The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has announced plans to host the 2026 Oil and Gas Midstream and Downstream Stakeholders Summit from May 19 to 20, 2026, at Four Points by Sheraton, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The summit is expected to bring together key decision-makers, government officials, regulators, institutional investors, financiers, operators, and EPC contractors to explore emerging opportunities in Nigeria’s rapidly evolving midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors.
The event will be hosted by the Executive Secretary of NCDMB, Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe.
According to the organisers, the summit comes against the backdrop of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which is aimed at strengthening transparency and creating a more investor-friendly business environment in the nation’s oil and gas industry.
The gathering is expected to serve as a strategic platform for stakeholder engagement, partnership development, and investment opportunities across the oil and gas value chain.
Senior executives and management teams from the oil and gas industry, regulatory agencies, government institutions, technical experts, and other energy sector professionals are expected to attend the summit.
The summit will also focus on fostering collaboration and industry networking while facilitating discussions on the implementation of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act 2010 and the Ministerial Regulations 2021.
Organisers said the event would provide an avenue for the unveiling of the new NCDMB Midstream and Downstream Operating Model, as well as discussions on current industry challenges and emerging opportunities.
Participants are expected to gain insights into policy direction, regulatory frameworks, and Nigerian content development initiatives. They will also have opportunities to network with key stakeholders and explore potential investment opportunities within the sector.
Participation at the summit is strictly by invitation, while attendance is free for invited stakeholders.
