Energy: Practical Nigerian content to drive high-level deal-making

By Emeka Anaeto, Business Editor

As global markets evolve and energy producers seek resilient, localised supply chains, Nigeria’s growing local content capacity has continued to position it as a model for sustainable growth across the continent.

Building on the advancements in the sector, the 14th edition of the Practical Nigerian Content (PNC) Forum, themed “Securing Investments, Strengthening Local Content, and Scaling Energy Production”, taking place from 1–4 December 2025 in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria, is attracting more stakeholders’ commitments.

Commenting on Ikosh Nigeria Limited’s participation at this year’s Forum, Oluwamuyiwa Kosile, Managing Director of Ikosh Nigeria Limited, said, “We remain committed to advancing Nigeria’s local content journey by supporting initiatives that strengthen indigenous capacity, drive innovation, and foster sustainable growth within the oil and gas industry.

‘‘Our partnership with the Practical Nigerian Content Forum underscores our belief in collaboration as the foundation for developing a self-reliant and globally competitive energy industry.”

The Forum will convene regional policymakers, global investors, regulators, and indigenous operators to explore, as a follow-up to the Nigeria First Policy above, strategies to replicate local content implementation and capacity development across sectors.

With key discussions centred on securing investment, strengthening local content, and scaling energy production, delegates will explore how to unlock and mobilise financing for indigenous businesses, expand supplier development, and accelerate technology transfer.
