During a brief remark at the opening of the topical issues panel discussion at the conference, the HEOSL CEO said, “With the world seeking to transition to zero net emission by 2050, it is a matter of existential imperative for the Nigerian energy industry to appropriately contextualize its place in the fast-evolving scheme of things”.
