Ministerial Keynote Announced: A New Era for Nigeria

Hon. Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Federal Republic of Nigeria, will deliver the Ministerial Keynote: Nigeria’s New Era at SAIPEC 2025, focusing on the nation’s transformative journey in the oil sector.

Alongside him, Ms. Olu Verheijn, Special Advisor to the Nigerian President on Energy, will present an address titled Invest in Nigeria and its Expertise, emphasising opportunities for investment and highlighting Nigeria’s role as a leader in the energy sector.

Hon. Lokpobiri and Ms. Verheijn will join over 80 distinguished speakers in a three-day programme full of strategic discussions, panel sessions, and dynamic engagements, designed to address Africa’s energy opportunities and challenges.

Also on the programme, International Gas Union Secretary General, Mr Menelaos Ydreos will speak about the fundamental importance of gas in all its forms and how it is critical to human progress as well as the importance of gas for Africa as part of the opening plenary session.

The SAIPEC programme will also explore Africa’s natural gas potential as a cornerstone of global energy security, delving into LNG and FLNG projects, market opportunities and investment dynamic

Speaking recently in an interview with SAIPEC’s Official Event Publication, The Energy Republic, Mr Ydreos explained; “SAIPEC 2025 is a very important event to advance the regional and not only, industry debate on the future of the fossil fuels in the global energy mix. Gas is fundamental to human progress and global growth, and is a feedstock to critical industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and many more. In addition, and particularly related to the stark energy poverty and scarcity across the African continent, Gas can serve as an immediately available, reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy poverty break, allowing hundreds of millions of people across the continent to have access to clean cooking, power, and clean air.”
