President Hage Geingob received the Lifetime Achievement award at the ongoing Africa Energy Week 2023 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Geingob shared the award with the Senegalese President Macky Sall.
The organisers said the award celebrates individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation and impact in Africa.
“President Geingob has been instrumental in shaping Namibia’s regulatory environment, making it highly attractive for foreign players.
“As a result, the country witnessed five major discoveries in two years while several projects have kicked off across the green hydrogen, mining and infrastructure sectors,” the organisers said.
Sall was awarded because he has shown inspirational leadership, with significant progress made in energy.
“The country is set to produce the first oil and gas from the Sangomar and Greater Tortue Ahmeyim fields next year while continuing to attract significant investment across the entire economy.”
