 I'm very delighted to join so many others in Nigeria and around the world to celebrate with the founders, management and staff of Sahara Energy on this occasion of your 25th anniversary. In the last two decades, we've consistently seen and with great pride, I must add, a growth of Nigerian oil companies from the days when Nigerian companies were mainly invested in the downstream sector to a situation now where we have Nigerian companies in the downstream, midstream and upstream sectors. Nigerian companies have shown capacity in operations and financing of oil and gas assets, but within this group of patriotic local investors, Sahara has consistently blazed the trail as industry leaders, not just in the petroleum sector, but in the power sector as well. So the founders of this iconic energy institution literally turned a local petroleum trading company into an international business, spanning oil trading, bulk petroleum storage, oil production, gas supply, shipping, electricity distribution and power production in just over a decade, and they've continued to build out strategically ever since. Sahara has been and remains a great ambassador for the Nigerian entrepreneurial brand, bold, innovative, knowledge driven, with business models that are designed to seize opportunities in other countries and have done so with remarkable success in many countries. The next 25 years will be defining for the energy industry, locally we launch into the brave new world for the oil and gas industry with the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, and this happily converges with the launch of the year 2021 to 2030 as the decade of gas development for Niger. And this is a follow up to the highly successful initiative of the year 2020 as a year of gas. The main goal of the passage of the petroleum industry bill, now the Petroleum Industry Act, and the gas initiatives that I mentioned earlier, is to transform Nigeria not only into a gas based industrialized nation through enhanced accelerated gas production and distribution, but also to help create a better managed petroleum industry where both the people of Nigeria and investors alike can extract value. But aside from this we also enter into two decades where the speed to decarbonization will from what we see today run on steroids. Already the world nations and their institutions have banned many public investments in certain fossil fuel projects including natural gas. Funds include the European Union, the United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark, as well as specific institutions such as the Sweden Fund from Sweden, Norway's Sovereign World Fund, the largest in the world, the CDC of the UK, the European Investment Bank, the Investment Fund for Development Countries from Denmark. The World Bank and other multilateral development banks are also being urged by their shareholders to do the same. So I think we're faced with a situation where several of these countries are putting tremendous pressure on their members, and barely two weeks ago the UN Secretary General made a strong call that countries should end all fossil fuel, new fossil fuel exploration and production, and shift fossil fuel subsidies into renewable energy. While the federal government is building coalitions with other affected countries to urge a just transition as we advance to zero transmission, I will urge indigenous energy companies such as yourselves to join in the very urgent advocacy that is required to prevent the disaster that would result from defunding oil and gas projects. The third big issue, as you know, and this has also been alluded to by the president of the African Development Bank, which is the African continental free trade agreements. The African continental free trade agreements will offer new vistas for business. Sahara is already in business in many parts of the continent. But your participation and your contributions to some of the negotiations that are going on even now will be helpful, especially because of your experience out there in the field already. So I would really like to urge that you join in some of what we're doing, especially with our negotiating teams, to see that we're able to get the very best value from this next round of negotiations. But before I end, I must thank the president of the African continental, sorry, the president of the AFDB, President Dakin Adishino, for his great support for Sahara Energy and for our government and for several of our different initiatives and projects. I know that he's pulled in several different directions and he's working practically across the continent, but we want to thank him for the great support that he's given us and also the support to Sahara Energy. But I must also thank especially the president of the DRC, President Felix Shisekedi, for his support for Sahara Energy. Excellence Monsieur le Président, je vous remercie infiniment pour votre appui au Sahara Energy. Accepter Monsieur le Président l'assurance, mes considérations, distingue. Let me again congratulate the Sahara team for 20 years, 25 years of stunning achievements in the energy industry and to wish you even more and even more remarkable 25 years ahead. God bless you and all you do. Thank you very much.
