His active involvement is anticipated to establish a solid groundwork for the development of innovative ideas and practical strategies that will further bolster local capabilities within Nigeria’s flourishing sustainable energy sector.

Among these pioneers, Godwin Izomor, the founder and pioneer Group Managing Director/CEO of MG Vowgas Group, stands out as a driving force. His leadership and the accomplishments of MG Vowgas Group epitomize the critical role of Nigerian content in actualizing the nation’s energy goals.
Godwin Izomor is no ordinary entrepreneur. His journey spans the entire value chain of the oil and gas industry and the maritime industry for the past three decades. His pioneering spirit, coupled with his extensive experience and profound understanding of the Nigerian oil and gas business environment, make him an inventive thinker unafraid to venture outside his comfort zone.
Under his leadership, MG Vowgas Group has become a market leader in Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning (EPCIC), fabrication, and marine logistics support services in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.

Nigeria’s Decade of Gas Plan hinges on the utilization of Nigerian content, actively promoting local talent, resources, and industries throughout the gas value chain. Companies like MG Vowgas have wholeheartedly embraced this concept, playing a significant role from gas exploration to distribution.
Izomor’s commitment to strengthening the Nigerian brand is evident through the company’s activities. MG Vowgas Nigeria Ltd, under his guidance, opened a modern fabrication yard in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, in 2017, proving that a wholly Nigerian company can compete in the engineering and fabrication works sector of oil and gas.
The company has also made substantial strides in engineering design and development services, supported by its skilled personnel and WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) machines.
Despite the challenges, Godwin Izomor’s passion for growing the Nigerian brand and upholding the local content policy of the Federal Government remains unmatched. MG Vowgas Group presently has a 98% Nigerian management staff structure and the capacity to train over 500 skilled and unskilled workers for the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
Moreover, the company has strategically partnered with international companies, such as Hunan Great Steel PipeCo, Sydna Steel Pipe Company, Bintang Subsea, and Seahorse Services Corporation.
