PEGIS Global at the ALDG Business Forum 2026

PEGIS Global Services Limited was well represented at the Association of Local Distributors of Gas (ALDG) Business Forum 2026, held on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at the PTDF Building in the Central District of Abuja.

The forum, themed "From Gas Abundance to Gas Access: Reassessing Nigeria's Gas Distribution Imperative," convened policymakers, regulators, investors, development finance institutions, technology providers, and operators to address the most pressing challenges facing Nigeria's domestic gas distribution sector. PEGIS Global was represented at the event by Mr. Anthony Ekwuno, Ms. Boma Ngereboa, and Mr. Emmanuel Ayegba.

A central theme running through the forum was the stark contrast between Nigeria's enormous gas reserves and the limited access that industries, households, and businesses currently enjoy. Nigeria holds an estimated 209 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves, yet end-user access remains severely constrained. Discussions highlighted the urgent need to move beyond reserve accumulation toward practical, widespread distribution and utilisation.

Infrastructure development was identified as the most critical priority, with participants calling for significant investment in pipeline networks, gas processing facilities, storage systems, and virtual pipeline solutions to increase gas penetration nationwide.

The policy environment also featured prominently. Industry experts emphasised the need for a stable, investor-friendly regulatory framework to attract private capital into the sector, with regulatory certainty highlighted as essential for accelerating growth across the gas distribution value chain.

A key theme toward the close of the forum was the shift from diagnosis to execution. There was broad consensus that the challenges are well understood, and what the sector now requires is not further analysis but a clear, coordinated plan of action. Collaboration across the value chain, between government agencies, operators, investors, and indigenous service companies, was consistently cited as a critical enabler.

For PEGIS Global, participation in the forum reflects the company's commitment to staying at the forefront of industry dialogue and actively engaging in the conversations shaping Nigeria's energy future.
