Speaking on the significance of WGC 2025, NGA president Akachukwu Nwokedi said: “The significance of Nigeria’s role in the global energy market cannot be overemphasised. Our country possesses the capacity to drive transformative growth within Nigeria and across Africa. The World Gas Conference provides the ideal platform to highlight our contributions to a sustainable energy future on the continent”.

Highlighting the importance of showcasing Nigeria’s energy milestones, Nwokedi added, “The Nigerian Pavilion reflects Nigeria’s progress as an energy-rich nation. It also underscores our commitment to creating an investor-friendly environment through robust policies and infrastructure that support accelerated and sustainable gas sector growth, without losing sight of our decarbonisation objectives”.

In recognition of Nigeria’s growing influence in the global energy sector, the WGC will feature the Nigerian Day event, a dedicated celebration of Nigeria’s rich culture and contributions to the global energy landscape.

Regarding the occasion, Nwokedi stated:  “Nigerian Day is a unique opportunity to celebrate our culture on a global stage, showcasing the rich culture and heritage that define our people. This celebration is not just about recognising our achievements but also about sharing the vibrant essence of Nigeria with the world.”

He encouraged the corporate entities in the energy sector to take advantage of the Nigeria Pavilion at the WGC, saying, “This is not just an opportunity to narrate Nigeria’s energy story but also a chance to engage with global decision-makers, policymakers, and investors.

For decades, the World Gas Conference has served as a premier knowledge-sharing forum, shaping the trajectory of the global gas industry. As an Association Partner for WGC 2025, the NGA as Nigeria’s leading gas industry advocacy group will ensure Nigeria’s voice resonates globally, fostering partnerships, collaboration and innovation that will unlock Nigeria’s latent potential for a more sustainable energy future.
