… assures Petroleum Ministry agencies’ participation in OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week 2025

Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to boosting local refining capacity, emphasizing that optimizing crude processing could triple the country’s earnings from petroleum derivatives compared to the current estimated $70 per barrel from crude sales.

The Minister made this remark when he received the delegation from OTL Downstream Development in Africa Ltd./Gte., led by CEO Mrs. Joyce.

Mrs Akabogu, CEO of OTL Downstream Development in Africa Ltd./Gte, on her part, stated that the purpose of the visit was to engage the Ministry of Petroleum Resources towards the forthcoming OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week, noting that the event is aimed at fostering relationships within the downstream energy value chain and providing a pan-African platform for collaboration and growth.

Senator Lokpobiri, while accepting the OTL Downstream Development in Africa Ltd./Gte., delegation observed that while many operators tend to overlook its importance, the downstream sector is of critical value to the overall petroleum value chain given its significant revenue potentials and value to the national economy.

He says, “While sales from a barrel of crude oil is estimated at around $70, income accruable from derivatives of crude oil refining could be three times more.

Realizing its value to the economy, the Ministry is focused on enhancing in-country refining capacity, reflected in the recent issuance of licenses for the development of additional refineries and ongoing support for the local refining industry.”

The Minister emphasized that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration firmly believes that boosting local refining capacities “will help reduce the dependency on imported refined petroleum products and ensure a competitive market for the benefit of all Nigerians, leading to continued decrease in the prices of petroleum products.

He further clarified that the removal of subsidies was part of a strategic effort to strengthen Nigeria’s refining capabilities and ensure the country is ultimately a net exporter of petroleum products.

The Minister expressed the Ministry’s support for the OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week, noting that it is a focused initiative dedicated to the downstream sector, unlike other initiatives that take a more holistic approach.

He also affirmed that Nigeria is well-positioned to host the event, given its critical role in the global energy sector.

He commended the OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week secretariat for beginning preparations months ahead of the event, a proactive approach which according to him, is an indicator of the event’s potential for facilitating industry growth and sustainability.

The Minister confirmed his participation in the 2025 event, together with agencies under the Ministry.
