Indigenous Oil & Gas Summit to Spotlight Leading Women in Nigeria’s Energy Sector.
The Indigenous Oil & Gas Investors Summit, slated for July 23–24, 2025, at the Bickley Park Waterfront Hotel in Lekki, Lagos, will spotlight two of Nigeria’s most influential women in the oil and gas industry as special guest speakers.
Chief (Mrs.) Uju Ifejika, Chairperson and CEO of Brittania-U Nigeria Limited, and Mrs. Winifred Akpani, Managing Director of Northwest Petroleum & Gas Company Limited, will headline a key session titled “The Challenges and Triumphs of Women in the Oil and Gas Sector.”
Themed “Local Vision, Global Impact: The Future of Oil and Gas Investment in Nigeria,” the summit will emphasize the essential role women play in fostering innovation, resilience, and indigenous progress within the nation’s energy industry.
The involvement of Chief Ifejika and Mrs. Akpani will highlight the growing impact of women in the sector and offer critical perspectives on the barriers they have overcome, as well as the opportunities that lie ahead.
Summit Coordinator Wenefred Odunze described both women as pioneers who have defied the odds in a male-dominated field, building remarkable legacies that continue to inspire a new generation of energy professionals.
“Their participation will deepen the summit’s discussions on inclusive growth, local content development, and the future of indigenous investment in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry,” Odunze said.
Media partners, industry stakeholders, and prospective attendees are encouraged to register early, as a high level of participation is anticipated.
The summit will serve as a strategic platform for dialogue among industry leaders, policymakers, and investors to shape the future of oil and gas investment in Nigeria and explore new avenues for sustainable growth and sectoral advancement.
