Billions at Play
It is an honor to provide the foreword for this book. I agree with the points madeand with Ayuks case for the critical role that OPEC will play in helping African oil producers achieve a much-deserved voice in the petroleum industry. Yes, one could argue that Ayuk is a dreamer. However, he has taken the time to develop a detailed roadmap for realizing that dream. Its up to each of us to take the time to read it and to play a part in making his dream of petroleum-fueled economic growth, stability, and improved quality of life happen for Africa.
Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo,
OPEC Secretary General
In the chapter entitled Abundant, Accessible, Affordable: The Golden Age of Natural Gas Shines in Africa, Ayuk correctly identifies the benefits of natural gas, especially as the world looks for ways to lower CO2 emissions.
Jeff Goodrich,
Former CEO of OneLNG
The answer to Africas utility woes can be found in Ayuks book. For example, not everyone is willing to assert that Africa will never achieve its full potential if it cannot power its industries, services, or households. Ayuks chapter isnt all doom and gloom, [however,] Ayuk calls it like it is.
Dr. Thabo Kgogo,
Former CEO of Efora Energy Limited
NJ Ayuk is right to call upon African governments to do their share in making Africa appealing to American exploration and production companies. I hope American companies will see that Africa still has a lot to offer in terms of economic returns.
H. Daniel Hogan,
CEO and General Manager of Lukoil International Upstream West
Ayuk sees the irony in oil and gas produced in Africa being sent away to be refined, then returned as finished products that Africans pay a premium for. Africa is exporting raw materials it could be refining and processing, if it only had the capabilities, but not everyone is willing to admit that with the level of candor Ayuk does.
Bruce Falkenstein,
Joint Operations Manager,
License Management & Compliance for LUKOIL
NJ Ayuk is a champion of African commerce, and thats clear in his new book. In chapter 9, he presents an unvarnished view of corruptions negative effect on Africas business environment. His message is something anyone who is doing business there, or wants to, should hear.
Sergio Pugliese,
President for Angola African Energy Chamber
Ayuk sees opportunity all around him, and he realizes that appropriate development will solve many of the continents challenges, including power generation.
Ann Norman,
Pioneer Energys General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa
Ayuk goes beyond acknowledging this cycle of mismanagement and corruption. He also gives us ideas for breaking it. I can see how some of his ideas for oil money revenue will be considered controversial, but I hope, at least, that they trigger productive dialogue. We cant continue as we are.
Akere Muna,
Former Vice Chairman of Transparency International

The late Nelson Mandela famously said, A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.
NJ Ayuk is precisely the type of dreamer Mr. Mandela was speaking about.
In this book, Ayuk lays out his commitment to putting African countries on the path to a prosperous future. The key, Ayuk tells us, is a concerted effort by African leaders, businesses, and individuals to ensure that the continent realizes the full potential of its vast petroleum wealth.
As the CEO of a thriving pan-African law group known for its oil and gas expertise, Ayuk is somewhat of an expert on this topic. His industry insights and talent as a deal-maker have earned the respect and trust of OPEC member countriesalong with opportunities to negotiate on our organizations behalf.
Whats more, Ayuk has invested his own time and resources into showing the way: He started by founding the African Energy Chamber and co-writing Big Barrels: African Oil and Gas and the Quest for Prosperity, a book that showcases African countries that are successfully harnessing their petroleum resources.
In this book, Ayuk builds on what he started in Big Barrels, encouraging Africans to use their continents petroleum resources to seize control of their own destinies.
Perhaps most importantly, though, the book does not shy away from potentially controversial ideas. Although he dreams of African oil success, he is fully aware of the obstacles to that success and makes a strong case for bringing more women into the industry, particularly executive roles. Ayuk also takes African governments and companies to task in the areas where they fall short, from the unfair distribution of oil wealth to poor governance that violates the people of Africa.
Ayuk is straightforward in his assessment of Africas inefficient power grid and the ineffective leadership of its energy companies, advocating for the unbundling of utilities as a way for the continent to take control of its future. In addition, he calls for a cultural shift that will enable oil and gas companies to transition to energy businesses that will invest in renewables in Africa.
He also addresses the very real problem of gas flaring in my native country, Nigeria, where natural gas could be harnessed to provide long-overdue access to reliable electricity for large segments of the population.
In his latest edition of Billions at Play, Ayuk frankly describes the devastating impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Africas economy, from ravaged government budgets to postponed licensing rounds. Once again, he calls upon African governments to do their part to safeguard Africas vital oil and gas industry and ensure its success. As always, Ayuk doesnt shy away from Africas challenges. Instead, he urges leaders and decision-makers to get to work addressing themand provides specific ideas to help them succeed.
It is an honor to provide the foreword for this book. I agree with the points madeand with Ayuks case for the critical role that OPEC will play in helping African oil producers achieve a much-deserved voice in the petroleum industry.
Yes, one could argue that Ayuk is a dreamer. However, he has taken the time to develop a detailed roadmap for realizing that dream. Its up to each of us to take the time to read it and to play a part in making his dream of petroleum-fueled economic growth, stability, and improved quality of life happen for Africa.
