ABERDEEN, Scotland, July 6, 2025/APO Group/ --
The African Energy Chamber (AEC) (www.EnergyChamber.org) – the leading voice of Africa’s energy industry – is proud to reaffirm its support for the West African Energy Summit (WAES), scheduled for November 18-19, 2025, in Aberdeen, Scotland. In the lead-up to the event, NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, AEC, will visit Aberdeen on July 11 to speak at the OGV Taproom, where he will deliver a keynote address titled Opportunities in Africa – a strategic presentation tailored for the UK supply chain.

African Energy Chamber (AEC) Reaffirms Support for West African Energy Summit (WAES) 2025 Delegation Heads to Aberdeen
Organized in partnership with OGV Group, the WAES is positioned as a premier platform for catalyzing investment, technology transfer and cross-border collaboration between African energy makers and global service providers. Ayuk’s visit underscores the AEC’s commitment to cultivating robust energy partnerships between Africa and Europe, particularly in light of Africa’s dynamic oil, gas and energy transition landscape.
Ayuk’s July 11 appearance in Aberdeen will preview key themes from African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies 2025, the continent’s premier energy event organized by the AEC, which returns to Cape Town from September 29 to October 3, 2025. This year’s edition will host the G20 Africa Energy Investment Forum, highlighting Africa’s role in the global energy transition and providing a platform for project developers, financiers and service providers to shape the continent’s energy future.
WAES 2025 builds on the success of last year’s edition held in Ghana and will showcase some of the most lucrative energy opportunities across West Africa. This year’s event is co-hosted by the Scottish Africa Business Association, in collaboration with the Society of Petroleum Engineers, Energy Industries Council and the AEC. The two-day summit aims to highlight upstream development, emerging markets, technology deployment and decarbonization strategies that support Africa’s just energy transition.
West Africa continues to stand at the forefront of Africa’s energy renaissance, offering a wealth of opportunities for global investors, service providers and strategic partners. From deepwater oil exploration in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea to major LNG developments in Senegal and Mauritania, African nations are advancing ambitious strategies to monetize resources, attract investment and strengthen regional energy security.
These developments are underpinned by aggressive investment strategies, regulatory reforms and strengthened national oil company participation – creating a competitive environment for foreign capital and technology. As countries across the region seek to reverse production declines, fast-track new discoveries and drive regional energy integration, platforms like the WAES event are critical to forging the cross-border partnerships needed to realize Africa’s goals of energy security, economic growth and a just energy transition.
At the event, Ayuk will participate in the high-level Africa’s Opportunity for UK Supply Chain Engagement session, where he will provide actionable insights on the investment-ready landscape across key African markets such as Nigeria, Senegal, Angola, Namibia and Mozambique. He will also outline the AEC’s vision for inclusive growth, local content development and the importance of aligning global expertise with Africa’s long-term energy security goals.
“Africa’s energy future depends on strategic partnerships that deliver technology, capital and capacity building. The UK supply chain has a crucial role to play – not as outsiders, but as long-term partners invested in Africa’s growth and resilience,” states Ayuk.
The WAES event will provide an essential gateway for UK service companies to align with Africa’s energy ambitions – ranging from deepwater developments and LNG production to renewables and hydrogen deployment. By connecting global innovation with Africa’s resource wealth, the summit aims to unlock sustainable development, economic growth and greater energy access across the continent.

