Mobilising Capital for Nigerian Content Growth

Access to finance remains fundamental to accelerating Nigerian Content and strengthening indigenous participation across the energy value chain. As investment opportunities expand, the focus must shift towards improving access to capital, strengthening financial partnerships and showcasing innovative financing solutions that enable indigenous companies to compete, scale and deliver increasingly complex projects. PNC 2026 will explore innovative financing mechanisms and practical solutions that improve access to affordable capital and support the next phase of Nigerian Content growth.

Unlocking Project Opportunities Across the Energy Value Chain

The industry’s growing pipeline of energy projects presents a significant opportunity to deepen local participation by prioritising sustainable local content development and implementation. Maximising these opportunities will require stronger collaboration between operators, contractors and indigenous businesses, alongside greater visibility of procurement strategies and supplier development initiatives. PNC 2026 will explore how the industry can unlock greater commercial opportunities, strengthen competitive local supply chains and position Nigerian companies to capture more value across current and future energy developments.

Defining the Strategic Roadmap for the Next Decade of Local Content Implementation

With 61% of local content reached through the current Nigerian Content Strategic Roadmap (2017 – 2027), the industry has a unique opportunity to shape the priorities that will define the next phase of local content. Building on 15 years of progress, PNC 2026 will provide a platform for industry stakeholders to contribute to the development of the next Strategic Roadmap; identifying the policies and investment priorities required to strengthen competitiveness, strategies to close the capacity gaps, accelerate industrialisation and maximise the long-term impact of Nigerian Content.

Advancing Policy for Sustainable Nigerian Content Development

The Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act has provided a strong legislative foundation for Nigerian Content development, driving significant progress in increasing local participation and in-country value across the oil and gas industry. As the industry evolves, policies and regulations must continue to adapt to emerging opportunities, shifting market dynamics, technological advancements and investor expectations. PNC 2026 will bring together policymakers, regulators and industry leaders to explore how legislation and regulatory frameworks can continue to enable investment, strengthen compliance and support the sustainable growth of Nigeria's energy sector.
