The Association’s National Executive Council (NEC) Meeting was held on December 5th, 2023, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The NEC-in-session deliberated on the mirage of issues and challenges confronting the energy sector and the Nation.

The NEC-in-session frowned at the country's abuse of labour laws by indigenous oil and gas companies.

On fuel subsidy and the high cost of petroleum products in the country, the NEC-in-session identified that one of the main factors contributing to the ongoing challenge was the nation’s heavy reliance on imported refined petroleum products and called for increased local refining capacity.
