Lokpobiri, Adelabu, Ogah, others set for NAEC 2025 Energy Talks
Big names in Nigeria’s energy sector are set to storm Lagos on October 9 for the 2025 Annual Energy Conference of the Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria (NAEC).
With the theme “Nigeria’s Energy Future: Exploring Opportunities and Addressing Risks for Sustainable Growth,” the event promises hard-hitting conversations on oil, gas, power, and energy transition.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil)
- Ekperikpe Ekpo, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas)
- Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power
- Gbenga Komolafe, NUPRC Chief Executive
- Farouk Ahmed, NMDPRA Chief Executive
- Bashir Bayo Ojulari, GCEO, NNPC Ltd.
The conference will be chaired by Uche Ogah, President of Masters Energy Group, and will feature keynote addresses, goodwill messages, and panel sessions across upstream, midstream, downstream, and power.
A major highlight is the revamped NAEC Industry Awards, now designed to spotlight accountability and inclusivity, while celebrating excellence in Nigeria’s energy space.
Why this matters for Naija:
Nigeria’s economy runs on oil and gas, but the future lies in how we balance energy security, power reforms, and the global shift to renewables. This conference brings the decision-makers to the same table — a chance to shape whether Nigeria stays a resource-dependent giant or transforms into a true energy powerhouse.
