GEPA Energy Leadership Academy
Close menuField notes from the Academy
The depth behind the workshops: leadership, energy markets, entrepreneurship and careers in African energy, written up from the rooms where GEPA teaches.
Africa's energy build-out is run largely by people who learned on the job. GEPA Academy exists to teach the judgement that sits around the engineering.
Organisations can sponsor staff through GEPA Academy as a cohort, map its courses to their own training programme and see every learner's progress.
A certificate is only worth what someone can check. Every GEPA credential has a public page an employer can open in one click, with no login and no PDF to trust.
Energy markets
Dr Ayodele Oni argues that gas in the ground is not energy, and that the transition changes the test for Nigerian oil and gas rather than ending the work.
Entrepreneurship
Dr Damilola Asaleye co-founded a solar company with no money of her own and one referred job. Here is how she says to choose a value chain, raise funds and hold quality.
Leadership
A well-planned project lost six months because one official was never called. Kingsley Nkemneme on influence, trust and crisis, and how to keep people with you.
Energy markets
A chartered accountant in oil and gas sets out the order he works in: understand the market, name the risks inside it, and only then decide how to invest.
Energy markets
Hydrogen is no silver bullet, and Africa should not expect to start with green. A workshop briefing on what to build first, and the data and skills it needs.
Leadership
Energy teams often use one word for three different stages of digital work. Wilson Obeneme separates them, and explains why so many digital projects in the sector stall.
Leadership
Most of what you produce reflects settings installed before you chose them. Dr Peter Emmanuel on changing them, and on routine, discipline and unlearning.
Leadership
Dr Peter Emmanuel argues that most people try to change their results from the outside. The work, he says, starts with self-awareness, identity and mindset.
Leadership
Dr Luka Satlong King, a medical doctor and pastor, argues that visible success rests on six pillars nobody sees, from vision and character to priesthood and the prophetic.
Energy markets
Much of Nigeria is off the gas pipeline. A CNG sales lead explains why power pulls gas through, how it moves by road, and where professionals can play.
