NOG Energy week to advance Africa’s role in global energy industry
Organisers of NOG Energy Week have confirmed that the 24th edition of the flagship event will take place in Abuja from 29th June to 3rd July 2025.
With the theme “Accelerating Global Energy Progress through Investment, Partnerships and Innovation,” the conference is set to attract a distinguished lineup of policymakers, industry leaders, regulators, and energy professionals from around the world. Attendees will explore the future of energy in Nigeria and Africa, examining transformative strategies and uncovering new business prospects within the evolving energy landscape.
Speaking ahead of the event, Odiri Umusu, Director – Nigeria at dmg Nigeria Events, remarked:
“For more than twenty years, NOG Energy Week has stood at the centre of Africa’s energy evolution—serving as a critical platform for conversations that shape policy directions, influence investment decisions, and stimulate sector-wide growth.
“As we prepare for the 24th edition, the context is more dynamic than ever. With global energy policies in flux, the urgency of resource optimisation, and the mounting pressure for sustainable development, this gathering becomes even more essential. NOG Energy Week 2025 will confront the pressing challenges head-on and shine a light on practical pathways that ensure Africa strengthens its presence on the global energy stage.”
This year’s edition will feature in-depth sessions on policy development, financing options, and breakthrough technologies capable of propelling Africa’s energy transformation. From renewables to hydrocarbons, the conference will examine how strategic collaboration can unlock the continent’s full energy potential.
Recognised as sub-Saharan Africa’s premier energy gathering, NOG Energy Week is produced by dmg Nigeria Events, a subsidiary of dmg events—a global organiser behind major international conferences and exhibitions including ADIPEC and Gastech.
Adding a global dimension to the discourse, recent remarks by United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, have reignited interest in Africa’s role in the global energy equation. Wright stressed the need for balanced, pragmatic energy policies that account for both economic development and environmental responsibility. He called attention to the critical role of Africa’s abundant natural gas reserves and the necessity of investing in both established hydrocarbon infrastructure and emerging clean energy technologies.
Umusu noted that Wright’s comments resonate strongly with the aims of NOG Energy Week 2025, further validating the conference’s importance in steering forward-looking discussions and encouraging tangible progress in Africa’s energy space.
In the broader context, the global energy sector continues to shift under the weight of new political developments, including policy shifts under the second Trump administration, evolving trade relationships, and renewed support for fossil fuels. These external dynamics underscore the need for African nations to define their energy futures on their own terms—ensuring global decisions do not derail local ambitions for energy security, independence, and infrastructure growth.
