Africa’s largest gathering of oil and gas players, Africa Oil Week (AOW), will be hosted permanently in Accra, the capital of Ghana, from 2025.
AOW, which is now owned by Sankofa Events, has been held in Cape Town, South Africa, for the past 30 years.
However, the organisers of the prestigious energy event have decided to move the host nation to Ghana, West Africa.
Speaking at the ongoing Africa Oil Week in Cape Town, South Africa, Dr Omar Farouk Ibrahim, Secretary-General of the African Petroleum Producers Organisation (APPO), expressed concerns about numerous energy events that happen at the same events with the same speakers underscored the need for organisers of Africa Oil Week and Africa Energy Week (AEW) to work together for the good of the continent.
“Africa Oil Week is moving base from Cape Town to Accra from 2025,” he said.
Commenting on this new development, Ghana’s Minister of State at the Energy Ministry, Herbert Krapa, welcomed the news, stating that Ghana is committed to hosting the event.
Organisers of the event have scheduled 15th September 2025 for the event.
