Cirrus Energy Nigeria

What Cirrus Energy Nigeria does

Cirrus Energy Nigeria Limited is a privately held Nigerian technical services firm founded in October 2009 and headquartered at 32 Norman Williams Street, Ikoyi, Lagos, with a secondary office in Abuja. The company supplies contract, temporary, and permanent technical personnel to oil and gas operators and contractors in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, and complements its staffing business with procurement and project management services. It claims access to more than 200,000 technical CVs through worldwide technical partners, enabling multi-discipline staffing across both local and expatriate categories.

The service portfolio spans three core lines — Technical Manpower Recruitment, Procurement and Logistics (including value engineering, expediting, inspection, and Factory Acceptance Testing), and Project Management (covering budget estimates through commissioning) — supported by Consular/Immigration Services and Pay Rolling. There is no proprietary software platform; Cirrus operates as a traditional services firm whose underlying assets are its candidate database, partner relationships, and project delivery expertise. Named project engagements include Oando Exploration and Production Limited's Akepo Field, Conserve Oil Nigeria Limited on the Bonga Field Development Project FPSO, International Energy Services Limited on the Domestic Gas Supply Obligation Project and the Egina FPSO, and National Engineering and Technical Company Limited (NETCO) on the Egina FPSO Project.

The business model is B2B direct sales to enterprise oil and gas clients under professional services contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has between 11 and 50 employees, lists Teresols Nigeria, Proexpa, and Promat as partners, and reports West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa as its operating geographies. No external investors, parent company, or public funding rounds have been disclosed, and the senior leadership comprises three directors — Akeem Owoade (Business Development Director), Toyin Fashoro (Operations and Projects Director), and Rufun Ibrahim Jauro (Director, based in Abuja).
