Training Focused on Gas and Energy Regulations
The training, titled “The Future of Gas, LNG and Energy: The Role of Midstream and Downstream Regulators,” took place in Lagos and attracted participants from various regions across Nigeria.

Promoting Peer Learning and Interaction
To bolster collaborative learning, the training included interactive group presentations and discussions. Participants were encouraged to share their experiences, which fostered a rich exchange of ideas and practical applications of the concepts covered.
