Renaissance Africa Energy has officially joined the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP), marking a major step in Nigeria’s energy sector. As the third Nigerian and fourth African company to join, this membership clearly highlights Renaissance’s commitment to global oil and gas standards.
IOGP made the announcement in London. The association unites producers worldwide to share knowledge, strengthen safety, and promote best practices. Therefore, Renaissance’s entry into the group places Nigeria more firmly on the global stage.
IOGP’s Chief Executive Officer, Graham Henley, expressed delight at the news. He explained that his previous experience in Nigeria gave him a good understanding of its challenges. However, he also stressed that the country has unique expertise and potential. Consequently, Renaissance’s addition will strengthen IOGP’s committees and subcommittees.
On the company’s side, Renaissance’s Managing Director and CEO, Tony Attah, described the achievement as remarkable. He noted that the membership came just five months after the company completed the acquisition of Shell’s shares in the former Shell Petroleum Development Company. In addition, he emphasised that Renaissance’s strategy is to deliver a new beginning focused on energy security and sustainable industrialisation.
Attah further reaffirmed the company’s ambition to set higher standards for Nigeria and Africa’s oil and gas industry. Therefore, he stressed that the partnership with IOGP enhances credibility and aligns Renaissance with global benchmarks. Furthermore, he encouraged other Nigerian stakeholders to adopt similar commitments and work toward international standards.
Renaissance’s General Manager for Safety and Environment, Elozino Olaniyan, expressed optimism about the milestone. She explained that this membership reflects the company’s dedication to global best practices across all operations. As a result, she believes the company will help drive industrialisation, foster job creation, and boost Nigeria’s economic growth.
In conclusion, Renaissance Africa Energy’s membership in IOGP goes beyond recognition. Instead, it represents a renewed commitment to excellence, energy security, and sustainable development for Nigeria and the wider African continent.
