Who we are

A rural-first
clean energy company.

Fahman exists because the cleanest, safest cooking fuel in Nigeria — LPG — stops being available the moment you leave the cities. We're closing that gap, one solar-powered plant at a time, and we're laying the foundation to bring solar electricity to those same rural homes.

A note on our name

Fahman Oil & Gas Ltd. is our registered company name. Fahman (and increasingly, FahmanEnergy) is our trading name — used everywhere we go to market, because our future stretches well beyond LPG.

FAHMAN 12.5kg Rural Nigeria. CLEAN COOKING ENERGY
Our story

From one community
to a continent.

Fahman started in Ilesha Baruba, Kwara State, with a simple observation: rural Nigerian households spend more time, money and health on cooking fuel than urban families pay for clean gas — and nobody is fixing it.

We set out to build the rural energy supply chain that the national grid forgot. Solar-powered. Locally staffed. Compliance-first. And — over the next seven years — that same model rolls out across Kwara, into nearby states, and onward to other African countries.

Our roadmap

From a depot in Lagos, to a stove in Baruba.
Then, to every state in Nigeria.

First — how a single cylinder reaches a rural kitchen today. Then — how that same model spreads, year by year, across Nigeria and beyond.

Stage 1 · Today · Ilesha Baruba
A solar-powered Fahman station, in the heart of a rural community.
01 · Sun Free, on-site, every day Nigerian sun pours onto the panels mounted on the Fahman station roof — no diesel, no grid pull.
02 · Solar Powers tank + dispenser Panels run the dispenser pump and the on-site systems. The 10MT tank sits where the people are.
03 · Tanker LPG from the depot A Fahman tanker arrives from the Lagos depot — the rural last mile most distributors skip.
04 · Buyer Refilled · clean cooking A neighbour walks up with a cylinder, refills, and walks home — no firewood, no smoke, no kerosene.
Stage 2 · Where we're going
Plant by plant, state by state, across Nigeria — and beyond.

The problem

Rural Nigeria pays the highest price for the dirtiest fuel — and lives without electricity.

The supply chain for clean cooking gas in Nigeria stops at the city limits. Beyond them, families fall back on firewood and charcoal — burning their health, their time, and the forests around them. And after sunset, most have no electricity at all.

Our solution

Solar-powered LPG plants today.
Solar electricity tomorrow.

We design compact refill plants that run entirely on on-site solar. They sit inside the communities they serve — no diesel, no grid dependency, no waiting for distant supply. The same plants, the same communities, become the launch pads for our solar-electricity rollout.

Green energy → clean energy

Solar panels power the plant. The plant produces LPG. The full chain is decarbonised.

Replicable, modular units

Each plant is a self-contained operating unit — easy to clone into the next community.

Compliance, end to end

NMDPRA licensed. SON approved. Standards as a baseline, not an aspiration.

10MT FAHMAN 12.5kg 5kg 3kg Solar in. Clean energy out.
What we stand for

Four principles that drive every decision.

Rural-first

We build where the supply chain ends. The hardest-to-reach communities are our starting line, not our last stop.

Safety, no compromise

Every cylinder, regulator and fitting is SON-approved. Every operation licensed and audited.

Local ownership

Plants employ local people. Profits stay in the community. Skills compound across generations.

Climate-aligned

Solar in. LPG out. Biomass displaced. Every plant is an emissions-reduction asset.

Impact at a glance

The numbers we're building
toward by 2030.

We measure what matters — clean cooking access, emissions avoided, hours returned to women, jobs created, and homes electrified. Every plant adds to the ledger.
