The Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) is the successor to the Society of Geologists and Geophysicists, Lagos (SGGL), an earlier gathering of petroleum earth scientists in Lagos, Nigeria, in the mid-1970s. The SGGL itself was the brainchild of a young Mobil geologist, Akomeno Oteri, who got the idea from visiting Dallas and attending the monthly meeting of SEG there.

DL Abstract

Climate change is not only happening in the atmosphere but also in the anthroposphere; in some ways the former could drive or exacerbate the latter, with extreme weather excursions and extreme excursions from societal norms occurring all over the earth. Accomplishing geoscience for a common goal – whether that is for successful business activities, resource assessment for public planning, mitigating the impacts of geological hazards, or for the sheer love of furthering knowledge and understanding – can and should be done by a workforce that is equitably developed and supported. Difficulty arises when the value of institutional programs to increase equity and diversity is not realized.
