Adano Engineering Company Nigeria Limited, an indigenous tank construction company, has commissioned two multimillion dollars condensate buffer tanks at the Anoh Gas Processing Plant in Imo State.
The Managing Director of Adano Engineering Company Nigeria Limited, Engr. Benson Adano, who made the disclosure yesterday in a statement, expressed delight over the timely delivery of the project with over 242,000 man-hours completed without incident.
He said that the development underscores the growing competence of Nigerian engineers and contractors in executing complex EPC projects.
Adano has said that indigenous companies in the country are doing extremely well in handling complex Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract execution.
Speaking during the commissioning of the project, executed for Anoh Gas Processing Plant, Assa, Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, he said that Nigeria’s indigenous engineering firms are emerging as key players in driving the nation’s industrial progress, particularly within the oil and gas sector. He maintained that local companies are now demonstrating remarkable innovation and efficiency, rivaling international firms.
Adano described the project as a milestone that reflects the speed, excellence, innovation and strength of indigenous execution, adding that it particularly afforded the company the opportunity to prove its capability in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract execution.
“The project was executed to the highest standards of quality and safety. A total of 242,350 man hours with zero lost time to incidents was recorded in the course of project execution; a reflection of Adano Engineering’s professionalism and commitment to safety”, he noted.
Commending the host community for its cooperation and support, Adano assured that the company will never compromise on standard.
The Managing Director of Anoh Gas Processing Plant, Effiong Okon, in his remarks, commended Adano Engineering Company for delivering a top-notch job on agreed time.
Okon noted that some other companies who had been contracted in the past for a project in Anoh Gas Processing Plant did not live up to expectation, describing Adano as a proof of the capability of indigenous companies in oil and gas.
He highlighted that no casualty was recorded during the project, stressing that such a feat was a distinction for Adano.
Industry stakeholders at the event described the project as a testament to Nigeria’s potential to foster self-reliance, create employment, and boost economic resilience through local expertise.
The achievement, they added, also signals a shift towards leveraging indigenous capabilities to meet Nigeria’s energy demands, reduce dependency on foreign contractors, and promote sustainable national growth.
