Visit by Hon. Engr. Etido Inyang Underscores Shared Commitment to Governor UmoEno’s Energy Development Agenda and the Strategic Growth of Ibom Power Limited
ABUJA, NIGERIA — Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited received Hon. Engr. EtidoInyang, Chairman of Ibom Power Limited, at the firm’s Abuja office on Thursday, 3 July 2025. The courtesy visit marked a significant moment of institutional solidarity, bringing together two organisations aligned in their commitment to accelerating power sector development in Akwa Ibom State and strengthening Nigeria’s broader energy infrastructure.
The visit was occasioned by a shared recognition of the transformative work being driven by His Excellency Governor Umo Eno in Akwa Ibom State, and a desire to express direct support for the mandate of Ibom Power Limited as a critical vehicle for delivering reliable, sustainable electricity to the people of the state. Africenergy — as a pan-African energy investment and advisory firm with roots in the Niger Delta and active interests in Nigeria’s power and hydrocarbons sectors — regards Ibom Power’s trajectory as emblematic of the kind of state-anchored energy infrastructure development the continent needs.
Ibom Power Limited is the Akwa Ibom State Government’s flagship power generation company, operating the Ibom Power Plant — one of Nigeria’s most strategically located gas-to-power facilities. Under the leadership of Governor Umo Eno, the Akwa Ibom State Government has placed energy infrastructure at the centre of its development agenda, with a clear emphasis on maximising the state’s gas endowment for domestic electricity generation, industrial growth, and economic diversification.
Hon. Engr. Etido Inyang’s chairmanship of Ibom Power Limited brings engineering expertise and institutional credibility to an organisation charged with delivering on this mandate. His visit to Africenergy’s Abuja office reflects the kind of cross-institutional engagement that accelerates Nigeria’s energy transition — connecting state-owned energy assets with private sector advisory capacity, investment facilitation, and strategic partnership networks.
Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited’s engagement with Ibom Power Limited is consistent with the firm’s broader mandate in Nigeria’s power sector. The firm is active as an Independent Power Producer, with solar hybrid and mini-grid projects under development, and maintains institutional relationships with key regulatory and financing bodies across the Nigerian electricity market. Africenergy brings to its partnerships a combination of technical insight, regulatory familiarity, and a long-term investment orientation.
The firm’s Abuja office serves as a hub for strategic engagement with federal institutions, state governments, and international partners, making it a natural venue for the kind of dialogue that the visit by Chairman Inyang represents. Africenergy views its relationships with state-level energy entities as foundational to its investment thesis: that the most durable energy infrastructure in Nigeria will be built from a combination of state commitment, private capital, and institutional advisory expertise.
“Ibom Power is not just a state asset. It is a national proof of concept — that when government sets clear energy priorities and backs them with the right institutions, the private sector will align. Africenergy is aligned.”
— Engr. Bassey Rex, Chief Executive Officer, Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited
