Axis Group

A holding for companies that have to work on a Tuesday.

Axis Group is a Nigerian conglomerate. The companies under it sell different things — litres of fuel, a ship’s call, a stake in the business, and a place to live — and they share an owner’s question: will this still be sound in five years, and can a customer find the person responsible?

Why these companies sit together

Cities run on fuel, on cargo that arrives by sea, and on rooms. Transaxis Energy supplies petrol and diesel with its own trucks, keeps stations open on solar-hybrid power, and is building CNG infrastructure. Transaxis Maritime, incorporated in 2011, is the marine company: port calls, cargo and the documents a terminal asks for, including petroleum cargo that belongs with the energy business. The Axis Apartment develops apartment buildings with those power and water facts in mind, then looks after them once people are living there. Transaxis Investment holds the capital, including its shareholding in Transaxis Energy, and is where a further business is considered before it operates.

Putting them in one group is practical. A cargo of fuel can be bought by the energy company, moved by road on its trucks or by sea through the maritime company, and the capital for both sits with the investment company. A residential generator or solar-hybrid plant can be specified by people who already buy and maintain energy equipment. Each company keeps its trade. The group makes them available to one another.

What the group does, and what it does not

Axis Group is the name on this website and the standard the companies are held to. It does not take over a delivery desk, a ship’s agent, or a building manager’s round. Transaxis Energy keeps its customers and its Abuja commercial team. Transaxis Maritime keeps the port call. Transaxis Investment keeps the holdings. The Axis Apartment keeps the design, the site and the residents.

The companies published here are Transaxis Energy, Transaxis Maritime, Transaxis Investment and The Axis Apartment. Another business will be added when there is something true to say about it.

A short record

What can already be dated.

2011

Transaxis Maritime is incorporated

The marine company is established in Nigeria. It is the group’s shipping and port business, registered as Trans-Axis Maritime Ltd.

2019

Transaxis Energy is incorporated

The company is established in Nigeria as an energy and infrastructure business and begins to build a downstream supply, retail and logistics footprint from Abuja.

Supply

A book, a fleet, a retail network

More than 50 million litres of diesel and gasoline supplied to construction and infrastructure clients. Thirteen tanker trucks under company management. Retail stations moved onto solar-hybrid power, with LPG top-up at selected sites.

Now

Gas, and homes

A 5.67 MMSCFD CNG mother station and five daughter stations are under development. Transaxis Investment holds the energy shareholding. The Axis Apartment carries the residential work: apartment development and the care of those buildings.

The standard

Five rules for every company in the group.

01

Know the hazard

Petroleum, traffic, height, fire, electricity, water under pressure. The company that creates the hazard is the company that controls it. Dates do not outrank that.

02

Comply in the open

Licences, approvals and contracts are part of the work. Transaxis Energy’s CNG programme is an example: approvals first, then construction.

03

Buy properly

Fuel is purchased from named refiners and traders. Building work is bought against drawings. Informal supply is not a business model.

04

Maintain the asset

Trucks, tanks, pumps, roofs, pumps again, lifts. A group that only cuts ribbons will not keep either a station or a home.

05

Answer

A client with a tanker on the road, and a resident with a failed pump, both get a person. The energy desk’s stated aim is a reply within one business day.

Where

Abuja, then the country

The published office is on the second floor of Gwandal Centre, Plot 1015 Fria Close, off Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse II. Energy deliveries run nationally from that commercial base. Apartment projects are tied to the cities where the sites are.

If you represent another company in the group

Send the legal name, what the company does, the office, and the facts you want published. This site will be updated from that, rather than from a guessed description.
