Making Nigeria’s oil and gas sector more attractive to investors remains a major priority in our national transformation agenda. The sector stands at the center of our economic stability, and it also drives growth across several other industries. Therefore, every improvement we introduce carries long-term economic benefits for millions of people. It is encouraging to see our reforms yielding strong results across the entire energy value chain. The continued interest of global players confirms that our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and profitability is now producing real impact.
Recently, I received a high-level delegation from LUDOIL Energy and AMMAT Global Resources SAU. The delegation was led by their Chairmen, Mr. Donato Ammaturo and Mr. Luigi Ammaturo, who visited to express their strong interest in exploring new areas of cooperation. Their visit aligned with our broader vision to attract credible investors who are ready to contribute to national development through expertise, capital, and innovation. Their enthusiasm highlighted the renewed global confidence in Nigeria’s energy landscape.
These companies continue to maintain a growing international presence across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. They actively participate in several large-scale projects across multiple continents. Consequently, they understand the value of stable policies, clear regulations, and transparent operations. Nigeria now offers these conditions through stronger governance systems, improved fiscal frameworks, and simplified regulatory processes. They will find our reforms supportive of efficient operations and sustainable profitability.
I reassured them of Nigeria’s readiness to partner with investors who share our commitment to responsible development. Our country is open to companies that want to create value, respect local communities, and contribute meaningfully to national growth. Nigeria remains one of Africa’s most resource-rich nations, and our current reforms aim to unlock the full potential of these resources through modern technology, better accountability, and innovative partnerships.
Furthermore, I highlighted the importance of collaboration in driving long-term progress. No single nation can transform its energy sector without strong alliances. We must work closely with global partners, technology providers, and financial institutions. These relationships strengthen capacity, expand opportunities, and support knowledge exchange. They also help us create a more resilient and future-ready energy system.
In addition, I emphasized that Nigeria now prioritizes sustainability, efficiency, and fairness. Our government seeks investors who understand the value of environmental responsibility and community engagement. We want partners who will support clean energy solutions, reduce emissions, and empower local workers. Our doors remain open to collaborations that bring innovation, growth, and sustainable development to every region.
Nigeria’s energy future looks brighter with every new partnership. Our reforms continue to build trust, restore confidence, and attract investors who believe in our long-term potential. We remain focused on building an energy sector defined by transparency, resilience, and shared prosperity. Through these strategic alliances, Nigeria will strengthen its role as a leading energy hub in Africa and beyond.
