 Nigeria to sign FIDs on two deepwater projects mid-2025, says Presidency


Nigeria will sign Final Investment Decisions (FID) on two deepwater exploration projects by mid-2025. This was revealed by the Special Adviser on Energy to President Bola Tinubu, Olu Verheijen in her address at the African Energy Week in Cape Town, South Africa.


While speaking at the conference themed; “The Future of Energy: Shaping the Workforce of Tomorrow”, Verheijen said Nigeria so far, has been able to unlock over $1 billion in investments across the value chain, and by the middle of 2025, FIDs on two more projects will be signed, including a multibillion billion-dollar deepwater exploration project.


According to her, the projects will be “the first of its kind in Nigeria in over a decade – one of many to come”. “We see the abundant opportunities that lie ahead. We see a Nigeria that is a leading global producer and exporter of energy – whether it is fossil fuels or renewables. “We are not held back by the outdated approaches and assumptions of the past. We are open, daring, and eager to leave a legacy that will stand the test of time,” she added.


She outlined some of what her team at the presidency has been able to achieve within the last 12 months including; clarifying the regulatory roles to create an enabling environment for investments, introducing reforms targeted at reducing high operational costs and project execution timelines, and introducing a clear set of fiscal incentives for Non-Associated Gas and Deep offshore Oil & Gas gas exploration and production. She also said her team is working on building the foundation with an unprecedented sense of urgency, to completely rewrite the narrative of oil and gas investment in Nigeria, since the passing of the Petroleum Industry Act into law in 2021 after twenty years.


According to her, the way to shape tomorrow’s African energy workforce is to look beyond the traditional places and welcome a new crop of talent, especially women and young people who possess a global perspective, reach and understand the context of the 21st century, and are equipped with the fresh perspectives, bold energy to design and implement radical new solutions to lingering problems.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
