Environment Africa Magazine, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Environment and
powered by NatureHedge, is set to host the Nigeria Environment Outlook 2025 in Lagos this week —
Friday, October 17 — a high-level platform uniting government leaders, business executives, and
sustainability experts to chart new pathways for Nigeria’s environmental progress.
Themed “Shaping a Greener Present for a Sustainable and Resilient Future,” the event will explore
strategies for strengthening public–private partnerships, promoting environmental compliance, and
mainstreaming sustainability across key national sectors. The Outlook seeks to align Nigeria’s green
policy ambitions with tangible, collaborative action.
Top 100 Environmental and Sustainability Professionals to Be Honoured
A major highlight of the programme will be the presentation of the 2nd Edition of Nigeria’s Top 100
Environmental Professionals, a recognition that celebrates exceptional individuals shaping
environmental innovation, research, and policy transformation nationwide.
The inaugural edition, released in 2024, honoured pioneers of environmental leadership and
advocacy. This second edition continues that tradition by spotlighting a new generation of leaders
driving climate resilience, circular economy integration, green enterprise and sustainability in
Nigeria.
Dialogue and Collaboration for Environmental Action
The Nigeria Environment Outlook 2025 will feature an address by the Honourable Minister of
Environment, H.E Balarabe Abbas Lawal, invited as Special Guest of Honour. Incidentally, the Honourable Minister is a nominee of the 2025 Top100 Environmental Professionals listing.
Keynote address will be given by Dr Eugene Itua, Executive Director of the African Green
Economy and Sustainability Institute (AGESI); with the event hosting two panel discussions, and a thematic breakout session focused on green economy pathways, sustainable infrastructure, and institutional accountability across 13 thematic multi-engagement themes.
Policymakers, academics, and private sector leaders will exchange insights on how cross-sectoral cooperation can accelerate national sustainability goals.
According to Sam Nwosu, Editor-in-Chief of Environment Africa Magazine, “This year’s Outlook is not just a review — it’s a rallying point for collaboration. Nigeria’s environmental future depends on shared commitment between government, industry, and civil society to translate ideas into measurable, lasting impact.”
Multi-Sectoral Support for Sustainability
The 2025 edition enjoys support from both public and private stakeholders, including Sterling Oil
Exploration & Energy Production Company (SEEPCO), Heirs Energies, and the Asteven Group.
Institutional and civil society partners include the Civil Society Strategy Group on SDGs (CSOSG-SDGs), the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Associations Alliance (REEEA–A), and the
Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) — reflecting a broad coalition committed to driving
Nigeria’s environmental and climate action agenda.
