Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited has taken another step in its push to strengthen Africa’s energy security and industrial capacity, partnering with the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Nigeria and ECOWAS to deepen dialogue on sustainability, governance, and long-term strategic cooperation.

At a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, Renaissance Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tony Attah, told Ambassador and Head of Delegation, Gautier Mignot, that the company is ready to drive an energy-led industrialization movement from Nigeria to the rest of the continent. He said Africa’s current energy reality demands bold action.

“Africa holds more than 6% of global resource endowment yet still faces persistent energy poverty. Renaissance’s vision is to begin a movement to correct this,” Attah said. “Our ambition is to become Africa’s leading energy company, advancing energy security and the industrialization of Nigeria in a sustainable way.”

Attah stressed that cleaner and more responsible energy solutions are essential if Nigeria and the wider region are to stay investment-competitive and accelerate economic development. He added that Renaissance remains committed to improving the environmental performance of oil and gas operations while delivering energy responsibly.

To anchor this vision, Attah said the company has strengthened its corporate governance systems and continues to build on a legacy of credibility and performance. He commended the Federal Government for reforms that have helped stabilize the sector, including new executive orders, ongoing implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act, clearer target-setting for the industry, and improved security measures that have supported production growth.

Ambassador Mignot outlined the EU’s ongoing initiatives in Nigeria, including the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Program, and expressed interest in exploring future collaboration with Renaissance across shared areas of priority. The discussion also covered emissions management. Renaissance highlighted how continuous monitoring and improvement efforts, supported by the Nigeria Gas Commercialization Program, have helped the company reduce gas flaring and keep operations within the 40-level threshold.

Both organizations agreed on the need for deeper dialogue and coordinated action to strengthen energy security, support sustainability, and build long-term strategic partnerships that benefit Nigeria and the wider region.
