Electricity is the lifeblood of any modern economy, powering industries, enabling commerce, and driving innovation. In Nigeria, this vital resource remains one of the country’s most persistent challenges. Despite decades of investment and an installed generation capacity that looks impressive on paper, the national grid consistently underdelivers — unable to meet the demands of a rapidly growing population and an ambitious industrial base.

The consequences are felt across every sector. Manufacturing plants run below capacity or halt production entirely when power cuts strike. Hospitals switch to costly diesel generators to keep critical equipment running. Data centres, banks, and telecoms companies must build redundant systems just to guarantee uptime. For many operators, the rising cost of self-generated power , both financially and environmentally, is becoming unsustainable.

Amid this reality, forward-thinking companies are searching for practical, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that bypass the uncertainty of the grid. They need partners who understand not only the technical demands of industrial-scale power, but also the unique complexities of Nigeria’s operating environment.

Eunisell Interlinked Plc has emerged as one of those partners. By combining engineering expertise with a deep understanding of local conditions, the company delivers tailored solutions that keep businesses running, whether the grid is stable or not. From system design and installation to maintenance and optimisation, Eunisell Interlinked Plc is helping industries bridge Nigeria’s power gap with solutions built for resilience, efficiency, and long-term value.

The Power Paradox

Nigeria is a nation of potential, abundant natural resources, a young workforce, and a strategic position in Africa’s economic landscape. Yet, for decades, the country’s promise has been undermined by a persistent challenge: unreliable power. In practice, the national grid rarely delivers its maximum capacity to homes, offices, and factories.

The reasons are layered and complex. Ageing transmission lines snake across the country, many of them unable to handle today’s loads. Distribution infrastructure creaks under the weight of demand it was never designed for. Acts of vandalism, energy theft, and a market plagued by liquidity shortfalls add further strain. For many Nigerians, power interruptions have become so routine they are simply factored into daily life.

In the industrial sector, however, this “new normal” has a very different cost. Production lines halt mid-shift, data centres race to switch to diesel generators, and manufacturing schedules are dictated not by market demand but by the erratic pulse of the grid. Surveys and market analyses routinely place unreliable electricity among the top barriers to doing business in Nigeria.

Where Challenge Meets Opportunity

For most large-scale industrial and energy-sector operators, downtime is more than an inconvenience, it is a direct assault on profitability. In a climate where every hour of production matters, waiting for systemic reform is not an option. The gap between potential and reality needs to be bridged, not with promises of future stability, but with tangible, engineered solutions available today.

This is where Eunisell Interlinked Plc stands apart. The company has built a reputation for delivering power engineering solutions that are grounded in practicality and tailored to Nigeria’s unique operating conditions. Its service portfolio, spanning design, installation, maintenance, and optimisation, is designed not for ideal scenarios but for the realities industries face on the ground.

Designing for Reality, Not Just Theory

In the world of power systems, the best designs are those that anticipate both the ideal and the inevitable. Many interventions falter because they are conceived in isolation, with limited understanding of the environment they must operate in. Eunisell Interlinked Plc takes a different path, beginning every engagement with a meticulous, multidisciplinary assessment of the client’s needs and the constraints of their site.

From load profiling to contingency modelling, every variable is considered. Power-quality analyses are carried out to guard sensitive industrial equipment against damaging fluctuations. The integration points with the national grid are studied in detail, ensuring systems can operate seamlessly whether connected to utility supply or functioning in isolation. The outcome is not just a drawing on paper, but a plan for a resilient, future-ready system.

Building with Precision and Accountability

A sound design is only as good as its execution. Across Nigeria, too many well-intentioned projects fail because of poor workmanship or substandard materials. Eunisell Interlinked Plc has addressed this problem head-on by building a supply chain that ensures only accredited, high-quality components make their way to site. From cables and terminations to switchgear and protective systems, every part is vetted for durability and performance.

Installation is handled by trained technicians who work to international safety and performance standards. Rigorous commissioning protocols ensure that every system is tested under real-world conditions before handover. In a sector where the gap between “installed” and “operational” can be wide, this commitment to precision is a quiet but powerful differentiator.

