Founded in 2008, Elipse International began as a small solutions provider before evolving into a fully integrated mineral enterprise. Today, the company operates across the entire value chain, from exploration and extraction to processing and global export.
Under Akogwu’s leadership, Elipse International has expanded its footprint across several strategic states in Nigeria, securing mining concessions and establishing mineral buying centers and processing facilities that meet international standards.
The company’s growing portfolio includes copper, lead, zinc, lithium, and other critical industrial minerals. Its subsidiary, Elipse Lithium Ltd, is helping position Nigeria within the global clean energy supply chain at a time of rising demand for battery and renewable energy materials.
Beyond commercial growth, Elipse International places strong emphasis on community development, ethical mining practices, and environmental responsibility, reinforcing the view that industrial success can go hand in hand with sustainable local impact.
