Indigenous Oil & Gas Players to Convene at 6th Edition of Nigeria Oil & Gas Outlook in Lagos
Closing production gap, local content, $60 Billion Gas ambition to headline conversations at 6th Nigeria Oil & Gas Outlook
Eventhive, Africa’s leading B2B event servicing company with a strong portfolio across key sectors and six major cities, has announced the sixth edition of the Nigeria Oil & Gas Outlook (NOGO), the premier convening for industry leaders, policymakers, regulators, financiers, and innovators shaping Nigeria’s petroleum sector.
Positioned as Nigeria’s foremost platform for high-stakes conversation on the forces restructuring one of Africa’s most consequential industries, NOGO 2026 will bring together government, indigenous energy champions, global operators, financiers, and service providers to examine the sector’s defining question with precision and to build the alliances needed to answer it.
The 2026 edition will be held on Wednesday, August 27, 2026, at the Civic Center, Victoria Island, Lagos, under the theme, “Promise to Performance: Nigeria’s Oil & Gas Inflection Point.”
Nigeria’s oil and gas sector has undergone a structural transformation over the past five years, and NOGO 2026 arrives at the moment when that transformation must be tested against actual output. The conference will hold the reform agenda to account across five critical conversations, interrogating whether indigenous operators are producing at scale, diagnosing the governance and infrastructure gaps behind Nigeria’s persistent production shortfall, examining the execution challenge behind the $60 billion Gas Master Plan, assessing the downstream economy taking shape around domestic refining, and exploring offshore as the sector’s next growth engine in an ESG-constrained world
Speaking on the 2026 edition, Jamiu Ijaodola, CEO of Eventhive, said: “NOGO 2026 is designed to move the conversation from what has changed to what those changes must now produce. We are bringing together the operators, financiers, policymakers, and service providers who will determine whether this moment becomes a turning point.”
