…Sets event for October 7-8 in Lagos
Gas Investment Forum (GIF) 2025, Nigeria’s premier platform for driving transformative investment and collaboration in the gas sector, has received official endorsement and support from the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.
In a letter signed by Mrs. Ruth Audu Nunghe, Director (Gas), Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the government reaffirmed its commitment to leveraging GIF 2025 as a strategic platform to engage with stakeholders, attract investments, and highlight ongoing initiatives in the gas sector.
“The Ministry of Petroleum Resources is committed to leveraging this platform to engage with stakeholders, attract investments, and highlight Nigeria’s ongoing initiatives, including the Decade of Gas Initiative, Gas Expansion Programme, the National Hydrogen Initiative, and other programs aimed at fostering gas-based industrialization and revenue diversification,” the letter read.
She stated thus:
“We look forward to contributing to discussions, exploring partnerships, and collaborating with industry leaders to position Nigeria as a global hub for gas investments.”
According to the recently released GECF Global Gas Outlook 2050, natural gas will play a pivotal role in Africa’s energy security, with Nigeria expected to lead Sub-Saharan Africa’s gas demand growth. The region is projected to drive nearly 92% of Africa’s overall natural gas demand growth through 2050, highlighting the transformative role of gas in addressing energy and development challenges.
Nigeria alone is forecasted to add more than 75 bcm of gas between 2023 and 2050, largely driven by increased gas-fired power generation, industrial growth, and the expansion of petrochemical and fertilizer production facilities.
The expansion of Nigeria’s gas pipeline network, including major projects like the Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) and Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipelines, is recognized as crucial for ensuring a more reliable gas supply to industrial hubs and power plants across the nation. This will further solidify
Nigeria’s standing as a key supplier of natural gas to global markets. Additionally, Nigeria is strategically exploring new frontiers in LNG, with its first Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) project expected by late 2026. This milestone represents a pivotal step in monetizing its vast offshore gas resources and could pave the way for future projects that will significantly boost the country’s LNG export capabilities.
Taking place from October 7-8, 2025, in Lagos, Gas Investment Forum 2025 will convene over 1,000 industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and energy stakeholders from across Nigeria and beyond. The Forum’s mission is to catalyze investment across the entire gas value chain—upstream, midstream, and downstream—while accelerating Nigeria’s emergence as a global gas powerhouse.
With major gas infrastructure projects underway and the drive for cleaner energy solutions gaining momentum, Gas Investment Forum 2025 will serve as a springboard for new partnerships, investment deals, and policy innovations that will shape the future of Nigeria’s gas sector.
Gas Investment Forum stands as West Africa’s premier energy investment conference, uniting investors, project operators, financiers, technology providers, and government leaders to drive regional growth and industrialization.
