Gas Investment Forum 2026 to Boost Nigeria's Gas Economy

The Gas Investment Forum 2026 is set to bring together government leaders, regulators, investors, financiers, energy companies, project developers, technology providers, and industry professionals for a two-day event focused on Nigeria's gas economy. The theme, “Positioning Nigeria as Africa’s Global Gas Powerhouse,” reflects Nigeria's ambition to leverage its substantial natural gas resources, which stood at 215.19 trillion cubic feet as of January 1, 2026, to drive production, infrastructure development, and economic growth.

Organized in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Decade of Gas Initiative, and the Nigerian Gas Association, the forum aims to address policies, projects, and financing structures necessary for advancing Nigeria's gas agenda. Key goals include increasing national gas production to 10 billion cubic feet per day by 2027 and catalyzing over $60 billion in new investments by 2030.

Osaze Isesele, Director of Events, emphasized the need for collaboration among stakeholders to convert gas resources into viable projects.
