Alors que l’Afrique s’efforce de redéfinir ses intérêts économiques dans un monde de plus en plus marqué par une nouvelle ère de concurrence économique et de réalignement géopolitique, j’ai eu le grand honneur de rencontrer l’Honorable Laurent Wauquiez, parlementaire français,

À mesure que l’économie mondiale évolue dans un contexte de concurrence stratégique croissante, l’Afrique affirme un rôle plus actif dans la définition de son avenir économique. Dans ce contexte, la Côte d’Ivoire se distingue comme un exemple remarquable de

I am pleased to announce a collaboration agreement with the Society of Petroleum Engineers International Africa (SPE Africa), marking a significant step toward strengthening technical collaboration, knowledge transfer and innovation across Africa’s energy industry.

The agreement formalizes a strategic partnership between one of Africa’s leading energy advocacy organizations and a globally recognized technical authority with more than 127,000 members across 145 countries. Through the collaboration, SPE Africa will provide technical expertise, advisory support and industry insight to strengthen AEC’s growing portfolio of conferences, strategic initiatives and policy-driven engagements.

At a time when Africa is working to accelerate energy development, attract investment and navigate an increasingly complex global energy landscape, the partnership underscores the importance of technical excellence in delivering sustainable, bankable and efficiently executed energy projects across the continent.

The partnership further reflects a shared commitment to talent development and capacity building within Africa’s energy sector. By leveraging SPE Africa’s extensive student and young professional networks, the collaboration will expand opportunities for early-career engineers to engage with industry leaders, gain exposure to real-world technical challenges and support the advancement of STEM education across the continent. This focus on nurturing the next generation of engineers, especially women, is seen as critical to sustaining long-term growth, innovation and technical excellence in Africa’s energy industry.

"By bringing SPE Africa’s global technical expertise into closer alignment with the Chamber’s platforms and advocacy, we are ensuring that Africa is not only attracting investment, but also delivering projects that are efficient, competitive and built to last. This collaboration will strengthen the quality of technical dialogue across the industry while advancing capacity building and STEM development, creating space where innovation, practical solutions and meaningful collaboration can move the sector forward,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.

“SPE Africa is proud to partner with the African Energy Chamber to support the advancement of Africa’s energy sector through technical excellence and professional collaboration. By connecting our global expertise with AEC’s influential platforms, we are creating new opportunities to strengthen capacity, share knowledge and accelerate innovation,” said Dr. Riverson Oppong, PhD. , President of SPE Africa.

Our discussions with SNPC and Maixent Raoul Ominga reflect strong alignment on where Congo’s energy sector is heading and what it will take to get there. There is a clear commitment to grow production, accelerate gas development and attract investment. SNPC is not just focused on Congo – it is positioning itself to play a bigger role in shaping Africa’s energy future.

Discussions centered on SNPC’s expanding footprint across the upstream, midstream and downstream value chain, as well as a pipeline of projects the company is actively advancing. Particular emphasis was placed on gas and LNG development, with SNPC prioritizing the monetization of Congo’s significant gas resources as part of a long-term strategy to increase domestic utilization, boost exports and support industrial growth. We’re excited about the potential of a potential FLNG that could be a game-changing infrastructure for gas development in Africa.

A key priority raised during the meetings was the need to further enhance Congo’s enabling environment for exploration and production. Both parties emphasized the importance of maintaining investor-friendly policies, supporting new entrants into the market and ensuring regulatory frameworks continue to encourage long-term capital deployment.

At the same time, discussions extended beyond upstream activity to the broader role of energy in driving economic transformation. SNPC expressed its commitment to supporting downstream development, local content expansion and economic diversification, ensuring hydrocarbons contribute more directly to job creation, industrialization and improved energy access.

we shared far more than goals and results: we shared a common vision, bold ambitions, and above all, the pride of moving forward together.

These moments reminded us that behind every project, every success, and every challenge overcome, there is above all a committed, passionate

@nj_ayuk Thrilled to see Cameroon's confidence to move ahead too @nj_ayuk. What a dynamic O&G momentum we are currently witnessing across the continent. Opportunities are expanding, and the energy sector is buzzing with possibility to conquer energy poverty. #DrillAfricaDrill

Anything less is just empty rhetoric.

[Theodore Muluh @TheodoreMuluh]

The darkness that shrouds Africa seems not to gain the attention it drserves. The lack of electricity is more than just a lack of light; it's a humanitarian crisis that touches every facet of life, hospitals cannot operate, schools cannot operate, industries cannot operate...

[Theodore Muluh @TheodoreMuluh]

The clean energy narrative must be nuanced to account for Africa's unique challenges. It's time to acknowledge that energy poverty is the real enemy. Get Africans the electricity they deserve, and then we can talk about the type of energy that's best for their future.

[Theodore Muluh @TheodoreMuluh]

they don't even have a ride.

The priority should be getting people connected, providing them with a reliable source of electricity and clean cooking, then we can discuss the finer points of sustainability.

[Theodore Muluh @TheodoreMuluh]

The real issue is an electricity crisis, not the type of energy used.
Telling Africans to leapfrog to renewables without addressing the fundamental issue of electricity access and clean cooking is a double standard. It's like asking someone to choose between luxury cars when ...

[Theodore Muluh @TheodoreMuluh]

, and to preserve the very green heritage we're urged to protect.

Half of Africa's population lives in darkness, without access to reliable electricity, another billion cook with dirty means. In this context, the debate over dirty versus clean energy seems almost distant.

[Theodore Muluh @TheodoreMuluh]

The cry for electricity isn't about politics or profit; it's about people, it's about life and energy policy makers should understand this better. In this desperate situation, can we afford to be choosy about the source of our energy. We simply need the energy to live, to thrive
