NSE President Champions Engineering Leadership at Africa Gas Innovation Summit 2025 …Calls for Innovation, Urgency, and Cross-Sector Collaboration in Africa’s Gas Economy
Africa’s vast natural gas reserves are a vital transition fuel with the potential to drive industrialization, regional integration, and inclusive development, according to Engr. Margaret Aina Oguntala, FNSE, President of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE).
Oguntala made this known in her keynote goodwill message at the Africa Gas Innovation Summit (AGIS) 2025, where she served as Special Guest of Honour. Speaking on the summit theme—“Building a Resilient Africa Gas Economy through Innovation and Collaboration”—she urged African stakeholders to harness gas resources for sustainable and transformative progress.
The summit, organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Nigeria Council, brought together policymakers, industry leaders, development partners, and engineering professionals from across the continent. The NSE President commended the organizers for their dedication to advancing meaningful dialogue on energy innovation and for positioning Africa to play a leading role in the global energy transition.
Reaffirming the NSE’s position, she emphasized the Society’s commitment to home-grown innovation, cross-sector collaboration, and sustainable engineering practices. She praised AGIS 2025’s strategic agenda—boosting domestic gas utilization, accelerating regulatory reforms, encouraging ESG alignment, and promoting practical financing mechanisms—describing them as engineering challenges that must be addressed through inclusive, ethical, and scalable solutions.
The President called on governments, academia, industry, and civil society to unite beyond silos and titles, and to act with urgency and shared purpose. “Africa’s energy future depends not only on innovation but on collaboration with intention and action with urgency,” she stated, as the summit continues to explore how gas can serve as a catalyst for Africa’s long-term energy security and economic growth.
