Under the theme “Powering Nigeria’s Gas Future: Energy Security, Industrialization & Economic Growth,” the Gas Investment Forum 2024 is expected to welcome over 800 delegates, establishing itself as a hub for sustainable investment in the African gas market this October.
“It is my pleasure to express support for this important event. The program’s theme and agenda align well with the federal government’s policy aspirations as articulated by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources,” Nicholas Ella, permanent secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources said.
The Ministry, instrumental in shaping Nigeria’s energy policy, will provide a detailed presentation of its recent achievements and unveil upcoming strategies aimed at advancing the nation’s gas industry.
This year’s forum is poised to be a major event for the sector, focusing on critical topics such as energy security, industrialization, and economic growth. The Ministry’s participation underscores the Nigerian government’s ongoing commitment to utilizing the country’s substantial gas resources as a cornerstone for economic diversification and sustainable progress.
“We commend the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Permanent Secretary for their support and active participation in championing sustainable long-term investment in Nigeria’s gas sector while paving the way for robust socioeconomic development in Nigeria and West Africa. We are encouraged by this support and look forward to Nigeria’s leadership in advancing gas development at this year’s Gas Investment Forum,” said Gas Investment Forum Event Director, Osaze Isesele.
Nigeria boasts one of the largest gas reserves in the world, with over 200 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves, positioning the country as a key player in the global energy landscape. Despite this immense potential, investment in the gas sector has historically been hampered by infrastructural deficits, regulatory challenges, and fluctuating global energy prices. However, recent policy reforms and government initiatives are beginning to unlock new opportunities for investment and growth, particularly in the areas of gas infrastructure, processing, and distribution.

These developments are crucial for enhancing energy security and promoting the industrialization of the Nigerian economy.
