Osa Igiehon, Heirs Energies CEO, is expected to share the blueprint for building world-class African energy companies at the Namibia Oil & Gas Conference (NOGC) 2025, as that country emerges as Africa’s next major oil frontier.

This was confirmed in a statement obtained by Advisors Reports on Monday revealing that Igiehon will headline the session – “The Making of an African Independent” – on 14 August.

Advisors Reports gathered that the Namibia Oil & Gas Conference (NOGC) 2025 is scheduled to start on August 12, 2025, and will run through August 15, 2025.

The Heirs Energies CEO will during the event bring hard-won insights from Heirs Energies’ transformation of Nigeria’s OML 17 into one of West Africa’s most successful indigenous-operated assets.

Igiehon during an exclusive fireside chat expected to hold on Aug.14 2025, with Dr. Clemens von Doderer of the Hanns Seidel Foundation Namibia is expected to outline how African independent energy companies are competing successfully with global majors and what is required to build sustainable operations that deliver both profit and purpose.

Igiehon said, “We will use the session to prove that African companies don’t just participate in the global energy market — we lead it. When you combine African innovation with world-class execution, you create something powerful.”

The company reiterated that its operations reflect the Africapitalism philosophy of its Group Chairman, Dr. Tony Elumelu — the belief that African private enterprise is central to driving the continent’s transformation.

From Nigeria to Namibia, Heirs Energies says it is “rewriting the playbook” for indigenous energy leadership. With Namibia’s Orange Basin attracting billions in international investment, the company emphasised that the key question is no longer whether African companies can compete, but how quickly they can scale to seize emerging opportunities.
