NJ Ayuk

“"This will allow companies to do the big work," Ayuk said, calling for continued exploration and investment across the continent.”

“African Energy Chamber – a strategic partner for the NIEC 2026 – executive chairman NJ Ayuk described Namibia's recent exploration success as a historic shift in global perception.”

“"The excitement generated by high-impact discoveries creates a ripple effect that benefits the entire continent. I am convinced that the ongoing interest we are seeing today in African exploration and production (E&P) stems in part from the major discoveries in Namibia, alongside recent successes in Côte d'Ivoire, Angola, and Egypt", commented NJ Ayuk, executive chairman of the African Energy Chamber.”

“A 2019 article in the Mail & Guardian reported that Ayuk was convicted of fraud in the US in 2007 and investigated in Ghana for money laundering in 2015, allegations his spokesperson strongly denied.”

“Ayuk, who reports say was convicted of fraud in the United States, recently published an article urging Namibian members of parliament to pass laws promoting 'local content'.”

“Ayuk has also been advising the Ministry of Mines and Energy on industry regulations, especially policy on 'local content', which refers to laws and policies meant to ensure that Namibians participate in businesses linked to oil production.”

“Last week, the chairman of an organisation called the African Energy Chamber, NJ Ayuk, published an article urging Namibian lawmakers to seize the opportunity by implementing policies that will have the country's citizens gain from the anticipated flow of oil and gas that is scheduled from 2027.”

“Ayuk is also reported to be a convicted fraudster, although he has sought to deny the claims.”

“The Namibian has published information about Ayuk's conviction for fraud in the United States (US), which he denies.”

“Information points to Ayuk as being the same person convicted in the United States of America under the name Njock Ayuk Eyong for, among others, impersonating a lawmaker.”
