Published fortnightly, 24 issues a year, African Energy has a strong focus on the people and personalities shaping the continent’s energy future, as well as a strong appreciation of the political risk issues that concern established operators, new entrants and financial sector investors. Through its independent, investigative approach to reporting, African Energy has become a fixture on the African energy scene by delivering incisive and outspoken analysis in perspectives undistorted by advertising, third-party media or government communication channels. African Energy does not just rewrite press releases or wire copy like so many web-based news aggregators and ‘information portals’. Since its first issue in April 1998, African Energy has gone further for its stories and information than many of its competitors to bring you an informed, no-nonsense appraisal of the latest developments – in the process talking to both government and opposition figures, utilities and regulators, oil majors, independents and NOCs, and corruption watchdogs. African Energy’s highly experienced editorial team is based in the UK, and mainland Europe, with correspondents across the African continent - in some cases protecting themselves by filing anonymously. Many of African Energy's contributors live and do business in Africa, while editorial staff frequently visit African countries and talk to top political and business figures, among a wide range of key contacts. The depth with which subjects are treated means that African Energy has a long shelf-life and is held as a source of record and learning, by government departments, corporate information centres, and leading academic institutions and industry bodies.

Nigeria's presidency is probably the most demanding executive position on the continent. After a turbulent first year spent disentangling his predecessor's control over the levers of power, President Umaru Yar'adua finally come into his own but he is now gravely ill in Saudi Arabia. No-one is sure if he can resume office and the political maneuvering to succeed Yar’Adua has already begun. The first half of 2010 will be critically important in determining not only Nigeria’s political future but also that of the controversial Petroleum Industries Bill. Nigeria Focus’ expert analysis will therefore be even more important. First with the most important scoops, Nigeria Focus is widely recognised as the most authoritative publication on Nigeria's hydrocarbon sector. With unequalled knowledge of the complex political and business world of Africa's oil giant, our editor has long been the region's leading oil journalist. The team of experts who write Nigeria Focus are based in Abuja, Lagos, and the Niger Delta, and are well placed to unravel the political and business machinations in this most complex of countries. Nigeria Focus is therefore essential reading for companies entering or operating in the country.
