The Afreximbank President commended Nigeria for taking the bull by the horn in hosting the headquarters of Africa Ene Bank and expressed confidence in Nigeria’s oil and gas portfolio as the bank will not only benefit the energy sector in Africa but will guarantee immediate benefit for Nigeria.

The minister reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to collaborate towards its success. “This bank represents a bold step in ensuring that Africa controls and finances its energy future. It is an avenue for stakeholders to invest in a self-sustaining energy sector that will drive industrialisation, job creation, and economic prosperity,” he added.

As Africa prepares for the operational launch of the AEB, the Nigerian government called on industry stakeholders to engage proactively and explore the vast opportunities this initiative presents. The successful takeoff of the AEB will mark a new era in Africa’s energy development, positioning the continent as a global force in the sector.
