In Nigeria, the government advanced oil and gas reforms with plans to license 220 blocks and approve interim gas tariffs, while fast-tracking power sector investments through Phase Two of the Siemens initiative, new transmission loans, and refinancing of ₦4 trillion in sector debt. Renewable energy expansion also gained traction with a ₦100 billion solarisation plan for public institutions, UNDP-backed clean energy partnerships, and new university solar projects.

In Ghana, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation and Petroleum Commission signed a revenue-sharing agreement to accelerate exploration in the Voltarian Basin.
