Sankofa Events on Wednesday launched the Africa Oil Week (AOW) 2025 in Accra, an official move from Cape Town to Ghana, marking a significant milestone in Africa\u2019s journey towards energy independence and development.<\/p>\n
The event, hosted at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel on Wednesday, 13 November, aims to empower the continent to lead its natural resource development, strengthening Africa\u2019s presence in the global energy landscape.<\/p>\n
According to Paul Sinclair, CEO of Sankofa Events, AOW\u2019s mission is to drive Africa\u2019s self-determined path in the energy sector by fostering partnerships that prioritise equitable growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfrica Oil Week is about Africa charting its own course for natural resource development and finding the right partners who share a vision of equitable growth in the sector. Our goal is to secure energy access for our people and to establish a prominent role for Africa in the global energy landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
President of the Republic, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, in his speech emphasised that this moment marks a turning point for both Ghana and the continent. \u201cI am therefore personally delighted to endorse Africa Oil Week and to welcome its move from Cape Town to Accra. My gratitude extends to Sankofa Events for entrusting Ghana as the new host of such a significant gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Africa Prosperity Network, in partnership with Sankofa Events, stated that AOW\u2019s relocation to Ghana aims to not only focus on the nation itself but also to enhance West Africa\u2019s significance in the hydrocarbon sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout promoting West Africa\u2019s role in the hydrocarbon sector, eight of the world\u2019s thirty leading oil-producing countries are in Africa. So, it\u2019s absolutely critical that we are now seeing [AOW\u2019s] shift from Cape Town, South Africa, to Ghana. It\u2019s also important because we are projecting Ghana as the commercial hub of Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana hosts the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, and what is happening on the continent is that we are building a single market of 1.4 billion people that translates into about a $3.4 trillion economy and growing, and the more we integrate, the bigger the economy,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The Minister of State for Energy, Herbert Krapa, stated that \u201cour goal is to make it the premier energy dialogue on the continent, setting the stage for transformative discussions and partnerships that will propel Africa\u2019s energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n
