Good Governance Africa (GGA), a prominent research and advocacy group, will host a high-level policy dialogue in Lagos on April 17, focusing on investor sentiment around Nigeria’s oil and gas regulatory reforms.
Central to the event is the launch of a new survey titled “Investor Perceptions of Nigeria’s Regulatory and Policy Reforms in the Oil and Gas Sector.”
The study assesses how recent initiatives including the Petroleum Industry Act and executive orders on fiscal incentives, local content, and regulatory streamlining are being received by industry stakeholders.
Dr. Ola Bello, Executive Director of GGA-Nigeria, highlighted that while the Tinubu administration has made significant progress in energy sector reform, the survey seeks to gauge how investors perceive the credibility and long-term prospects of these efforts.
“At GGA, we’re committed to fostering economic growth and empowering citizens,” Dr. Bello said. “By facilitating dialogue among investors, regulators, and key stakeholders, we aim to uncover barriers to investment and strengthen governance in the oil and gas sector.”
He also underscored GGA’s wider mission to promote transparency, not just in public institutions, but within corporate governance especially in an evolving global economy.
The event will feature expert insights from Dr. Ogho Okiti (Africa Business Convention), Dr. Abimbola Agboluaje (WNT Capitas Advisory Services), Toyin Akinosho (Africa Oil and Gas Report), Dr. Ayodele Oni (Bloomfield LP), and Dr. Bello himself.
Panel discussions will explore the survey’s findings, reform opportunities, and strategic pathways for transforming Nigeria’s hydrocarbon industry emphasizing actionable, short-term gains through improved policy coherence.
