Real insights from the field on how natural gas is enabling reliable energy systems, supporting industry, and unlocking long-term growth across the continent.
ILF's presence in Sub-Saharan Africa dates back to 1977, when it commenced operations in Nigeria with the Warri-Kaduna crude oil pipeline project. Formally incorporated in Nigeria in 1981, the company has since grown to become a significant player in the region's engineering sector, particularly in resource and sustainability infrastructure projects.
Over the years, ILF has diversified its portfolio, but the resource and sustainability sector remains its primary revenue generator in Nigeria. The company has been involved in numerous pipeline projects across the country, demonstrating its extensive expertise in this domain. In the past decade, ILF has strategically focused on gas-to-energy, gas-to-power, and gas distribution and transmission projects, aligning with the region's increasing emphasis on leveraging natural gas resources for economic development.

As West Africa grapples with growing energy needs, ILF's strategy focuses on addressing the increasing demand for gas infrastructure development. The company is currently engaged in several significant gas transmission projects across West Africa, including in Nigeria and Ghana. The company has also been involved in various stages of the Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project, showcasing its regional influence and ability to support some of the continent’s most complex and biggest gas projects.
Looking ahead, ILF is positioning itself to capitalize on the rising demand for gas-related projects in West Africa. The company is adapting to evolving market conditions by emphasizing bankable feasibility studies and comprehensive project lifecycle management. Despite challenges in securing financing for large-scale transmission and distribution projects, ILF sees opportunities in smaller, retail and consumer-focused ventures such as LPG, LNG, and CNG projects for power generation.
As West Africa continues to develop its gas infrastructure, ILF aims to play a crucial role in building the necessary midstream and downstream facilities. With its extensive experience and local expertise, ILF is well-positioned to contribute significantly to the region's gas-driven economic development, while also addressing the challenges of skills development and capacity building in the sector.
