NEF 2026 and Nigeria’s Industrial Growth Agenda
The
Nigeria Energy Forum (NEF) 2026 marks its 11th edition with a bold focus on
industrial growth and value addition, reflecting the nation’s intensified drive
to diversify its economy and strengthen local industries.
Scheduled
for June 30 in Ikeja, Lagos, the forum is set to convene leading voices from
energy, manufacturing, mining, finance, infrastructure, and policy sectors,
positioning itself as a catalyst for Nigeria’s industrial transformation.
Dr. Daniel
Adeuyi, Chairman of NEF, emphasized that this year’s gathering aims to move
beyond discussions into actionable partnerships that can accelerate industrial
transformation.
The theme, “Upscaling Value Addition for Sustainable Industrialisation,” underscores the forum’s commitment to practical solutions that enhance energy reliability, expand domestic manufacturing capacity, strengthen mineral development, and create sustainable jobs.
The forum
promises a strong lineup of decision-makers and stakeholders. Confirmed keynote
speakers include executives from All On, GEF-SGP UNDP Nigeria, NISO, Hinckley
Africa, UNIDO, MTN, Odu’a Investment Company Limited, and the Nigeria Mining
Cadastral Office. In addition, senior representatives from Kobold Metals, Greenage
Technologies, NASENI, NCDMB, NRGI, Heifer International, African Climate
Foundation, and NASCON Allied will contribute to discussions, ensuring a broad
spectrum of expertise and perspectives.
Beyond
industrial policy and energy solutions, NEF 2026 will also highlight innovation
and youth engagement. Dr. Bamise Olanrewaju, Strategy and Innovation Co-Chair,
announced that the fourth edition of the tertiary institutions students’ energy
pitch contest will take place during the forum. Powered by All On, this contest
commemorates the firm’s 10th anniversary and reflects the forum’s dedication to
nurturing the next generation of innovators in Nigeria’s energy sector.
NEF 2026 is not just a conference but a strategic platform designed to align Nigeria’s energy agenda with industrial growth. By fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders, the forum seeks to unlock greater value from natural resources, drive sustainable industrialisation, and secure Nigeria’s place in the global industrial landscape.
