From L-R: Ebunie Nwizu, Chief Obiora Nwizu (Chairman, CET Power) and Emeka Ndu, (Chairman, Traxport Rail Services) after the meeting to agree the investment

We are pleased to announce that DeWiz Engineering Services Ltd, a member of the CET Group, has acquired equity in Traxport Rail Services Ltd. This investment marks the beginning of a strategic, long-term partnership between our two organisations—one rooted in innovation, infrastructure development, and a shared commitment to a cleaner, more efficient freight transportation future for Nigeria and West Africa.

Traxport Rail Services is pioneering a climate-conscious rail freight system connecting Lagos to Kano, using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the primary fuel source. This initiative represents a decisive shift away from road-based diesel transport, offering not just environmental benefits but a more secure, scalable, and cost-effective alternative for bulk freight logistics.

The CET Group, through DeWiz Engineering, brings to this collaboration a legacy of pan-African infrastructure delivery, with active investments in power generation, engineering services, and the development of an LNG plant at Ogbele, Rivers State. Their technical depth and project execution track record significantly strengthen Traxport’s capacity to realise its bold operational targets.

This partnership is about more than just capital. It reflects aligned values, mutual confidence, and a joint determination to redefine what is possible in Nigeria’s freight rail sector.

Together, we are investing in the backbone of regional trade and enabling an energy transition that aligns with national and continental sustainability goals.

We look forward to building a stronger, greener, and more connected future—together.
