APO Organises Oil, Gas Summit To Address Poverty In Africa

The African Peace Organisation (APO) is set to organise the 3rd edition of the International African Energy, Oil and Gas (IAEOG) Summit to promote business cooperation, stimulate investment and create jobs among African countries.

The summit, which is billed to take place in Namibia, will further boost business cooperation with Nigeria as a follow up to the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA). The event is organised to address the poverty rate in Africa.

This is coming against the report that in 2024, around 429 million people in the continent were living in extreme poverty which had led to insecurity and conflict.

The chairman of APO, Hon. Justice Suleiman Galadima (rtd.), and Noah Ajare, the Editor-in-Chief of African Peace Magazine (APM) UK, a member of APO, made this known in a joint statement yesterday in Abuja.

“We bring you compliments from the Chairman, Hon. Justice Suleiman Galadima JSC, CFR, OFR (Rtd.) and the Management of African Peace Magazine UK.

“African Peace Magazine UK, a member of the African Peace Organisation, we have been publishing for well over 14 years, and we are committed to promoting peace, business networking, good governance and improved condition of living for Africans.

“We are pleased to invite you to the 2024 International African Energy, Oil and Gas Summit, an event pivotal for those eager to stay abreast the latest trends, innovations and opportunities in the oil and gas industry.

“The International African Energy, Oil & Gas Summit & Awards/Exhibition (IAEOG) is few weeks away, kicking off on 22nd to 30th of October, 2024.

“This premier event continues to grow remarkably each year, with over 2,500 attendees expected to converge from more than 50 countries under one roof.

“This event, a proactive endeavor supporting the AfCTA’s mission to forge regional value chains in Africa, aims at stimulating investment and job creation across the continent.

“AfCFTA’s ultimate goal is to unify approximately 1.3 billion people across Africa, with a collective GDP of US$ 3.4 trillion,” they said.

They said the summit will bring together high level top executives, CEOs, managers, investors, the business community, government agencies, exporters and importers from oil and gas sectors from across Africa and the world to deliberate on the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition and the future of oil and gas in Africa.

The summit, which had the theme, “A Symphony of Progress – Harnessing Africa’s Natural Resource Development,” would be held at Hilton Windhoek, Rev. Michael Scott St. Windhoek Namibia.

The event will feature panel discussions, presentations, exhibitions, dinners, charity golf tournament, award presentations, tours and a host of others.

It will be recalled that the 2nd edition of the IAEOG Summit took place in Angola between 30th of November 2023 and 3rd of December, 2023.
