DAKAR, Senegal, October 17, 2025 — The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has announced that its Executive Chairman, NJ Ayuk, will participate in the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference, the premier event driving energy dialogue, investment, and policy collaboration in West Africa.
Set to take place in Dakar, the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference brings together policymakers, investors, and energy executives to explore strategies for expanding exploration, developing infrastructure, and ensuring energy security in the MSGBC Basin — encompassing Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Conakry.
As one of Africa’s most prominent advocates for market-driven energy development, NJ Ayuk continues to champion policies that enhance local participation, attract foreign investment, and create jobs through sustainable energy initiatives.
His leadership at the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference underscores the AEC’s ongoing mission to translate Africa’s abundant energy resources into inclusive economic growth and industrial development.
“The MSGBC region shows how clear policy, collaboration, and investor confidence can unlock remarkable energy potential,” said Sandra Jeque, Project Director at Energy Capital & Power.
“The AEC, under NJ Ayuk’s leadership, has been instrumental in advocating for African-led energy development — a goal that perfectly aligns with the vision of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference.
His participation highlights the importance of regional collaboration and reform as the basin enters a new era of growth and opportunity.”
- The MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference will host an array of sessions covering key themes such as:
- Regional energy integration and cross-border collaboration
- Private sector participation and financing in oil and gas
- The role of natural gas in Africa’s energy transition
- Infrastructure development and renewable energy innovation
Through these discussions, the event aims to strengthen partnerships and position the MSGBC Basin as a major hub for sustainable energy production and export.
The basin has gained international attention following landmark developments including bp’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project, Woodside’s Sangomar oilfield, and ongoing exploration by Kosmos Energy and Petrosen.
The region’s gas reserves continue to present significant opportunities for power generation and industrial growth.
With total investment potential exceeding several billion dollars, the MSGBC Basin represents one of Africa’s most dynamic hydrocarbon frontiers, capable of contributing to both local economic empowerment and the continent’s broader energy transition goals.
NJ Ayuk’s involvement in the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference reflects the AEC’s continued commitment to ensuring African countries derive maximum benefit from their natural resources.
By promoting inclusive dialogue and fair regulatory frameworks, the Chamber supports the creation of strong local supply chains and opportunities for African entrepreneurs in the energy space.
Participants at the conference will gain valuable insights into emerging investment opportunities, energy policy frameworks, and technology partnerships driving the sector’s transformation.
The event also provides a vital networking platform for government officials, financiers, and industry leaders to chart a shared path toward energy self-sufficiency in the region.
