Oceangate Engineering has continued to demonstrate its commitment to Nigeria’s economic growth through job creation, tax contributions, and strategic partnerships that are reshaping local industries. The company’s expanding footprint is not only transforming communities but also reinforcing Nigeria’s drive toward sustainable development.
Over the past few years, Oceangate Engineering has emerged as a key player in the nation’s industrial sector, employing hundreds of Nigerians across various technical and administrative roles. This direct employment, coupled with indirect jobs created through its supply chain, has offered opportunities to thousands of families. By prioritizing local talent, the company is helping to curb unemployment while building a skilled workforce for the future.
Beyond job creation, Oceangate has made significant tax contributions that support government revenue and critical infrastructure projects. The company’s compliance with federal and state tax obligations underscores its role as a responsible corporate citizen, ensuring that communities benefit from the multiplier effects of its operations.
A notable aspect of Oceangate’s impact is its deliberate partnerships with local suppliers. By sourcing raw materials, equipment, and services from Nigerian businesses, the company strengthens small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that form the backbone of the local economy. These collaborations not only boost production capacity but also stimulate innovation and competitiveness in the supply chain.
Industry analysts note that Oceangate Engineering’s economic footprint extends beyond financial figures. Its investment in technology transfer and workforce training ensures that Nigeria is not only a consumer but also a creator of cutting-edge engineering solutions. This knowledge-sharing approach is positioning the country as a hub for technical expertise in West Africa.
As Nigeria seeks to diversify its economy and reduce dependency on imports, Oceangate Engineering’s model provides a practical pathway. By generating value through jobs, taxes, and partnerships, the company exemplifies how private sector players can drive inclusive growth and national development.
With continued investment and expansion, Oceangate Engineering is set to play an even greater role in shaping Nigeria’s economic landscape for decades to come.

The Senate has rejected Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s bid to return to plenary, insisting that her six-month suspension remains in effect pending the outcome of her appeal.
In a letter signed by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, the Senate confirmed receiving Akpoti-Uduaghan’s notification that she intended to resume legislative duties on September 4, 2025, which she argued marked the end of her suspension.
However, the Senate maintained that her suspension, which began on March 6, 2025, is still valid and cannot be lifted while the case is before the Court of Appeal.
“The matter remains sub judice, and until the judicial process is concluded, no administrative action can be taken to facilitate your resumption,” the letter read.
Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, was suspended in March over alleged breaches of Senate standing orders. The Federal High Court in Abuja later upheld the suspension, prompting her to challenge the decision at the Court of Appeal.
The Senate stated that her suspension would only be reviewed after the appellate court delivers its judgment.

He noted that Lamle’s exceptional academic and professional background uniquely positions him to make impactful contributions to Nigeria’s climate and peacebuilding agenda.
Governor Mutfwang noted that Prof. Lamle is a distinguished Nigerian academic and Professor of Anthropology of Conflict Management and Peace Studies, widely respected for his deep expertise in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. He lauded his intellectual depth, visionary thinking, and influential role in shaping development policies and governance across Africa.
“Prof. Lamle’s remarkable body of work has significantly influenced conflict management frameworks and policy interventions continent-wide,” the Governor stated. “His unwavering dedication to excellence, resilience in personal and professional development, and commitment to nation-building make him an asset not just to Plateau State, but to Nigeria and the global community.”
As Lead Consultant, Prof. Lamle is expected to provide technical leadership in strengthening the capacity of government institutions, civil society organizations, and sub-national actors to design and implement climate action strategies that also promote peace and stability across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
On behalf of the government and peace-loving people of Plateau State, Governor Mutfwang extended his sincere congratulations to Prof. Elias Nankap Lamle, while praying for God’s continued wisdom, strength, good health, and guidance as he carries out this critical national assignment.

On October 26th, all eyes will be on Jos, Plateau State, as Zang Global officially unveils its groundbreaking renewable energy innovations developed from electronic waste. The company, founded by visionary CEO Zang Luka Bot, is set to showcase how discarded gadgets and condemned batteries can be transformed into powerful solutions for Africa’s persistent electricity challenges.
For Zang, this unveiling is more than just a corporate milestone, it represents the fulfillment of a personal journey. Inspired by the need to tackle Africa’s unreliable power supply, he began experimenting with electronic waste, determined to create solutions that were both sustainable and affordable.
“My innovation journey was inspired by the need to solve Africa’s power supply problems,” Zang explained. “This challenge pushed me into experimenting with electronic waste, where I discovered valuable components and successfully built my first power solution after several failed trials.”
The CEO’s path has been unconventional. Though he began his education in the arts, his curiosity pushed him toward science, where he independently conducted research and hands-on experiments. His determination eventually led him to study computer science, giving him the technical background to refine his discoveries. This blend of creativity and technical expertise now forms the backbone of Zang Global’s approach to recycling and renewable technology.
Currently, Zang Global sources 70 percent of its raw materials locally from discarded electronics, including laptop batteries, while importing the remaining 30 percent. Through careful rejuvenation and repurposing, the company transforms waste into functional lithium batteries and other critical components. This not only reduces environmental pollution but also advances sustainability in a continent where proper waste management remains a pressing issue.
Beyond recycling, the unveiling will highlight Zang Global’s vision for solar-powered innovations designed to expand access to electricity in underserved communities. With over 600 million Africans still living without reliable power, such innovations hold immense potential for both social and economic transformation.
Yet, challenges persist. Zang points to limited resources for automation as a major obstacle to scaling up production. Nevertheless, he remains undeterred. “Zang Global’s projection is to expand beyond Plateau State and Nigeria, targeting Africa and global markets,” he said, stressing the ambition to make African-born solutions part of global conversations on renewable energy.
The upcoming launch also symbolizes a larger movement, the idea that African innovators can turn local problems into global opportunities. By harnessing e-waste, Zang Global is not only lighting up homes but also reducing carbon footprints, creating jobs, and inspiring a new generation of thinkers to view waste as a resource.
As October 26th approaches, anticipation grows for what Zang Global will reveal. For many, it is a glimpse into a future where innovation, sustainability, and determination converge to solve Africa’s toughest challenges. For Zang Luka Bot, it is proof that even from discarded e-waste, a brighter and cleaner future can emerge.
