OPEC Congratulates Filipe Nyusi, For the Figure of the Year Award 2020

The Secretary General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, on behalf of his organization and its members, addressed a message of congratulations to the President of the Republic Filipe Nyusi after his nomination as “Figure of the year 2020” by Africa Oil & Power.

The award represents recognition from the energy industry for several years of consistent hard work, which culminated in the initiation of multi-billion dollar gas projects in Mozambique at a time when the industry was going through a global crisis.

“It is impressive, moving, but not surprising that Mohammed Barkindo makes Mozambique an important part of OPEC’s efforts to move beyond its core member states,” Declared NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.

“Mohammed Barkindo knows firsthand the possibilities that energy can bring to Mozambique and his message to his brother, comrade and friend President Nyusi sends a clear call to action to the international community to work with Mozambique on its path to stability and prosperity,” Ayuk concluded.

According to OPEC the gas developments for electricity generation will make Mozambique a reliable exporter of energy to its neighboring countries. The revenues from these developments will boost the entire economy and lead to jobs in all sectors, especially for Mozambique’s young population.

Infrastructure developments that are already planned will also connect Mozambique’s ports with modern roads to landlocked neighbors such as Zimbabwe and Malawi, thus extending significant benefits from Mozambique’s growth to the entire sub-region. According to the African Energy Chamber, Mozambique is expected to grow by an average of 10% per year between 2025 and 2035.
