According to Osaze Isesele, Event Director, the Forum—now in its third edition—has become a central platform for strategic dialogue around Nigeria’s gas monetization agenda and energy-driven industrialisation efforts.
He noted that the event is endorsed by the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources and co-hosted by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), providing a trusted meeting point for both policymakers and private-sector stakeholders navigating the country’s “Decade of Gas” policy.
Ms. Olubukola Arowolo Verheijen will serve as Chief Host and deliver the keynote address. Her leadership at the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Energy (OSAE) has been central to driving transformational reforms across Nigeria’s oil, gas, and power sectors, in alignment with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.
