These projects are set to shape the region’s evolving energy landscape during the transition.

The Sangomar project produced its first oil in June 2024, with its initial phase targeting an estimated gross oil resource of 231 million barrels and aiming to produce up to 100,000 barrels per day. Concurrently, the GTA project is scheduled to commence gas production in the third quarter of 2024, it aims to yield approximately 2.5 million metric tons per annum of natural gas. Additionally, the MSGBC region boasts abundant renewable energy prospects, exemplified by large-scale green hydrogen initiatives such as the Chariot and TotalEnergies’ Green Hydrogen 10 GW Project Nour or the 35 GW GreenGo’s Megaton Moon project in Mauritania.

The CEO assembly promotes a balanced approach to African energy development, focusing on innovation and responsible resource management. It provides a platform for open industry discussions to address challenges, seize opportunities and shape the future of the sector for sustainability and prosperity.

Former Minister of Aviation and prominent PDP figure, Osita Chidoka, has voiced his concerns regarding Nigeria’s ongoing fuel and energy crisis. In a detailed post on his Facebook page, Chidoka highlighted the harsh realities faced by Nigerians due to soaring fuel prices.

“Yesterday, I spent ₦100,000 on fuel, nearly filling the tank of a Lexus 460 Jeep,” he revealed. At a price of ₦1,140 per litre, he noted, this amount exceeds Nigeria’s ₦70,000 minimum wage by ₦30,000.
