Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo, has been recognized by the African Energy Chamber (AEC) as one of the “Top 40 Movers and Shakers to Watch in 2025.”

The accolade highlights Alweendo’s pivotal role in shaping Namibia’s burgeoning oil industry and advancing the country’s energy future, placing him among the most influential figures in Africa’s energy sector.

The annual list, announced by AEC Executive Chairman NJ Ayuk, celebrates leaders, innovators, and policymakers driving transformative change across the continent’s energy landscape.

“This list represents Africa’s brightest minds and boldest leaders. From driving infrastructure projects to creating enabling policies, these figures embody the resilience and innovation required to propel Africa’s energy transformation,” Ayuk said.

The 2025 lineup includes prominent figures such as former U.S. President Donald Trump, whose foreign policy and fossil fuel advocacy are poised to influence U.S.-Africa energy ties.

African leaders like Mozambique’s President Daniel Francisco Chapo and Ghana’s President John Mahama were also spotlighted for their contributions to advancing liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and reforming energy policies to attract sustainable investments.

Other notable names include South Sudan’s Petroleum Minister Puot Kang Chol, navigating sanctions to revitalize oil production, and Uganda’s Minister of Energy Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu, overseeing multi-billion-dollar initiatives like the Tilenga and Kingfisher projects.

Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources Diamantino Azevedo was commended for his efforts in positioning the country as a leader in low-carbon energy strategies.

North Africa’s energy leaders are also making waves. Libya’s Oil Minister Dr. Khalifa Abdulsadek is driving ambitious licensing initiatives, while Algeria’s Sonatrach CEO Rachid Hachichi is leading significant gas agreements with global players, cementing the region’s role in global energy security.

Leaders like Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi are spearheading low-carbon projects in the Ivory Coast, Congo, and Libya, while Katrina Fisher of ExxonMobil Angola and Jean-Michel Jacoulot of Trident Energy are revitalizing mature fields. Meg O’Neill of Woodside Energy is transforming Senegal’s energy landscape through the development of the Sangomar oil field.

Innovators such as Ahonsi Unuigbe of Petralon Energy and Nosa Omorodion of SLB Nigeria are leveraging acquisitions to drive Nigeria’s energy transition. In Angola, Edson dos Santos of Etu Energias is advancing plans for a landmark IPO in 2026, while Philippe Labonne of Africa Global Logistics is enhancing infrastructure across the continent.

AEC Chairman Ayuk emphasized the significance of these leaders’ roles in overcoming industry challenges and driving sustainable growth.

“They have numerous responsibilities and obligations. We must encourage them to deliver on initiatives that will create jobs, develop Africa, ensure energy security, and make energy poverty history,” he said.
