The African Peace Organisation (APO) has mooted the 3rd edition of the International African Energy, Oil and Gas (IAEOG) Summit.
The event, which is being organised to address the poverty rate in Africa, is also expected to promote business cooperation, stimulate investment and create jobs among African countries.
The summit, which is billed to take place in Namibia, will further boost business cooperation with Nigeria as a follow up to the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
This is coming against the report that in 2024, around 429 million people in the continent were reportedly living in extreme poverty which led to insecurity and conflict.
In a statement made available to Blueprint Monday, the chairman of APO, Hon. Justice Suleiman Galadima (rtd.), and Noah Ajare, the Editor-in-Chief of African Peace Magazine (APM), UK, a member of APO, made this known in a joint statement Monday in Abuja.
“We bring you compliments from the chairman, Hon. Justice Suleiman Galadima, JSC, CFR, OFR (Rtd.) and the management of African Peace Magazine UK.
“African Peace Magazine UK, a member of the African Peace Organisation, has been publishing for well over 14 years, and we are committed to promoting peace, business networking, good governance and improved conditions of living for Africans.
“We are pleased to invite you to the 2024 International African Energy, Oil and Gas Summit, an event pivotal for those eager to stay abreast of the latest trends, innovations and opportunities in the oil and gas industry.
“The International African Energy, Oil & Gas Summit & Awards/Exhibition (IAEOG) is a few weeks away, kicking off on 22nd to 30th of October, 2024.
“This premier event continues to grow remarkably each year, with over 2,500 attendees expected to converge from more than 50 countries under one roof.
“This event, a proactive endeavor supporting the AfCTA’s mission to forge regional value chains in Africa, aims at stimulating investment and job creation across the continent.
“AfCFTA’s ultimate goal is to unify approximately 1.3 billion people across Africa, with a collective GDP of nearing US$ 3.4 trillion,” the group said.
