Nigeria Hosts Practical Nigerian Content Forum 2025 to Drive Local Content Growth and Energy Investment
Nigeria is strengthening its position as a leader in local content development across Africa, as the country prepares to host the 14th edition of the Practical Nigerian Content Forum (PNC 2025) in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, from December 1–4, 2025. The event comes at a time when the Federal Government’s “Nigeria First Policy” is pushing industries to prioritize locally made goods and services, reinforcing the nation’s drive toward homegrown industrialization and job creation.
The recent commissioning of Nigeria’s first indigenous crude export terminal—a $400 million project inaugurated by President Bola Tinubu—highlights the country’s growing self-sufficiency and commitment to investment-led industrial growth. This milestone demonstrates how strategic infrastructure and policy direction are helping Nigeria build a more resilient and inclusive energy ecosystem.
Themed “Securing Investments, Strengthening Local Content, and Scaling Energy Production,” this year’s forum will bring together regional policymakers, global investors, regulators, and indigenous operators. Key discussions will center on unlocking financing for local businesses, expanding supplier development, and advancing technology transfer across oil, gas, and power value chains.
A new Townhall Session will debut at the 2025 edition, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage directly with policymakers, share insights, and discuss practical solutions for improving Nigeria’s energy landscape. Speaking ahead of the event, Oluwamuyiwa Kosile, Managing Director of Ikosh Nigeria Limited, reaffirmed his company’s commitment to “strengthening indigenous capacity, driving innovation, and fostering sustainable growth within the oil and gas sector.”
Over the years, the Practical Nigerian Content Forum has evolved into a major platform for collaboration and innovation in Africa’s energy sector. This year’s edition aims to accelerate Nigeria’s transition toward a sustainable, locally driven energy economy—one where indigenous enterprises thrive, create jobs, and compete globally, shaping Africa’s collective energy future.
