Two of Nigeria’s most accomplished women in the oil and gas industry, Chief Uju Ifejika, Chairperson/CEO of Brittania-U Nigeria Limited, and Mrs. Winifred Akpani, Managing Director of Northwest Petroleum & Gas Company Limited, have been invited as guest speakers at the upcoming Indigenous Oil & Gas Investors Summit, scheduled for July 23–24, 2025, at Bickley Park Waterfront Hotel, Lekki, Lagos.
With the summit theme “Local Vision, Global Impact: The Future of Oil and Gas Investment in Nigeria,” both speakers are set to lead a powerful session focused on “The Challenges and Triumphs of Women in the Oil and Gas Sector.” Their participation underscores the critical role women continue to play in driving innovation, resilience, and indigenous growth in Nigeria’s energy landscape.
“These trailblazing women have not only broken barriers in a male-dominated industry but have also built legacies that continue to inspire the next generation of energy leaders,” said Wenefred Odunze, Summit Coordinator.
“ Their voices will enrich the summit’s dialogue on inclusive development, local capacity building, and the future of indigenous investment in Nigeria.”
Media partners, stakeholders, and interested participants are encouraged to register early, as attendance is expected to be robust.
