Shell Nigeria official calls for energy reforms and investment

Ronald Adams, Managing Director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company of Nigeria Limited (SNEPCo), has emphasized that Nigeria must maintain reform momentum, accelerate investment, and strengthen partnerships to secure its energy future.

Speaking at the Lagos Business School Africa Energy Conference, Adams highlighted that while Nigeria possesses vast oil and gas resources, prosperity depends on matching those resources with technology, sound policy, and disciplined execution. He called for regulatory certainty and cooperation between operators, regulators, NNPC Limited, and local communities to unlock the nation's full resource value.

Adams noted that global competition for capital and technology is intensifying, urging Nigeria to improve its competitiveness to attract future investment. He reaffirmed Shell's long-term commitment to the country, citing the Bonga deepwater project and the ongoing Bonga North development as examples of successful technological and collaborative energy infrastructure.
