The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has announced plans to host the 2026 Oil & Gas Midstream and Downstream Stakeholders Summit, bringing together key players across Nigeria’s energy value chain to discuss investment opportunities, regulatory developments, and sector growth strategies.
According to the statement by the NCDMB, the two-day event is scheduled to open on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at Four Points by Sheraton, Victoria Island, Lagos, and will convene senior government officials, regulators, investors, operators, financiers, and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors.
The summit, which will be hosted by the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, De. Felix Omatsola Ogbe, is designed as a strategic platform to accelerate collaboration across Nigeria’s midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors, with a focus on expanding investment flows and strengthening local content participation.
The event will also examine opportunities arising under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which continues to reshape Nigeria’s energy landscape by improving transparency, regulatory clarity, and investor confidence.
It added that industry stakeholders are expected to engage on implementation frameworks under the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act and related ministerial regulations guiding local participation in the sector.
The summit, according to the statement, is expected to attract senior executives from oil and gas companies, midstream and downstream operators, government agencies, regulatory institutions, and technical experts across the energy sector.
Discussions at the summit will focus on emerging opportunities in infrastructure development, gas monetisation, refining, transportation, storage, and distribution networks.
A key highlight of the event will be the unveiling of the NCDMB Midstream and Downstream Operating Model, aimed at improving efficiency, strengthening regulatory coordination, and enhancing local industry participation.
The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board said that the summit would provide participants with access to high-level policy discussions, regulatory updates, and investment insights, while also facilitating networking between global investors and local industry operators.
