Stakeholders to discuss Africa’s energy future


Experts and other stakeholders will gather for the 2025 NOG Energy Week to discuss Africa’s energy sector.

The 24th edition of NOG Energy Week will help to advance conversations on raising African stakes in the global energy industry.

Themed ‘Accelerating Global Energy Progress through Investment, Partnerships and Innovation’, the event is scheduled to be held from June 29 to July 3 at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

According to a statement by the organisers, the summit will bring together leaders, policymakers, regulators, and professionals from across the globe to discuss energy transformation and explore emerging business opportunities within the country.

Speaking about the conference, the Director-Nigeria, dmg Nigeria Events, Odiri Umusu, said, “For over two decades, NOG Energy Week has been at the heart of shaping Africa’s energy progress, driving conversations that influence policy, investment decisions, and industry growth.

“As we gather for the 24th edition, the stakes are higher than ever, with shifting global energy policies, the push for resource maximisation, and the need for sustainable development.”

This platform remains indispensable. NOG Energy Week 2025 will dissect the challenges and also spotlight actionable strategies that ensure Africa strengthens its role in the global energy industry.’’

Umusu added that the event will feature high-level discussions on policy frameworks, financing mechanisms, and technological innovations needed to drive Africa’s energy transformation.

The NOG Energy Week is the official meeting place for the global energy sector in sub-Saharan Africa. It is produced by DMG Nigeria Events, a subsidiary of DMG Events.

He added that the conference will explore pathways for accelerating global energy progress through investment, partnerships, and innovation, serving as a catalyst for discussions on energy security, economic resilience, and sustainable growth.

“As the energy sector is being shaped by key global developments, including the new President Donald Trump administration’s energy policies, shifting trade agreements and a revitalised focus on fossil fuels, it is reinforcing the need for Africa to position itself within this evolving global context, ensuring that external policies do not hinder the continent’s drive for energy independence and infrastructure development.

“The establishment of the African Energy Bank and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement signal a new chapter in regional cooperation, opening avenues for increased financing and cross-border energy collaboration. NOG Energy Week 2025 will provide a platform for industry leaders to discuss how to leverage these initiatives to expand energy access, finance large-scale projects, and promote sustainable energy solutions.

“As Africa’s largest economy, Nigeria remains a focal point in the global energy debate. The country’s oil production levels, gas development ambitions, and refining sector are undergoing significant transformations. With a focus on investment, partnerships, and innovation, NOG Energy Week 2025 will explore pathways to energy security, economic resilience, and a sustainable future for Nigeria, Africa, and the global energy landscape,” the statement concluded.
