Lokpobiri confirmed that preparations are nearly complete, and operations will begin by the end of this quarter.
The Africa Energy Bank will provide financing for oil and gas projects, positioning itself as a key player in the continent’s energy transition.
Nigeria secured the right to host the bank, beating three rival African nations. The country is also pushing to boost oil production to 2.5 million barrels per day, up from the current 1.7 million bpd.

The bank’s success will depend on securing long-term capital and navigating shifts in the global energy landscape.
