The nations present included Angola, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Cameroon, and Niger.<\/p><p>\u201cWhile over 15 African nations are producing and exporting crude oil, a sad reality is that our people have not benefited maximally from this natural resource,\u201d Nigeria\u2019s minister Sylva said, as carried by local outlet This Day.<\/p><p>Raising the share of local content in oilfield services and the industry\u2019s supply chain is one of the ways to cope with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Energy\/Crude-Oil\/Climate-Activism-Is-Great-News-For-Saudi-Arabia-And-Russia.html\">growing reluctance<\/a>\u00a0for funding oil and gas projects and the environmental backlash against fossil fuels, according to Sylva.<\/p><p>Simbi Wabote, Executive Secretary at the Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board (NCDMB), said that Africa may need to set up a continental bank to fund oil and gas projects now that major international banks are reviewing their exposure and commitments to fossil fuels.<\/p><p>\u201cFinancial institutions and IOCs, even educational research institutions, that are centres of innovation for the industry are closing their petroleum faculties in order to be seen to be in conformity with the global paradigm shift,\u201d This Day quoted the secretary general of the African Petroleum Producers\u2019 Organization, Ibrahim, as saying.<\/p><p>\u201cWith over 100 billion barrels of oil still in our ground, most economies are still heavily dependent on oil revenue.
