GAS360, led by Emmanuel Uwando paid a courtesy visit to our team. Discussions focused on clean cooking solutions, expanding access to affordable energy, and the role of public and private sector collaboration in improving energy access for households across Nigeria.

We received a delegation from the Nigerian Institute of Petroleum and Gas Engineers (NIPetGE), led by its President, Engr. Prisca Kanebi, on a courtesy visit to our office. The engagement provided an opportunity for discussions on issues affecting the petroleum and gas sector, including capacity development, engineering excellence, industry collaboration, and the role of technical expertise in supporting Nigeria’s energy objectives. The delegation also shared updates on the Institute’s activities and strategic priorities for advancing professionalism within the industry.

We received the Schlumberger's team, led by Mr. ND Madeemezia- President, Europe and Africa and Mr. Jean Marc Kloss- Managing Director, West Africa, on a courtesy visit to our office. Our discussion focused on the tangible impact of the ongoing oil and gas reforms, the opportunities emerging across the sector, and the growing confidence of global industry players in Nigeria’s energy landscape. It was insightful to hear perspectives from the field on the progress being made and to exchange ideas on how we can continue to drive growth, and strengthen value of the sector’s contribution to national development.

In the oil and gas sector, the reforms we instituted have attracted billions of dollars in fresh investment from the international oil companies that had shunned our country. The $5 billion NLNG Train 7 project is nearing completion to boost LNG production capacity, exports, and dividends. Domestic gas utilisation is expanding. Local refining capacity has improved our energy security. With large-scale domestic and modular refineries operational, Nigeria is reducing its dependence on imported petroleum products and conserving foreign exchange. For years, the power sector suffered from debt, underinvestment, and uncertainty, which weakened generation capacity and limited growth. Today, we are confronting those challenges directly. Our administration is clearing legacy obligations, expanding transmission infrastructure, investing in renewable energy, and strengthening the national grid because no modern economy can grow in darkness. When power improves, businesses expand, industries grow, jobs are created, and families prosper. We are determined to power Nigeria into a new era of industrial growth and economic opportunity. EMPOWERING NIGERIANS: AGRICULTURE, EDUCATION, AND HOUSING Agricultural interventions have supported millions of farmers by improving seedlings, fertilisers, mechanisation, and irrigation and by expanding access to finance and markets. We are opening new agricultural corridors to create jobs, strengthen supply chains, and reduce pressure on household incomes. The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has provided over 1.5 million students with access to higher education, disbursing more than ₦282 billion to ensure that no willing student is denied access due to financial hardship. Our Renewed Hope Housing Programme, along with that of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), is delivering over 10,000 housing units across 14 states and the FCT, creating over 300,000 jobs and expanding access to affordable housing. Major Renewed Hope Cities in Abuja, Lagos, and Kano are progressing steadily. Our consumer credit initiative, CREDICORP, is opening up new economic opportunities for workers and families. In healthcare, thousands of primary healthcare centres are being revitalised, while health insurance coverage is expanding for vulnerable Nigerians. DEEPENING TELECOMS ACCESS AND INVESTMENT We also took decisive action to stabilise the telecommunications sector, which remains one of the most important drivers of modern economic growth. After years of severe operational pressures and declining investment, confidence is gradually returning to the sector. Telecom operators are expanding networks, investing in infrastructure, recruiting Nigerian talent, and widening digital access across the country. A connected Nigeria is a more competitive Nigeria. Digital infrastructure is now essential to commerce, education, innovation, and national productivity. YOUTH, TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION To our young people, I want you to know this nation believes in you. You are not a problem to be managed. You are the engine of Nigeria’s future. Across technology, manufacturing, creative industries, agriculture, sports, and entrepreneurship, we are expanding opportunities for you to compete and succeed. We are investing in digital skills, technical education, innovation, student financing, and enterprise support because the future must be driven by Nigerian talent, creativity, and productivity. SECURITY AND NATIONAL UNITY Security remains central to our national mission and to the creation of a virile and prosperous society. Our Armed Forces and security agencies have intensified operations against terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, oil thieves, and criminal networks. While challenges remain, many communities and highways are becoming safer and more economically active. We continue investing in intelligence, surveillance, logistics, technology, and inter-agency coordination.
