Africa needs bold and immediate interventions powered by innovation, collaboration, and equity to advance the continent’s march towards energy security and sustainable development, Wale Ajibade, Executive Director at global energy and infrastructure conglomerate, Sahara Group has said.
Ajibade, who spoke ahead of the African Refiners & Distributors Association (ARDA) Week 2025, urged the adoption of actionable strategies that will empower Africa to achieve universal energy access, address critical infrastructure gaps, and propel an energy transition that takes cognizance of Africa’s developmental goals.
Themed “Africa First: Delivering Our Energy Future,” Bethel Obioma, Head, Corporate Communications, Sahara Group, said the conference will give Sahara and other stakeholders an opportunity to galvanize action towards “bringing energy to life responsibly to all Africans, leaving no one behind.”
He said Sahara Group’s speaking delegation will reinforce the need for Africa to take the driver’s seat role in its quest for energy security.
