Texcoval connects energy resources to people through smart metering, AI monitoring, and digitized supply infrastructure.
Nigeria exports 700,000 tons of LPG annually while millions of its own citizens cook over open fires. The resources exist. The digital infrastructure to connect them to people does not — until now.
Across African estates and households, LPG is still distributed through heavy physical cylinders. Residents carry them up flights of stairs. They run out unexpectedly. They pay inflated middlemen prices with zero accountability or transparency.
There is no integrated digital system connecting energy producers, distributors, and consumers in real time. Fuel station owners call depot managers on the phone. Truckers are dispatched without GPS. Everyone operates in the dark.
The WHO estimates 600,000 deaths occur annually in Africa due to household air pollution from unsafe cooking fuels. Women and children bear the greatest burden. Toxic smoke causes respiratory disease, eye damage, and long-term organ harm.
Without reliable energy, children cannot study at night. Businesses cannot operate without interruption. Women spend hours collecting firewood instead of engaging in economic activity. Energy poverty costs Africa an estimated $17B in lost productivity annually.
Two integrated components that together build what no platform in Africa has built before.
IoT-enabled meters installed at each unit in an estate's gas network. Residents top up digitally — token generated instantly via direct API connection. AI monitors the entire network in real time, controlling valves, detecting anomalies, and preventing outages before they happen.
A platform that digitizes and optimizes the movement of LPG, PMS, AGO, and energy commodities from refineries and depots to distribution points — replacing phone calls with digital orders, manual tracking with GPS, and informal payments with accountable digital transactions.
IoT hardware, AI intelligence, real-time dashboards, and direct API integrations — working together as one platform.
Real-time gas measurement, automated valve control, and precise unit billing — eliminating guesswork completely.
Predict demand, detect anomalies, and trigger automated alerts — preventing outages before they happen.
Monitor consumption, revenue, and faults across all estates from one unified control center.
Token generation directly from distribution companies — instant, transparent, and middleman-free.
Seamless ordering from depot to station — eliminating manual calls, delays, and inefficiencies.
GPS-tracked delivery trucks with verified drop-offs, ensuring accountability across the supply chain.

Recent Activity
I didn’t start Texcoval because I wanted to build another energy company. I started it because I believed the way energy was being distributed could be better.
My interest in transforming the energy sector started long before Texcoval.
As a young student of Mechanical Engineering, and later during my industrial training in Rivers State, I became increasingly curious about how energy moved from infrastructure to the people who ultimately depended on it. I could see gaps in the way energy was distributed, processes that felt outdated, fragmented and heavily dependent on manual operations.
At the time, I didn’t know what the solution was. I only knew that there had to be a better way.
After graduating, I began my career at Oknate Energies, where I gained my first substantial exposure to the energy industry. Working within the sector allowed me to move beyond what I had learned in the classroom and understand the realities of energy infrastructure, LPG operations and distribution from the inside.
That experience eventually led me deeper into the LPG industry, including working around gas plants and participating in the development of our first skid at Texcoval.
But the more I understood the industry, the clearer the problem became.
The challenge was not simply producing or supplying energy. It was how efficiently, transparently and intelligently that energy reached the end user.
That realization became the foundation for Texcoval.
Today, Texcoval is an energy-tech company building software and connected technologies to make energy distribution more intelligent. Through our IoT smart metering, digital gas tokenization and energy logistics software, we are beginning to connect the physical energy infrastructure with the digital systems needed to make distribution more efficient, measurable and accessible.
What we have built so far is only the beginning of our rollout.
Our ambition is much bigger: to contribute to the transformation of how energy is distributed across Africa by combining technology, data, connected infrastructure and intelligent software.
But Texcoval is only one part of what drives me.
Outside my work in energy technology, I am passionate about education and finding practical ways to help children return to the classroom and have access to opportunities that can change the trajectory of their lives.
For me, building companies and creating social impact are not separate missions.
Texcoval is my contribution to building a better energy system, one that is more connected, transparent and accessible.
