Nigeria stakeholders urge review of investment treaties over energy transition arbitration risks

Stakeholders at a Port Harcourt roundtable called on Nigeria's Federal Government to reform its investment treaties, warning that current provisions could expose the country to costly arbitration linked to environmental regulation, fossil fuel investments, and oil asset divestments. The demand reflects growing tension between energy transition policies and legacy investment protections. The outcome is uncertain, but the push signals potential policy shifts affecting foreign investors in Nigeria's oil and gas sector.
