Aradel Holdings Plc Wins Best Full-field Integrated Operator Award At Energy Summit

Aradel Holdings Plc has been selected as the recipient of the Best Full-Field Integrated Operator Award at the 9th edition of the Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES 2026), hosted by the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Nigeria.

The award recognises energy companies whose operations span upstream production, midstream infrastructure, and downstream delivery, and reflect a fully integrated approach to value creation across Nigeria’s energy value chain. The award was presented after a rigorous selection process and voting by key stakeholders across the energy industry.

As acknowledged by the Management of NIES, ‘Aradel’s operations demonstrate coordinated asset development, infrastructure integration, and market delivery that support production efficiency, domestic supply, and delivery of long-term value across the sector.’

This award marks the second time Aradel has received this recognition for its integrated operating model at this prestigious industry forum.

Previously, at the 7th edition of NIES, as part of the 2024 Energy Industry Awards, Aradel was honoured with the Best Fully Integrated Energy Company of the Year Award, underscoring the consistency and depth of its integrated approach across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.

Speaking on this recognition, Adegbite Falade, MD/CEO, Aradel Holdings Plc commented:

“This recognition reflects Aradel’s commitment to integration, scale, and long-term growth across the energy value chain. We are proud of our contribution to Nigeria’s energy development through operational excellence and strategic infrastructure investment. Building on the strong foundation laid by our founders, and having recently attained 20 years of continuous production, we remain focused on long-term value creation for our stakeholders.”

The Nigeria International Energy Summit is one of Africa’s foremost energy platforms, convening government leaders, regulators, industry operators, investors, and global partners to advance dialogue on energy policy, investment, and innovation. The award was presented during the Gala Dinner and Award Night at NIES 2026, at the State House Banquet Hall, Aso Villa, Abuja.