Thank god always good to hear positive news from Somalia !
good somalis
Well done keep processing it will take a lot of effort to re-build what we destroyed..
progressing**
Some separatists will not like this news because every positive news from the south means, no one will believe that they are "the only peaceful region" anymore and no backpackers to listen to their delusional minds.
Hormuud, Telesom and Golis are all the same and are the company Dhiigshiil closed and robbed aka Al Barakat.
Al Barakat owner, was a genius and smart business man and Dhiigshiil couldnt beat him so they conspired the terrorist charges but that is now on its own door steps. What goes around comes around.
Unlike Dhiigshiil who rely on Garadag habar and few South Sudanese, Al Barakat tycoon was a smart man who still puts Somalis first regardless of clan and politics. For example in the north he gave them Telesom, in central Golis and Hormuud for the south. Majority shareholders of Telesom are northerners, Golis shareholders are mainly central and Hormuud is to give back to the south.
While Dhiigshiil simply thinks people don't see their naked war against Somalis and hate for Somalia. Until now its not clear why Somali government lets them to operate in the south? It only shows the tolerance from the southern brothers. I know when they addressing southern users they simply refer to them as "reer hamarka xuun".
Mohammed Sulaymon Barre was the mastermind that Dhiigshiil used to close down Al Barakat, which had no ties to no terrorism. God knows this and He will repay back Dhiigshiil its deeds. Don't be surprised if its closed and you loose your money.
"Barre explained that the two hawalas were competitors, and that when al-Barakat was suspended, its former customers shifted their business to Dhiigshiil."
Furthermore: 9/11 Commission cited 'No Direct Evidence That al-Barakaat Funded Terrorism' and that 'The FBI agent who led the second U.S. delegation said diligent investigation in the UAE revealed no “smoking gun” evidence— either testimonial or documentary — showing that al-Barakaat was funding AIAI or al-Qaeda." All fake propaganda generated in the Hawala offices of tribalist Dhiigshiil.
On 17th Feb 2012, all of the al-Barakaat companies were finally removed entirely from the terror list and the case of al-Barakaat was closed as it was delisted by the UN Security Council al-Qaida Sanctions Committee. The delisting included al-Barakaat Group of Companies Owner and CEO Mr. Ahmednur Jim'ale along with all of the 17 listed entities associated with al-Barakaat Group of Companies including Barakaat Bank of Somalia, al-Barakaat Exchange and Barakaat Telecommunications Company
I congratulate Hormuud and Jimaale, who is Duduble btw and many of my friends are indeed.
@ kayse
I am pure mogdishu person, Hormuud is still under the watchful eye of IC for many reasons. one thing is for sure Hormuud will only have small % communication sector other semi-autonumous states accept Haw!ye control areas. so, don't sell hormuud to other somali community.
This is a Al-Qaida Company funded on the proceeds of the $dollars made from the deforestation of Kismanyo and the Jubba valley.
It won't be long before it gets shut down!
Who would believe Kayse the liar ..now he's saying that the US Govt of 9/11 were influenced by
dahabshiil remittance tycoon business reputed company whose business is globalwide.
Sahra mj tata and ayanle dhulos keep clapping for the bs of Kayse dissident looma ooyaan.
Cheers.
I am "Ayanle Dhulos" and i endorse every message from Kayse or Sahra ! Please believe that !
lool horta bro ma tahay ayanle dhulos-kii paltalka ku dhuusi jiray marku hawiye=ho magahayo?

paltalk it look like you've never work day in your life haa and what is it with this obsession you have men's behind farting thing come to think of I don't want to touch it goodness gracious this beyond weird!!!
@Mohammad Cheers
What I said before was rude and disrespectful please discard it….!!!!!!!!!! This comment was below the belt. Accept My apology.
Who should we believe sheep like you who would do listen to anything. There is a term for people like that, they are called gullible or a man like Kayse who doesn't sugar coat the fact of reality. Kayse is a man who says what he believes and believes what he says without hesitation. Furthermore He analyzed the situation deeply and realized there really is no hope and after all that wasn't easy for him those are his people and this is where he comes from. Lets use common sense which side would be more believable. I would leave that you to ponder.
Ciao 🙂

big bang?
Cheers.

Cheers.
Folks, happy new year.
Cheers.
Cadnan, Tribalism is something that is not going anywhere in our history, but speculate the tribes of other readers on this side is rubbish. The reason why everone is skeptical of Hargeysa is of their so called state and policy on Ishaaq and Daarod…acording to them we are primitive compared to them. Mogadishu and Bossaso are just as beautiful and I am Darood. So in conclusion remember stop teasing Daarod and Ishaaq , just because they are working hard while the hawiye only have Hormuud and Lido beach.
Looool idoooors are mad..
