Sahara Group, which announced this in a statement, maintained that the second edition of Asharami Square, its flagship thought leadership platform, would explore important gas-related options as Africa seeks various opportunities to enhance energy access and security across the continent.

Dr Adeola Yusuf, Team Lead at Platforms Africa, will explore the media’s role in shaping awareness, moderating policy and preventing misinformation and greenwashing, the oil giant said in the statement signed by Bethel Obioma, Head Corporate Communications at Sahara Group.

Dr Yusuf, a researcher of media roles in energy and development, is a fellow of Thomson Reuters Foundation Scheme on Illicit Finance Reporting in Africa who led Platforms Africa to emerge the runner-up for the Nigeria Content Media of the Year 2025 organised by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

He would speak at the event themed “Harnessing Gas for Africa’s Sustainable Future” Obioma said, adding that 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 and 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.
