L’Organisation des Producteurs Africains de P\u00e9trole (APPO) a lanc\u00e9 un appel pressant \u00e0 ses pays membres pour qu’ils honorent leurs engagements financiers en vue de la cr\u00e9ation de la Banque Africaine de l’\u00c9nergie (AEB), une premi\u00e8re institution financi\u00e8re de ce type sur le continent.<\/p>\n
It is important to remember that Nigeria was recently chosen to host the headquarters of this bank, which will be located in Abuja, the country's capital.<\/p>\n
Pour garantir la mise en op\u00e9ration de la banque, le secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’APPO, M. Farouk Ibrahim, a sollicit\u00e9 les contributions financi\u00e8res des pays membres, s’\u00e9levant \u00e0 83 millions de dollars, n\u00e9cessaires pour le lancement de la banque pr\u00e9vu en septembre 2024.<\/p>\n
Cet appel a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9 lors de la 18e r\u00e9union ordinaire du conseil d’administration de l’APPO \u00e0 Brazzaville, en R\u00e9publique du Congo, o\u00f9 est situ\u00e9 le si\u00e8ge de l’organisation, selon un communiqu\u00e9 officiel sign\u00e9 par le secr\u00e9taire permanent du minist\u00e8re du P\u00e9trole, M. Nicholas Ella.<\/p>\n
\"We comply with the resolutions adopted by the APPO Council of Ministers last week. We will redouble our efforts to ensure that the necessary funds are raised to launch the African Energy Bank,\" said Mr Ibrahim.<\/p>\n
Il a \u00e9galement r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que les pays producteurs de p\u00e9trole membres avaient officiellement communiqu\u00e9 avec le gouvernement nig\u00e9rian pour discuter des mesures acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9es n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 l’\u00e9tablissement de la banque.<\/p>\n
\"On Friday 5 July, we sent an official communication to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We will be discussing the speed of preparation of the bank's building and the finalisation of the headquarters agreement for signature. We have already obtained one signature from a member country for the establishment agreement. We need a further signature to move forward,\" said Mr Ibrahim.<\/p>\n
Expressing President Bola Tinubu's gratitude to the Member States for their unwavering support and confidence in Nigeria's bid to host the bank, Mr Ella, who led the Nigerian delegation, reiterated his commitment to the continental bloc's ideals of enhancing energy security in Africa.<\/p>\n
\"The meeting of the 18 APPO member countries in Brazzaville demonstrates our collective commitment to promoting unity, cooperation and sustainable development within the African energy sector\", emphasised Mr Ella.<\/p>\n
He reaffirmed Nigeria's determination to work with other members to meet the financial needs of the African energy sector by financing oil and gas projects.<\/p>\n
Mr Ella urged member countries to harness the collective strength of the continent's nations to build a brighter, more prosperous future for Africa.<\/p>\n
\"Together, we will create an institution that will meet the financial needs of our energy projects and promote sustainable development, environmental stewardship and economic inclusion across Africa\", he added.<\/p>\n

Les repr\u00e9sentants des \u00c9tats membres de l’APPO ont convenu que la banque \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique comblerait les lacunes de financement du secteur. M. Ibe Kachikwu, ancien ministre d’\u00c9tat nig\u00e9rian des Ressources p\u00e9troli\u00e8res, a propos\u00e9 un plan d\u00e9cennal pour le secteur de l’\u00e9nergie afin d’encourager une \u00ab \u00e8re ouverte \u00bb \u00e0 l’investissement. Kachikwu a conseill\u00e9 \u00e0 l’APPO d’\u00e9largir la base de capital de la banque \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique avant de r\u00e9aliser des investissements.<\/p>\n
