NORS 2026 to Boost Nigeria's Oil Refining Self-Sufficiency

The Nigerian Oil Refining Summit (NORS) 2026 is set to take place on September 28-29, 2026, at Eko Hotel, marking its third edition. The summit aims to solidify Nigeria's position as a leading platform for discussions on refining capacity expansion and downstream integration, positioning the country as an emerging energy hub in Africa.

Momoh Jimah Oyarekhua, Chairman of the organizing committee, emphasized the theme of refining value links between upstream supply and downstream demand. The summit will gather policymakers, regulators, global commodity traders, and investors to address Nigeria's evolving energy landscape and ensure seamless coordination across the petroleum value chain.

Key topics include securing crude feedstock supply, optimizing refining capacity, and strengthening midstream infrastructure. The event will feature high-level keynote addresses, policy dialogues, and technical sessions, with opportunities for participants to engage directly with industry leaders.

Kunle Odusola Stevenson, Chief Strategist at Legend Legacy Group, noted that NORS 2026 represents a critical convening point for stakeholders to shape the future of Nigeria's energy landscape.
