World Energy Council Nigeria serves as the Nigerian National Committee of the globally respected World Energy Council, a United Nations-accredited organization with a presence in more than 100 countries. The Council provides a platform for collaboration among governments, industry leaders, researchers, investors, and policymakers to shape the future of energy.


Dr. Wunti, a distinguished energy executive and reform advocate, brings over three decades of experience across Nigeria’s upstream, midstream, and downstream energy sectors. Before assuming his current role, he held several strategic positions within NNPC Limited, where he championed reforms that attracted investments, improved operational efficiency, and strengthened Nigeria’s energy landscape.

Under his leadership, the organization aims to become Nigeria’s foremost platform for strategic energy dialogue, international cooperation, and evidence-based policy development.


His leadership has already attracted widespread recognition from stakeholders within and outside Nigeria. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu described him as one of Nigeria’s finest energy strategists and reform champions, noting his contributions to restoring investor confidence and advancing the nation’s energy sector.


Industry observers believe that Dr. Wunti’s appointment will strengthen Nigeria’s voice in global energy discussions while promoting practical solutions to the country’s energy challenges. His emphasis on balancing energy security, accessibility, and environmental sustainability reflects a pragmatic approach to achieving inclusive economic growth and long-term national development.


As Nigeria continues its journey toward a resilient and sustainable energy future, the leadership of Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti at the World Energy Council Nigeria stands as a symbol of competence, vision, and commitment to national progress. His stewardship is expected to inspire stronger partnerships, attract strategic investments, and reinforce Nigeria’s position as a leading energy nation in Africa and beyond.
