Nigeria’s Petroleum Ministry Announce Dates
For NIES 2023
Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of
Petroleum Resources has unveiled
plans for the 6th edition of the
Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES
2023). The official Oil and Gas meeting of
the Federal Republic will take place in Abuja
from April 16th to 20th, 2023.
The speed of change projected in the fossil
fuels segment as the world pursues the
energy transition agenda gave rise to the
theme of NIES 2023, which is; “Global
Perspectives for a Sustainable Energy
Future”.
“NIES 2023 will put on the front burner
overarching global energy trends and
perspectives so that policymakers and
other players in the sector can more easily
understand the latest developments and
the best roadmap to drive the energy
transition”, says Mr. James Shindi,
Managing Director of Brevity Anderson, the
event producer.
In an online media broadcast, Chief Timipre
Sylva, Honourable Minister of State for
Petroleum Resources, said “NIES 2023 is
primed to be a show stopper as it will be the
valedictory edition of this administration”.
“The event will provide the platform for the
administration to present its scorecard in
the energy sector and also provide the
opportunity to offer a roadmap for the next
administration. It is, therefore, an epoch
and a must-attend event for all the
stakeholders in the industry”, Sylva added.
As a tradition, NIES 2023 will feature the
highest level of attendance by top decisionmakers,
industry leaders, and all
stakeholders from both the public and
private sectors across Africa and the global
energy community. There will be a special
dinner and other networking events with
attendee ministers from other oilproducing
countries and heads of a
government delegation from other
countries.
With the full backing of the Federal
Government of Nigeria, NIES has over the
years witnessed the highest level of
attendance by top decision-makers,
industry leaders, and all stakeholders from
both the public and private sectors.
“N.I.E.S has grown from year to year and
remains the definitive platform, not just for
Nigeria, but also for Africa to engage the
global energy community”, Shindi said.
N.I.E.S is a federal government of Nigeria
official energy industry event with the
Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources
and all its parastatals including the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),
Nigerian Content Development and
Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Nigerian
