At this year’s edition, stakeholders are expected to highlight opportunities in Nigeria's growing energy sector.

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board will be holding a three-day biennial fair titled "The Oil and Gas Industry: Catalyst for Nigeria's Industrialisation" from May 17 to 19 at the NCDMB Conference Centre in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

The chief executive of the NCDMB said that the fair was meant to give Nigerian service companies an opportunity to develop their capacities.

The goal of the conference, he said, was also to reassure stakeholders of the industry that opportunities still abound in the Nigerian oil and gas industry and encourage them to look forward and invest in the sector, despite concerns about energy transition and other emerging developments in the global oil and gas industry.
