Nigeria rejoining World Energy Council

Overview

Nigeria has officially rejoined the World Energy Council (WEC) as a Member Committee after more than sixty years. The governing board of the new Nigerian Member Committee was inaugurated in Abuja on August 7, led by Chairman Abdulrazaq Isa. The committee comprises professionals from academia, policy, and the private energy sector, including Oando PLC’s Ainojie Alex Irune.

In tandem with these organizational developments, there is a continued focus on sector-wide reforms in Nigeria. This includes efforts to advance gender inclusion within the maritime and energy sectors, with calls for policies that support diversity in licensing, workforce participation, and financing for women-led enterprises.
