As West Africa’s largest conference and exhibition serving the international oil, gas, LNG and energy sector in Nigeria, the meeting brings policy makers, regulators and private sector leaders together to discuss Nigeria’s critical energy agenda.
With a population of over 200 mn people and a growing economy, Nigeria recognises the urgent need to address energy challenges while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The shift towards sustainable gas and new energy solutions aligns with the global commitment to combat climate change and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
For over 20 years, the NOG Energy Week strategic conference has helped to build partnerships for the Nigerian energy sector with participation from presidents, ministers, heads of government agencies and CEOs to discuss policy implementation, project developments, showcase investment opportunities and solutions to current industry challenges including how to decarbonise traditional oil and gas operations.
Ahead of the official opening of the conference, Wemimo Oyelana, country director, dmg Nigeria events, said, "NOG Energy Week is committed to fostering the conversations that ensure Nigeria makes the best use of it’s natural resources for socio-economic development. In light of this, the theme for this year’s edition came from our research at this critical time of energy transition. Industry leaders will come together to discuss and debate strategies that will increase investment flows into the country, improve operations for the industry and foster international partnerships. With a proven record of serving the Nigerian energy industry for the past two decades, we look forward to once again creating a platform that facilitates multilateral dialogue, advances multistakeholder engagement and enables critical deal making for many more decades to come.’’
