SVP - HEAD OF REGION MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA, MAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS
"We continue to be a leading supplier of smaller and decentralized power plants across Africa, which use our environmentally friendly dual-fuel engines fired by gas and our carbon reduction emission systems."
"The ultimate goal of all our efforts at Workforce Group and Workforce Foundation is to position Africa as the home of some of the world's biggest businesses."
"The provision of petrol has always been a social issue for Nigeria, and the government did what is now looking like a double whammy – removing fuel subsidies and floating the Naira at the same time."
DIRECTOR GENERAL, PETROLEUM DIRECTORATE OF SIERRA LEONE (PDSL)
"The biggest bottleneck for us currently is the energy transition conversation, which hinders companies from investing in frontier nations like Sierra Leone."
"Since we acquired Accugas in late 2017, the volumes of gas transported, the number of significant customers served, and our contribution to thermal power generation in Nigeria have each more than doubled."
"Navigating Nigeria's economic and political landscape requires a nuanced understanding of the interplay between policy decisions, societal pressures, and external factors."
"The government's declaration of a Decade of Gas and Nigeria's emphasis on its status as a gas country has heightened demand for our services, particularly in gas-to-power and gas compression initiatives."
MANAGING PARTNER (TA), PARTNER (IA) AND PARTNER (JU), DENTONS ACAS-LAW
"The flexibility inherent in the PIA was initially intended to facilitate a smooth transition; however, it has also introduced uncertainties regarding regulatory compliance and operational frameworks."
MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide
It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
