ABUJA, NIGERIA — Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited participated in the 9th edition of the Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES 2026), held from 2 to 5 February 2026 at the International Conference Centre, Abuja. Convened under the theme “Energy for Peace and Prosperity: Securing Our Shared Future,” the summit gathered heads of state, energy ministers, national oil companies, regulators, multilateral institutions, and private sector leaders from across Africa and beyond.
NIES, the Federal Government of Nigeria’s official energy event, stands as Africa’s most consequential platform for energy policy dialogue, investment mobilisation, and cross-border collaboration. For Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited, participation at this level is not incidental. It reflects the firm’s strategic positioning at the centre of Africa’s energy transition, infrastructure buildout, and investment facilitation agenda.
“Africa does not have an energy deficit. It has a capital and infrastructure deficit. We are here because solving that problem is what we do.”
— Engr Rex Bassey, Chief Executive Officer, Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited
At NIES 2026, Africenergy’s delegation engaged in high-level discussions spanning upstream investment, gas monetisation, power infrastructure, and the financing of Africa’s clean energy transition. The firm held bilateral engagements with key stakeholders across the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd), the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), and international energy institutions represented at the Summit.
The Summit’s focus on midstream and downstream infrastructure development aligned closely with Africenergy’s strategic interests in energy value-chain investment across Nigeria and the broader African continent. The firm’s participation reinforced its institutional relationships and expanded its engagement with prospective partners in the financing, development, and operation of critical energy infrastructure.
Nigeria holds the largest proven natural gas reserves on the African continent and is one of the world’s most significant hydrocarbon producers. Under the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, ongoing structural reforms — anchored by the Petroleum Industry Act, the Electricity Act 2023, and Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan targeting net-zero by 2060 — are creating substantive investment opportunities across the full energy value chain.
Africenergy & Infrastructure Limited is positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, this transformation. The firm brings deep institutional insight, executive networks, and strategic depth to its investment and advisory mandates — built on longstanding engagement across Africa’s energy governance architecture.
Africenergy is active across investment facilitation, institutional advisory, training and capacity development, and infrastructure development in the energy and power sectors.