Preventing Failures Before They Happen

For many operators, maintenance has traditionally meant reacting to problems once they appear — a costly, disruptive cycle that often shortens asset lifespan. Eunisell Interlinked Plcflips that model by making predictive and condition-based maintenance the norm rather than the exception.

Using tools like infrared thermography, transformer oil analysis, and vibration monitoring, potential failures are detected long before they can trigger an outage. These proactive measures don’t just prevent downtime; they extend the life of expensive assets, reduce safety risks, and cut overall maintenance costs.

Optimising for Efficiency and Resilience

Reliability is the first priority, but efficiency runs a close second. Many industrial sites operate with power factors well below optimal, or with generation and consumption that are poorly matched. The result is wasted energy, inflated fuel bills, and higher emissions.

Eunisell Interlinked Plc addresses this through comprehensive energy audits and tailored optimization strategies. These range from power-factor correction and fuel management systems to advanced microgrid controls that manage multiple power sources. In a hybrid power setup, where grid, generator, and renewable sources coexist, these controls ensure smooth transitions, minimal losses, and a stable supply to critical processes.

Embracing the Hybrid Future

In the face of an unstable grid, the future of industrial power in Nigeria lies in hybrid systems. These blend grid power with on-site generation, often diesel or gas, and, increasingly, renewable sources like solar, backed by battery storage. The flexibility of such systems allows businesses to operate efficiently even when grid supply is unreliable.

Eunisell Interlinked Plc breadth of expertise, from electrical product supply to systems integration and field service, makes it a natural partner for these complex projects. The company’s hybrid systems are built with scalability in mind, allowing clients to add new energy sources or storage capacity as needs evolve.

Delivering Tangible Results

For clients, the benefits of working with Eunisell Interlinked Plc are measurable and immediate. They report fewer unplanned outages, shorter recovery times, lower generator fuel consumption, and significantly improved power quality. Over time, these gains translate into longer equipment lifespans, lower operational costs, and a stronger competitive position.

Just as importantly, Eunisell structures its engagements around clear performance metrics from the outset. Availability targets, power-quality thresholds, and response times are defined and tracked, creating accountability and transparency throughout the project lifecycle.

From Outages to Outcomes

Nigeria’s power challenges are deep-rooted, but they are not insurmountable. For industries that must deliver on time, every time, the difference between vulnerability and resilience often comes down to the right engineering partner. Eunisell Interlinked Plc has made it its mission to be that partner, turning instability into manageable risk and delivering the power reliability that keeps the wheels of industry turning.

As the nation works toward systemic reform, companies like Eunisell Interlinked Plc will continue to provide the bridge between today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. In an economy where uninterrupted power is both a necessity and a competitive advantage, that bridge is not just useful — it is essential.

Dangote Reveals Plans to More Than Double 650,000 bpd Oil Refinery to 1.4 Million bpd

•Set to list 10% of company’s shares by next year

•S&P reports oil firm secured $4bn critical financing agreement in August

•Says company pursuing Middle Eastern partners

•40,000 bpd upstream assets to begin production by end of October

Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja

The 650,000 barrels per day Dangote Refinery is set to more than double its current refining capacity to about 1.4 million bpd, becoming the world’s largest refining facility and surpassing the 1.36 million bpd refinery in Jamnagar, India.

President and Founder of the Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), Aliko Dangote, told S&P Global Commodity Insights, in an interview, that the management of the $20 billion refining and petrochemicals complex, is also thinking of altering its current business model and is set to list up to 10 per cent of its shares by next year.

According to the 68-year-old founder, although the ambition to develop African energy independence is a “herculean task”, it remains a ‘labour of love’ since no government in Africa is willing to put its money into such humongous projects.

“We have to build the refinery again, either here or somewhere else. But really, somewhere else is not possible because we’d have to go and spend so much building infrastructure, and we have the infrastructure already here,” Dangote said.

In Nigeria alone, S&P Global Commodity Insights projects that net petrol imports could more than double from 2026-27 to hit almost 200,000 bpd by 2030, underpinned by economic development and rapid population growth.

