NOG Energy Week 2024: West African Countries Harnessing Gas for
Industrialisation to Boost Economic Development

Many African countries are harnessing gas and other cleaner and greener
energies to drive their industrialisation journey. African countries
including Ghana and Nigeria are investing in gas infrastructure and
promoting its utilisation, and by extension are addressing energy poverty
and environmental challenges.

The Honourable Minister of Energy for Ghana, H.E. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh,
who recently confirmed his participation in the NOG Energy Week, taking
place from 30 June to 4 July at the ICC, Abuja, amplified the need for
competitive financing to propel natural gas projects.

Nigeria, boasting gas reserves of over 200TCF, recently announced plans to
execute a gas strategy that will trigger the nations industrialisation and
economic growth. NNPC Limited's Executive Vice President for Upstream,
Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, shared the organisation's plans to deepen domestic gas
utilisation for power generation in a bid to support the manufacturing
sector.

To transform the energy sector in West Africa, leveraging natural gas to
drive economic growth and development is key. Gas for industrialisation
contributes to increasing energy transition progress across the region. From
revitalising key industries to fostering innovation, the strategic focus on
gas underscores a commitment to propel West Africa towards a future built on
energy security and economic resilience. Through the Decade of Gas
Initiative by the Nigerian government, industry leaders have continually
conveyed a collaborative approach aimed at unlocking the country's energy
resources.

To drive progress in Sub-Saharan Africa's energy market, energy
stakeholders, government officials, regulators, and key industry players are
convening at NOG Energy Week 2024 to deliberate on policies aimed at meeting
West Africa's energy demand. The event, themed "Showcasing Opportunities.
Driving Investment. Meeting Energy Demand.", is scheduled to take place from
30 June - 4 July at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja.

Speaking on what stakeholders should expect at NOG Energy Week 2024 (
