Who We Are

Bono Energy Group ‘Bono Group’ is a leading energy trading and services company. Our flagship company, Bono Energy Limited, was established in Nigeria in 2004, and we have, over the years, grown to become a market leader and created an enviable reputation of delivering with excellence.

We provide a broad array of energy solutions including, trading, risk management, distribution, and logistic support.

We trade several petroleum products and Crude Oil grades including, Middle Dilates and Natural Gas Liquids. We are pre-qualified to bid for spot cargoes of LNG, LPG, and Condensate with the Nigerian LNG Limited.

As a trusted market leader in oil and gas trading, we have earned an enviable reputation for delivering our services with excellence. Our trademark is breaking new grounds, and our resolve is to achieve new milestones daily. As an organization, we have imbibed international best practices into our operations.
Starting off as an oil and gas commodity trading company, Bono Group’s strategy is to be a vertically integrated energy company. We will achieve this by owning assets and providing services in both the midstream and upstream sectors of the oil and gas industry. Bono Energy’s trading counterparts consist of notable international and local trading houses, producers, refiners, brokers, bankers, and petchem end-users.
In furtherance of our vision of vertical integration, we acquired a petroleum storage terminal, via our subsidiary, Bono Energy Storage Terminal Limited (BEST), in Ibafon Apapa Lagos.

Our Lagos office is the headquarters and the hub of Bono Group’s global allied activities. From our base in the commercial centre of Nigeria, we have established a strong foothold in international trading activities. Bono Group is strategically positioned to take advantage of the opportunities inherent in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria, Africa, and the world.

We trade numerous grades of crude oil and various petroleum products, which include: Middle Distillate, Natural Gas Liquids, and LNG. These products are sourced from local and international markets.

Our teams take the time to study the local and international market to understand current market forces by engaging international players and local partners. We then analyse the information with our experience and develop practical trading models tailored to the market and our partners, thus, improving our operational efficiency and ensuring a risk-managed approach to our trades.

Our Risk Management Trading Approach

At Bono Group, we adopt a risk management strategy for all our trading activities.
