At NOG 2021, Timipre Sylva, minister of state for petroleum resources expressed his delight about President Mohammadu Buhari’s “constant support towards ensuring that Nigerian oil and gas industry moves in tandem with the current global realities”.

While it is clear that stakeholders have to do their bit to ensure we keep the industry moving forward, Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo, secretary-general, OPEC stated: “The oil and gas industries have much to offer, including some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies and advanced innovations, which can all be leveraged to promote a lower carbon future”.

The PIA conversations at NOG 2022 will take a new and interesting form to support Nigeria’s energy growth story, the organisers said.
