Being speech delivered by the Publisher, CEO of Valuechain Media Group, Alhaji Musa Bashir Usman, FNIPR on the occasion of the 6th Annual Lecture and Awards of the Valuechain Magazine.

Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and fellow compatriots,

I stand before you today with immense gratitude in my heart. I would like to extend a warm and hearty welcome to all the dignitaries who have traveled from far and near to join us at the 6th Valuechain Annual Lecture and Awards held here at the prestigious PTDF Tower in Abuja. Your presence here today is a testament to the unwavering support you have provided to Valuechain over the past five years. Our journey has not been without challenges, particularly the rough terrain we’ve had to navigate, including the tumultuous period of the Covid-19 pandemic and economic turbulence. However, our passion for this publication remains undiminished.

Our vision for Valuechain has always been clear: to offer the energy industry a special voice. This voice is not only dedicated to discussing the challenges that plague the industry but also to transforming it into an attractive investment destination on the global energy map.

As we gather here today, I wish to express my profound gratitude to the many stakeholders, some of whom are present with us, who have consistently come to our aid in times of need, whether through patronage or various forms of encouragement. Your unwavering support has been the driving force behind our perseverance.

I want to take this opportunity, in front of this esteemed gathering, to acknowledge and appreciate our remarkable human capital. The success and accolades that the Valuechain brand has garnered do not belong to me; they belong to each and every one of you who have contributed your skills, dedication, and passion. You are the lifeblood of this publication, and it is your hard work and commitment that have made it what it is today.

The theme of our event today, “Midstream Gas Development: A Pathway to Energy Transition,” holds great significance for the energy industry. It highlights the critical importance of developing the midstream gas sector as an integral part of our energy transition journey. To achieve our energy goals as a nation, we must consciously invest in infrastructure that facilitates the smooth transition of gas production from the upstream value chain to the downstream end.

This noble task is not one that can be accomplished in isolation. It requires determination from the government, which should provide the necessary policies and funding to make such investments attractive to both local and international stakeholders. Forums like the one we are attending today play a vital role in addressing these issues. They offer us the platform to engage in discussions about how, as a nation, we can develop, amend, rejig, and rectify any loopholes that may exist in our existing programs. The ultimate goal is to draw the attention of those responsible to take action and drive us closer to our energy transition aspirations.

In conclusion, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your unwavering support, and I am confident that the discussions and insights that will emerge from this gathering will contribute significantly to the development of our nation’s energy industry. Let us all work together to make our energy transition a reality, and Valuechain will continue to be your reliable partner on this journey.

Thank you, and I wish you all a productive and enlightening day ahead.