In July, Dangote unveiled plans to expand the refinery from its current 650,000 bpd to 700,000 bpd by the end of the year. Now, the target is to reach 1.4 million bd, with no specified date, it added.

Engineers working at the Lekki complex say it was designed with room for growth, pointing out empty concrete plots capable of holding a second refining system. Now Nigeria’s largest power producer, the Dangote Group already generates twice the electricity it consumes, insuring its operations against chronic shortages that plague the rest of the country.

Expanding could involve building a second refinery with the same configuration, one engineer said, potentially with the addition of a vacuum distillation unit to boost light ends yields, the S&P report said.

The company is also working on potential linear alkylbenzene and base oils projects, and aims to grow its annual polypropylene capacity from 1 million mt to 1.5 million mt in the next few years, Dangote said.

However, Dangote rejected a model that leaves Africa dependent on imported fuel, and said he remains determined to disrupt a market shaped by economies of scale. He is not optimistic for state-backed African projects, and warns that the continent will “really be in trouble” without huge private investment.

“Most African governments will not have the capacity to build a refinery,” Dangote said, calling smaller projects like Angola’s new Cabinda facility “a drop in the ocean.”

“In places where interest rates are 30 per cent, some countries 20 per cent, the cost of funding is high. And the infrastructure is zero,” he said.

According to the report, the Nigerian company’s own maturing debt was recently seen as a key funding hurdle, before it secured a critical $4 billion financing agreement in August.

To expand the refinery and develop a new petrochemicals project in China, Dangote is actively considering a strategic partnership with Middle Eastern companies, the group president remarked. “Our business concept is going to change. Now instead of being 100 per cent Dangote-owned, we’ll have other partners,” he said.

Within the next year, Dangote disclosed that the refining business will list 5 per cent to 10 per cent of its shares on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, mirroring a playbook established by the group’s cement and sugar businesses.

“We don’t want to keep more than 65 per cent to 70 per cent,” Dangote told S&P, explaining that shares will be offered incrementally subject to investor appetite and market depth.

According to him, the door remains open for the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) to boost its stake after the state oil company trimmed its interest to 7.2 per cent, but not before its next phase of growth is well underway.

“I want to demonstrate what this refinery can do, then we can sit down and talk,” Dangote said. A close aide, who was not authorised to speak publicly, told S&P that the company would exert caution before inviting additional participation from NNPC.

While there are bold expansion plans amid ongoing efforts to stabilise the refinery, it stated that the plant’s main petrol engine, the Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracker (RFCC), recently went offline in September shortly after a three-week turnaround in August, fueling rampant speculation over future downtime.

A Vice President at Dangote responsible for overseeing refinery operations, Devakumar Edwin, said the RFCC restarted around October 7 and should soon be back at full capacity.

“We have resolved most, not all, but most of the problems. And I think we’re looking for a window when we shut down for another month,” Dangote said, in a rare comment on maintenance plans.

The month-long turnaround will involve shutting down the RFCC, but not the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) and other secondary units. The entire refinery only requires a full turnaround every five years, Edwin said. Dangote said that the RFCC turnaround will be planned to avoid clashing with a seasonal demand peak towards the year-end, without providing dates.

The company recently highlighted employee sabotage as a potential business risk, before its decision to fire 800 staff members sparked an acrimonious labor strike in September. After government-brokered remediation talks, the conglomerate has committed to find new employment for all dismissed workers, mostly outside the refining business.

“We don’t have any worries with the unions,” Dangote said, sharing that the reorganisation was almost complete and deemed sufficient to abate recent tensions.

As the refinery grows, the report said that early challenges sourcing crude oil only risk becoming more acute. However, Dangote welcomed a breakthrough deal with NNPC to alleviate supply concerns.

Under a current “crude for naira” swap agreement, NNPC supplies Dangote with 14 crude oil cargoes, or sources the equivalent value of US dollars, in exchange for the same volume of petrol and gasoil to be supplied in the domestic currency.

Besides, Dangote’s upstream assets in the Niger Delta, Oil Mining Lease 71 and 72, could soon provide another supply injection, with production expected to start this month and reach up to 40,000 bpd.

