The 12th edition of West Africa’s leading energy event, NIGERIA ENERGY (formally Power Nigeria), officially opened on Tuesday October 28, 2025 at the Landmark Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos. The event which has become a major hub, where manufacturers, policy makers, professionals, consumers and more within the entire power value chain converge to network, view latest innovations and trends as well as strategize for growth, was officially declared open by the Honourable Minister of Power of Nigeria, Chief Adebayo Adelabu. This year’s edition is organized under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Power.
The Minister welcomed attendees, used the opportunity to make known the policy of the present government for the power sector in Nigeria just as he called for participation. According to him “the market fundamentals are improving and the policy environment is clear and the national leadership is committed to creating the enabling environment for long-term investment in the power sector.”
Chief Adelabu further revealed that he is hands on when it comes to the mainstream power generation and distribution, as he is personally involved with those aspects and does not delegate it to any of his directors. “I know where the shoe pinches, I know the steps we must take to transform and reform this country’s power sector.” He called for partnership as the government alone cannot do it all. He concluded by stating “together through sustained investment, forward thinking, innovation and strong partnerships, we can power Nigeria towards a brighter, more resilient and energy secured future.” This year’s edition of the conference has witnessed a huge growth in participation in exhibitors and visitor attendance. The three day event runs from Tuesday October 28 to Thursday 30, 2025.
