The Zedcrest Group has earned commendation for its strong participation at the 2025 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE), where the organisation delivered a series of high-impact engagements aimed at strengthening financial literacy within the nation’s oil and gas sector.
According to Oyinkansola Adeboye, ACIM, Head of Brands and Communications at Zedcrest Group, the initiative was designed to bridge a longstanding gap between the technical expertise prevalent in the energy industry and the financial knowledge required to make sustainable, forward-thinking economic decisions. Adeboye described the company’s involvement as both strategic and timely, noting that improved financial understanding has become essential for professionals navigating today’s evolving energy landscape.
During the conference, the Zedcrest team facilitated an insightful panel session that drew active participation from industry leaders, policy influencers, and young professionals. The discussions explored the intersection of energy operations and financial management, addressing issues such as risk mitigation, investment planning, and the growing relevance of smart financial behaviour in high-pressure technical fields. Attendees described the dialogue as “rich,” “relevant,” and “highly practical,” with many highlighting the need for continued knowledge-sharing between the finance and energy sectors.
The atmosphere around the Zedcrest engagement was described as energetic and forward-looking, reflecting what Adeboye called “a collective desire to push boundaries, challenge outdated systems, and drive sustainable impact” within one of Africa’s most critical economic sectors. She expressed gratitude for the teamwork displayed throughout the event, acknowledging colleagues Oreoluwa Babatunde, Abdullahi Fawale, Victor Okusanya, and Adeyemi Idowu for their dedication in delivering a seamless and impactful presence for the organisation.
The participation of Zedcrest Group at this year’s NAPE Conference reinforces the company’s growing reputation as a thought leader in financial empowerment, industry education, and cross-sector collaboration. As discussions continue around the future of oil and gas in Nigeria, the firm says it remains committed to initiatives that build stronger institutions, more informed professionals, and a more resilient national economy.