Dangote remains interested in new upstream opportunities, which could add to an expanding asset base for the wider conglomerate. Recent investments include a major Namibian storage terminal, an Ethiopian fertilizer plant and a fleet of 4,000 CNG trucks, as well as a potential energy project in Senegal.

Yusuf Tuggar: Tinubu Pursuing Nigeria’s Strategic Autonomy Amid Trump’s Tariffs, China Ties

•Says world must show respect in trade with Nigeria, other African nations

•Denies Christian persecution claims

•Reiterates Nigeria will not accept deportees from US

•Says tariffs imposed by US do not markedly harm the country

Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja

Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, yesterday maintained that President Bola Tinubu is pursuing Nigeria’s strategic autonomy amid tariffs imposed by the United States as well as the country’s relationship with China.

Besides, the minister noted that rich countries must show respect to Africa in their dealings with the continent, insisting that they should not approach trade with Africa as a game of ‘Minecraft’.

Speaking at the Reuters NEXT Gulf summit in Abu Dhabi, Tuggar stated that the relationship should be based on mutual respect and the need for Africa to develop, stressing that the recent tariff increase by the US did not markedly impact the country.

“Sometimes it’s like the game Minecraft: There’s oil, there’s gas, there’s critical minerals, rare earths. We put a bit of this, we invest in this. No, that’s not the way it goes. The engagement should be based on mutual respect, based on shared interests and based on the fact that Africa needs to develop. If it doesn’t develop, we continue to deal with irregular migration, with all these other challenges,” he argued.

The minister stated that Nigeria remains a major power in Africa, highlighting the country’s huge internal market with a population of 230 million, expected to grow to 400 million by 2050, and its relationships with other major trading partners such as China, India and Brazil.

Besides, he dismissed claims that President Donald Trump does not care about Africa, but stressed that the country continues to absorb the effect of the recent tariffs by the Trump administration as it extends trade with other countries.

“ We have the right and the basis to engage with as many countries as possible to trade and our relationships are not based on ideological considerations, they’re based on interests, beginning with our national interests.

“So we trade with the U.S., we trade with China, we trade with Brazil, we trade with India and our focus is not necessarily on one axis or the other, especially in a multipolar world,” he argued.

Tuggar also referred to a recent surge in claims of a “Christian genocide” circulating online and amplified by some U.S. media figures, dismissing them as false.

“One of our major challenges at the moment is the false narratives that are being created about Nigeria, this issue of religious persecution, Christians are being persecuted, which couldn’t be further from the truth, and it’s something that I think the investors need to come and see for themselves,” he said.

The engagement with the West, he said, should be based on mutual respect, shared interests and based on the fact that Africa needs to develop. The foreign minister also said there were no plans to accept deportees from the US, noting that Nigeria has gone beyond the stage.

“ I think that ship has sailed. We made our point and I believe it’s no longer on the discussion table. We continue to enjoy a good relationship with the United States. We do not see the need to take in other nationals under duress from any country because we already have a population, like I said, of 230 million people.

“So we’re not short of people and we, our focus is, as we move closer to becoming 400 million population, which we will be in the next 25 years, to train our workforce to tackle the issue of poverty, of unemployment, so that we have the right dependency ratio that would be able to sustain us as we move into the future.

“So there are lots of opportunities. We can partner with all comers to tackle our challenges as well as to provide the opportunities for those that are working with us. It’s a really striking figure and as one gets older, you realise 25 years is a much shorter time than you originally might imagine”, he stated.

On job creation, the minister explained that the first thing is for Nigeria to be able to feed itself, and will be creating lots of jobs as it works towards expanding agriculture and manufacturing and import substitution.

Tuggar said that there has to be a mindset change by the world on how they interact with Africa, stressing that the continent has come of age.

“As I said earlier there’s a tendency to take a Minecraft approach to Africa. It’s not a game and we are not infants. We know what is good for us, what’s in our interest so we don’t need to be protected.

“We can protect ourselves when we’re dealing with China. China’s initiative is good for Africa. It is something that is already benefiting countries like Nigeria, the linkages, and we are looking towards achieving similar results with Europe, with the global gateway initiative, and of course other partners like the US, India, Brazil,” he stressed.
