Nigeria will take centre stage at this year’s Gastech Exhibition and Conference in Milan, leading a delegation of seven African nations at the global gas industry’s flagship summit from 9–12 September.
The event, which brings together ministers, policymakers, and industry leaders from more than 140 countries, will focus on building solutions to pressing energy challenges and advancing decarbonisation goals.
Nigeria’s delegation will present its agenda around four priority areas: natural gas and LNG, artificial intelligence-driven energy solutions, climate technologies, and hydrogen. Senior officials, including Gas Minister Ekperikpe Ekpo and Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu, will be joined by executives from the Nigerian Midstream & Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority and Nigeria LNG (NLNG).
NLNG Managing Director Philip Mshelbila will feature in a panel on methane reduction, while other company leaders will participate in discussions on AI applications, workforce development, and leadership in the future energy transition.
Organisers say the summit offers Nigeria the chance to deepen international partnerships, showcase its energy innovations, and reinforce its ambition to be a leading force in Africa’s low-carbon energy transformation.
