Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo will on Tuesday deliver the keynote address at the World Liquified Natural Gas Association Forum in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Laolu Akande said in a release that Osinbajo would depart Abuja early on Monday to participate at the forum.
Akande said world leaders, top government ministers from several countries and Chief Executives of major multinational corporations in the Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) sectors around the globe would be attending the week-long 2021 World LPG Week from Sunday through Thursday this week under the auspices of the Paris-based World LPG Association.
The theme of the forum, which is attracting over 2,000 delegates from 72 countries is “LPG Week: “Energising Tomorrow.”
The World LGP Week, which first held in Amsterdam in 2019, is an annual event bringing together major LPG companies, senior public sector officials, industry experts and other relevant stakeholders.
This year’s LPG Week, which will hold at the Dubai World Trade Centre, creates the opportunity for global stakeholders to engage with the activities lined up, including a global exhibition, technology conference, the LPG Development Summit, among others.
The World LPG Association was established in 1987 and granted Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, ECOSOC, in 1989. WLPGA is the umbrella association which globally coordinates the LPG industry.
Akande stated that Vice President Osinbajo would return to Abuja on Thursday.
