Scheduled for Friday, July 11, 2025, in Lagos, the event is themed “Harnessing Gas for Africa’s Sustainable Future”.

Asharami Square is a Sahara Group initiative aimed at promoting sustainability through effective media advocacy. “The platform is specifically designed to foster a holistic understanding of sustainability and influence effective, balanced and reliable reporting by journalists across print, electronic and digital platforms,” said Bethel Obioma, Head, Corporate Communications at Sahara Group.

Obioma said the agenda-setting role of the media makes it imperative for practitioners to understand how Africa should engage and act on important issues like energy transition, energy access/security, environmental stewardship, and sustainable development. “The media should be equipped to play an active role in policy formulation and execution. Asharami Square gives participants access to subject-matter experts, facilitating meaningful conversations that will ultimately help improve reporting and foster better understanding,” he added.

Director, Governance and Sustainability, Sahara Group, Ejiro Gray, said the focus on gas is critical for Africa at this time, given the key role it is playing in improving access to clean, reliable energy across Africa.
