Sahara Group is set to convene policymakers, industry executives, investors, academics and journalists in Lagos next week for the third edition of Asharami Square, the energy conglomerate’s flagship thought-leadership forum aimed at translating debate over Africa’s energy transition into concrete action.
The event, themed “Energising Africa’s Future: Legacy, Impact, and Transformation,” takes place July 22 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Ikeja. Organisers say this year’s programme will focus on the partnerships, financing structures and policy frameworks needed to speed up sustainable energy development across the continent, building on two prior editions since the platform launched in 2024.
The forum will examine how closer coordination among government, industry, financiers and the media can unlock investment, upgrade infrastructure and widen energy access while advancing the continent’s transition away from fossil fuels, a balancing act many African economies are still negotiating as they weigh energy security against decarbonization commitments.
“Africa’s energy future will be shaped by the strength of our partnerships and our ability to turn dialogue into action,” said Bethel Obioma, Sahara Group’s head of corporate communications. She said the platform is designed to convene differing perspectives and steer decisions that shape policy, investment and long-term development on the continent, adding that the company’s focus remains on backing the ideas and partnerships needed for a sustainable energy future in Africa.
