President Faye to Lead Senegal’s Energy Push at MSGBC 2026

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Energy Minister Dr. El Hadji Abdourahmane Diouf will headline the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2026 conference in Dakar. Running from December 1–3, the event marks a pivotal moment for the country as it transitions from an exploration frontier to an active hydrocarbon producer.

The summit at the Centre International de Conférences Abdou Diouf brings together regional political leaders and global investors to evaluate the impact of major offshore developments. With the Sangomar oil field producing 17.9 million barrels in the first half of 2026 and the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project now at full capacity, the focus has shifted from future potential to managing active production.

Dr. Diouf, who assumed his role following a government reshuffle that carved out a dedicated energy portfolio, will outline the state's policy framework for upcoming investments. The gathering aims to bridge the gap between resource development and economic growth across Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Conakry. By placing President Faye at the center of these discussions, the government seeks to secure the capital necessary for infrastructure expansion and ensure that offshore energy assets translate into long-term regional stability.
