Nigeria’s government is committed to attracting oil and gas investments to spark industrial and economic growth.

This plan focuses on creating a welcoming environment for investors to meet national goals.

Key Energy Meeting

In Abuja, Olu Verheijen, the President’s Energy Adviser, met Tony Attah, head of Renaissance Energy.

Verheijen praised President Bola Tinubu’s reforms, noting Renaissance’s 40% oil production rise within 150 days of buying Shell’s onshore assets in 2025.

She expects more growth from new wells and drilling, stressing clear and investor-friendly policies.

Renaissance’s Success

Attah thanked the government for three executive orders that reshaped the energy sector.

“These changes boost private investment,” he said. Better workplace conditions have increased daily oil output.

For the first time in over five years, Renaissance and its partners met gas supply commitments to Nigeria LNG Limited, a major win.

Upstream Progress

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) secured $18.2 billion in 2025 Field Development Plans, showing strong investor confidence.

NUPRC’s Media Head, Eniola Akinkuotu, said 28 plans approved this year will yield 1.4 billion barrels of oil and 5.4 trillion cubic feet of gas.

This adds 591,000 barrels of oil and 2.1 billion cubic feet of gas daily, supporting Nigeria’s goal of over three million barrels per day.

Bright Future Ahead

These reforms highlight Nigeria’s path to energy security and regional leadership. Renaissance’s focus on energy transition aligns with national goals, promising lasting economic gains.
