Mr. Akachukwu Nwokedi, President of the Nigerian Gas Association (NGA), has been appointed Regional Coordinator for Africa by the International Gas Union (IGU) to oversee its activities and initiatives across the continent.

He succeeds Engr. Khaled Abubakr of Egypt, who previously served as the IGU’s Regional Coordinator for Africa and the Middle East until his recent election as Vice-President of the IGU for the 2028–2031 term.

The announcement was made at the recently concluded World Gas Conference (WGC) in Beijing, China, in a statement obtained by Advisors Reports on Monday.

According to IGU, Mr. Nwokedi was recognised for his contributions to the advancement of gas as a catalyst for energy security across the continent while reaffirming Nigeria’s leadership position in Africa’s gas industry.

In this strategic role, Mr. Nwokedi will be the principal link between the IGU and African member nations, ensuring that African perspectives are effectively represented in global gas policy discussions.

His responsibilities will include advocating for policies that support natural gas development across the continent, facilitating knowledge transfer among industry stakeholders, coordinating regional events to promote collaboration, and providing critical analysis of regional developments to inform IGU’s global strategies.

Commenting on his, Nwokedi stated that the appointment represents both an honour and a profound responsibility.

He said, “It acknowledges Nigeria’s leadership in Africa’s gas sector while providing an important platform to advocate for sustainable energy solutions that will drive economic development across our continent.

“I look forward to strengthening collaboration between African nations and the global gas community.”

Advisors Reports gathered that the Regional Coordinator Africa position is vital for the expansion of access to energy through gas infrastructure development, the promotion of sustainable energy practices, and the enhancement of regional cooperation in Africa’s rapidly evolving gas sector.

Mr. Nwokedi’s appointment, therefore, underscores Nigeria’s central role in shaping Africa’s energy future and provides new opportunities to elevate the continent’s voice in international energy discussions.

He further assured that the NGA remains committed to advancing the sustainable development of Nigeria’s gas industry as a catalyst for national and regional economic growth.

He added that the IGU will continue its global mission to promote natural gas as a foundation for sustainable energy systems worldwide.

The Nigerian Gas Association is the umbrella body and advocacy voice for the gas industry in Nigeria, representing both private and public sector interests.

Focusing on promoting natural gas as a vehicle for economic growth and sustainability, the NGA creates an enabling environment for the optimal development and utilisation of Nigeria’s vast gas resources. appointment
