Nigeria has set ambitious oil production targets of 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2025, with a further target of 2.7 million bpd by 2027. The discussions will address the critical challenges facing the oil sector while exploring opportunities for innovation, investment, and local industry leadership. The forum will focus on the increasing role of Nigerian Independent Companies (NICs) as they take over assets from International Oil Companies (IOCs), a key topic in the sector’s future growth.

The event will commence with a cocktail reception at 5:30 PM, followed by the panel discussion at 6:00 PM. It will conclude with an exclusive networking dinner. The forum will also be livestreamed by Arise News and TVC, ensuring that these important conversations reach a global audience.
