Heirs Energies Champions Energy Security and Innovation Across Africa

Heirs Energies, Africa’s leading indigenous-owned integrated energy company, has reinforced its commitment to energy sufficiency and innovation on the continent with active participation at two major industry gatherings: the U.S.–Africa Energy Forum in Houston, Texas, and the Namibia International Oil & Gas Conference 2025.

At the U.S.–Africa Energy Forum, Heirs Energies’ CEO, Osa Igiehon, joined global energy leaders and policymakers to discuss the future of Africa–U.S. energy partnerships. He stressed that Africa must chart its own energy future by leveraging both hydrocarbons and renewable resources, noting that Heirs Energies is dedicated to achieving energy sufficiency for millions while embedding sustainability, innovation, and capacity building into its operations.

The company then extended its strategic engagement to Namibia, one of Africa’s most promising frontier markets for oil and gas. During a high-profile panel session, Igiehon shared insights on building responsible and inclusive energy industries. He affirmed that Heirs Energies’ involvement in Namibia marks the start of a long-term commitment to contribute meaningfully to the country’s energy development.

These international engagements reflect Heirs Energies’ pan-African outlook and its guiding philosophy of Africapitalism, pioneered by Founder and Group Chairman, Tony O. Elumelu, CFR. This philosophy underscores the role of the private sector in driving Africa’s transformation by investing in industries that generate both economic returns and social impact.

With a strong focus on innovation, environmental responsibility, and community development, Heirs Energies continues to lead in Africa’s evolving energy landscape, positioning itself not just as a Nigerian operator but as a true pan-African player committed to sustainable prosperity.
