Ministers, regulators, and leading industry executives will converge in Lagos on October 9, 2025, for the Annual NAEC Energy Conference, a policy and investment forum designed to address Nigeria’s evolving energy landscape.
Organised by the Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria (NAEC), this year’s theme is “Nigeria’s Energy Future: Exploring Opportunities and Addressing Risks for Sustainable Growth.”

The conference will provide a platform for dialogue on investment, regulation, and reforms across the energy value chain. Three panel sessions will dissect upstream growth, midstream and downstream infrastructure development, and power sector reforms focusing on strategies to attract capital, drive local content, and ensure sustainability.
Dr. Uche Ogah, President of Masters Energy Group, will chair the conference, while the maiden NAEC Industry Awards will also be unveiled to recognise excellence in the sector.
