong. It is not correct. How do Chevron, Shell, Mobil, Total, etc export their oil?

FG not Dike Si mba should license more indigenous private sector to build more of such facilities so as to have more jobs and revenues.
This is a big news

So other companies have not been exporting before Tinubu took over. Na Tinubu do the PIB? Na him and Buhari initiate am? A private company built its terminal and you are praising Tinubu?

PIB is not the reason why the company built the terminal bros.

Even other Tinubu supporters dey shame for you.

Tax that's going into the hands of criminal governors and sinators

The propagandists and pathological liars are at it again.

Another audio just like they claimed that our refineries were working optimally then.

Let's see how it goes. The truth is Nigeria is gonee

Is the storage underground.
From that picture, I can't see how this cost $400m.

Am I missing something.
