Heirs Energies has reinforced its ambition to drive Africa’s energy independence and innovation with strong participation at two major international gatherings — the U.S.–Africa Energy Forum in Houston, Texas, and the Namibia International Oil & Gas Conference 2025.

The integrated indigenous energy company said its vision remains centered on unlocking Africa’s natural resources responsibly to strengthen energy security, accelerate industrialization, and create shared prosperity across the continent.

At the Houston forum, Chief Executive Officer of Heirs Energies, Osa Igiehon, joined industry leaders and policymakers to discuss the next phase of U.S.–Africa energy cooperation. He stressed that Africa must take charge of its energy future by balancing its vast hydrocarbon reserves with renewable opportunities.

“Our mission is to make energy sufficiency real for millions of Africans while ensuring sustainability, innovation, and local capacity remain at the core of our growth,” Igiehon said during one of the sessions.

The company then extended its engagements to Namibia, a rising hub in Africa’s oil and gas space. There, Igiehon shared a panel with regional and global operators, outlining the importance of inclusive and responsible development of Africa’s energy resources. He described Heirs Energies’ presence in Namibia as the beginning of a long-term partnership aimed at contributing meaningfully to the country’s energy growth.

The company’s active role at both events highlights its evolution from a Nigerian player into a pan-African operator. Guided by the Africapitalism philosophy of its founder and chairman, Tony O. Elumelu, Heirs Energies continues to promote private sector investment in sectors that deliver both economic growth and social impact.

With innovation, environmental responsibility, and community development at the center of its operations, Heirs Energies says it is determined to remain a key driver in Africa’s transition toward energy sufficiency and sustainable prosperity.
