"Attracting international capital to Nigerian energy isn't about convincing investors - they already know the potential is there. It's about demonstrating bankability: enforceable contracts, creditworthy offtakers, and properly mitigated currency risk. I'll be discussing how conditions are shifting, which financial structures are gaining traction, and the specific improvements that could unlock significantly more capital for Nigerian energy at scale."

Rolake Akinkugbe-Filani
Managing Director/CEO, EnergyInc Advisors

“Pilot projects attract grants; commercial scale requires business models that work. I'll discuss how to build sustainable distributed energy systems: customer acquisition strategies, tariff structures that cover costs, operational efficiency, and financing beyond perpetual subsidies. Scaling mini-grids means solving the economics. I'll share what commercial viability actually requires.”

Daniel Komolafe
CEO, First Electric

“The shift in gas asset ownership from international to indigenous operators is transforming Nigeria's energy landscape. I'll discuss implications for power generation: Will supply become more reliable or fragmented? How will pricing evolve? What infrastructure investments are needed? From AYM Shafa's experience in gas and power, at the Nigeria Energy Leadership Summit, I'll share what this transition means practically for generators and the grid.”

Executive Director Gas, Power and Renewable Energy, A.Y.M. Shafa Holdings Limited

"In my extensive career as a mechanical engineer, I have attended numerous online conferences, seminars, and events, but none have been as enlightening and impactful as Nigeria Energy. The event was a masterclass in innovation, policy discourse, and sustainable development, all set against the backdrop of Nigeria's unique energy landscape."

TMr. Erivona Oyoma, Founder, Oyma Educational Services

"The Nigeria Energy Leadership summit was one I cannot forget in my life time. It has broadened my perspective in the power sector and the need to delve into more research has emerged as a fallout of the event."
