Shell and Nigerian Energy Leaders Call for Investment and Execution to Unlock Resources

At the Africa Energy Conference held by the Lagos Business School, a prominent speaker emphasized the need for regulatory certainty through efficient reform execution, sustained investment appeal to accelerate project progression from opportunity to production, and collaborative partnerships between operators, regulators, NNPC Limited, and communities to maximize Nigeria’s resource value.
Adams stated that prosperity hinges on aligning resources with investment, technology, sound policy, and disciplined execution. He further noted that success depends not on the scale of resources but on the capacity to transform them into economic growth through strategic actions.
Shell reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to Nigeria’s energy sector, pledging ongoing support for a brighter energy future for Nigerians. Adams highlighted Shell’s six-decade presence in Nigeria’s energy landscape as a foundation for continued partnership.
