At the International Energy Week 2026, held in London from February 10–12, NNPC Ltd’s Chief Financial Officer, Adedapo Segun, joined a distinguished panel to discuss Africa’s energy future.
In his submission, Segun emphasized the urgent need for African countries to prioritize energy access for citizens, while leveraging green financing initiatives to achieve this goal. He noted that energy policies must reflect Africa’s realities, especially given the continent’s limited contribution to global emissions.
Highlighting regional collaboration, he pointed to the African-Atlantic Gas Pipeline Project as a strategic initiative to unite African nations in pursuit of energy access and security. He explained that developing infrastructure to monetize Nigeria’s over 200 trillion scf would not only enhance energy supply but also provide a sustainable solution to Nigeria’s revenue challenges.
The International Energy Week (IEW) is a premier global energy leadership platform that convenes policymakers, industry executives, investors, regulators, technology innovators, and thought leaders to shape dialogue on the future of energy security, transition pathways, capital formation, and sustainability.
