SAIPEC to mark 10th anniversary as Sub-Saharan Africa’s premier energy conference returns to Nigeria

The Sub Saharan Africa International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC) is set to return for its landmark 10th edition from February 10–12, 2026, at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.

Over the past decade, SAIPEC has evolved into the leading platform for Africa’s energy dialogue—uniting national and international oil companies, policymakers, innovators, and investors to shape the future of oil, gas, and the broader energy sector across Sub-Saharan Africa.

SAIPEC 2024 saw delegates from over 50 countries, including Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Morocco, Liberia, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, and Senegal, highlighting the event’s extensive regional and international reach.

“SAIPEC is the most informative conference in Sub-Saharan Africa,” said Jessica Kyeyune, National Content Specialist at Uganda National Oil Company and a 2024 speaker.

“You can comprehensively learn about what is happening in the region and the opportunities available for service providers and investors.”

In a similar vein, Dr. Riverson Oppong of Ghana National Gas Company described SAIPEC as a critical space for high-level discourse on energy’s role in Africa’s development: “The diverse solutions proffered to the myriad of issues discussed will make this conference worth your while.”

With local content development, energy transition, and technological innovation central to its agenda, SAIPEC continues to foster strategic partnerships and unlock transformative business opportunities.

Organised in partnership with PETAN, the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), and NNPC Ltd., the 2026 edition is expected to leverage both regional expertise and global insights to meet the evolving needs of the continent’s energy ecosystem.

Organisers are inviting stakeholders to engage as sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, or delegates and to take advantage of bespoke participation packages designed to maximise visibility and impact.

As SAIPEC celebrates a decade of achievement, this milestone edition promises to be a pivotal gathering for those invested in shaping the future of energy in Africa.
