Titled \"Enabling Access, Deepening Impact,\" the report emphasizes Axxela's strides in expanding its infrastructure, raising stakeholder engagement, and enhancing responsible business practices. Throughout the examined year, Axxela broadened its gas pipeline network by 39km, bolstering connectivity in Lagos, Ogun, and Rivers states. The firm reported zero fatalities and achieved 9.6 million Lost Time Injury (LTI) free man-hours during its operations.\n\nAdditionally, Axxela broadened its customer base by connecting new industrial and commercial clients to its network. Noteworthy accomplishments encompass obtaining Great Place to Work certification and attaining a Gold Medal rating in the EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment, positioning Axxela within the top 5% of companies globally evaluated. Moshood Olajide, Axxela's Group Chief Executive Officer, noted that the company's 2025 performance demonstrated its dedication to responsible growth and long-term value creation. \"Expanding domestic gas utilization remains at the core of our strategy,\" he stated. \"Each new customer connection contributes to cleaner, more efficient energy use, aiding industries in enhancing efficiency and reducing reliance on traditionally more polluting fuels. Our development trajectory is firmly grounded in responsible infrastructure construction and the pursuit of enduring value creation. We remain steadfast in our support for Nigeria's shift towards a more sustainable gas-driven economy.\"\n\nThe report further elucidates Axxela's stance on environmental stewardship, encompassing environmental surveillance, operational controls, and rehabilitation initiatives aimed at mitigating ecological disruption and safeguarding biodiversity. The entity upheld environmental compliance registers, conducted annual compliance audits and risk assessments, and conducted quarterly emerging risk scans across its operations and projects. Marking its ninth consecutive edition, Axxela's 2025 Sustainability Report, in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, builds upon the reporting discipline and frameworks laid down in prior reporting cycles.",
