As a global energy leader, you understand the critical role oil and gas play in shaping Africa’s energy future. NJ Ayuk, an award-winning author, Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestselling writer, and one of Africa’s foremost voices in energy law and policy, offers vital insights into how the continent can harness its vast oil and gas resources while navigating the global energy transition. His books, A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix, which won the prestigious Anthem Award, and Billions at Play: The Future of African Energy and Doing Deals, provide essential perspectives on how oil and gas can drive Africa’s sustainable growth, energy security, and economic prosperity. In A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix, Ayuk challenges the global narrative that Africa must abandon its oil and gas reserves in favour of renewable energy. Instead, he shows how these resources can power the continent’s development while supporting a just transition to renewables. Africa’s oil and gas are key to creating jobs, building infrastructure, and ensuring energy access for millions—something that cannot be achieved without a careful, balanced approach. In Billions at Play: The Future of African Energy and Doing Deals” an Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Ayuk takes a deep dive into the complexities of Africa’s oil and gas sector, offering actionable strategies for leveraging these resources to drive broader economic development. He emphasises how African governments can negotiate smarter deals, unlock untapped oil and gas fields, and create sustainable industries that benefit local communities while competing on the global stage. |
