The African oil and especially gas sector received a spirited defence from African Energy Chamber chairperson NJ Ayuk on Tuesday. He was giving the opening address at Africa Energy Week 2022, in Cape Town. He highlighted that energy drove civilization, but that the energy industry was the one that now suffered the most criticism, the most attacks. But those working in the energy sector “should be proud”. He cited how energy workers and companies had “stood up” during the Covid-19 pandemic and had ensured that the energy the world needed was provided, including the fuels needed to transport vaccines.
