Nigeria to host 20th Oil & Gas Conference Exhibition
After a year of uncertainty in the market, the country will be hosting the Nigeria Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition (5 – 8 July, 2021).
The Nigeria Oil & Gas International Exhibition in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, is Nigeria’s most important oil, gas, LNG and energy exhibition, where energy professionals convene to exchange in dialogue, showcase technological advancements, identify innovative solutions and forge business partnerships.
The event provides a platform for industry stakeholders to reconvene and discuss the most pertinent issues in the industry.
President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that Nigeria will strengthen its position as a regional leader in the oil and gas industry. President Buhari pledged that the Federal Government would continue to leverage oil and gas for development and pursue economic diversification across all sectors.
Themed “Fortifying the Nigerian Oil & Gas Industry for Economic Stability & Growth”, the 20th NOG Strategic Conference continues to play a pivotal role in providing a platform for presidents, ministers, heads of government agencies and CEOs to discuss plans for policy, upcoming projects and solutions to current challenges in the industry.
According to the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, H. E Dr. Timipre Sylva, “NOG has in the last two decades given the energy industry a unique platform bringing together government, legislators, IOCs, service companies and indigenous players to discuss policy, implementation, challenges and agree on ways forward.”
He calls on all stakeholders to come together at the 20th NOG to tap into the available opportunities that will strengthen the industry and the country at large.
“…As we assess the impact of global events, COVID-19 and the drop in the oil price on the Nigerian energy sector, #20NOG21 invites you to become a pivotal part of the discussion,” Dr. Sylva urges.
