[5/31, 11:45 AM] Uncle Saine: The Gambia Participates in Africa Energies Summit 2026 in London
The Honourable Minister for Petroleum, Energy and Mines, Hon. Nani Juwara, recently led The Gambia’s delegation to the Africa Energies Summit 2026 in London, organised by Frontier Energy. The delegation comprised senior officials and technical experts from across The Gambia’s petroleum sector.
The Africa Energies Summit is a premier annual gathering that brings together policymakers, industry leaders, investors and technical experts to discuss energy policy, emerging technologies and investment opportunities across the African continent. The event provides an important platform for African countries to engage with international energy companies and promote opportunities in petroleum exploration, development and related sectors.
During the summit, the Gambian delegation held a series of meetings with international oil companies and service providers interested in exploring investment opportunities in The Gambia’s petroleum sector. These engagements formed part of the Government’s ongoing efforts to attract responsible investment and advance the development of the country’s hydrocarbon resources.
The summit concluded on a celebratory note for The Gambia, as the Director General of the Petroleum Commission, Mrs. Cany Jobe, was honoured with the Leading Woman in African Energy Award, in recognition of her pioneering leadership and outstanding contribution to the advancement of Africa’s energy sector.
The award reflects the growing recognition of The Gambia’s efforts to strengthen governance, promote investment and foster inclusivity within its energy industry.
