The 22nd edition of the annual NOG Energy Week is scheduled to take place from 9th – 13th July 2023 at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja FCT, Nigeria. This year’s theme, “Powering Nigeria’s Sustainable Energy Future”, is in line with the global commitment to address climate change and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
The urgent need to address Nigeria’s energy challenges is evident, considering its population of over 200 million people and a growing economy. The forthcoming conference will place emphasis on the shift towards sustainable gas and new energy solutions, bringing together policy makers, regulators, and private sector leaders from the international oil, gas, LNG, and energy sector in Nigeria.
