Additionally, the Keynote Address will be presented by Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), on “Maximizing Africa’s Hydrocarbon Resources for Sustainable Revenue Growth.”

A high-level panel discussion, focusing on “Turning Resources into Revenue,” will bring together industry giants to deliberate on strategic pathways for optimizing Africa’s hydrocarbon assets with Mr. Mansur Mohammed, Head of West Africa Upstream Content, Sub-Saharan Africa Oil & Gas, Wood Mackenzie as the session host.
