Seplat Energy Plc, said its commitment to the federal government’s decade of Gas position remains firm and unwavering.
The energy company said it will continue to develop Nigeria’s gas resources to accelerate the replacement of diesel and biomass and support economic growth through the supply of reliable, low cost energy.
Seplat Energy drove these narratives at the sixth edition of the Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES) held in Abuja from April 16 to 20, 2023.
The NIES 2023 was not only a remarkable outing for Seplat Energy as the company also picked up two major awards bordering on its positions as a Nigerian Domestic Gas Ambassador in its support to the Nigerian Gas Association and for its outstanding commitment to Nigeria’s Decade of Gas mantra.
New Energy director at Seplat Energy, Mr. Effiong Okon, who represented Chief executive office, Seplat Energy, Mr. Roger Brown, said at the continental level, Africa needs access to energy as five-fold increase in investment is required to reach United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7 by 2030.
According to him, by 2030, 50 per cent of the global population without access to electricity will be concentrated in seven countries, of which Nigeria is inclusive.
