The African Energy Chamber expresses profound sorrow and extends heartfelt condolences to the people of Namibia on the passing of H.E. Dr. Hage G. Geingob, President of the Republic of Namibia.
President Geingob was a visionary leader who played a crucial role in advancing the energy sector and fostering the socio-economic development of his people. His unwavering commitment to the well-being of Namibians has left an indelible mark on the nation, where his leadership has maintained peace, stability and will be remembered for its momentous traction in the delivery of prosperity for generations to come.
Mr. NJ Ayuk, Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, said, President Geingob made significant strides in the energy sector, “We mourn the loss of a true statesman and a dedicated leader. President Geingob’s strides in the energy sector were instrumental in positioning Namibia as a key player in the region. His vision for sustainable energy development and commitment to the welfare of his people have set a benchmark for leadership.”
President Geingob’s leadership was characterised by a deep understanding of the energy sector’s role in driving economic growth and ensuring energy security. His efforts to attract investments, promote local content, and implement progressive policies have contributed significantly to Namibia’s energy landscape. The President’s initiatives and policies have played a pivotal role in fostering a conducive environment for investments in the energy sector, contributing to the economic advancement of Namibia.
President Geingob’s legacy extends beyond the energy sector; he was a liberation struggle icon, the chief architect of Namibia’s constitution, and a pillar of the Namibian development strategy. The imprint he left on the nation and the continent will endure for a long time to come.
As we reflect on the achievements of President Geingob, the African Energy Chamber stands in solidarity with the people of Namibia during this challenging time. We have complete confidence that the nation will continue to uphold its robust institutions, efficient processes, and effective systems, maintaining Namibia’s hallmark of stability and smooth transitions of power in the political arena. We join the nation in mourning the loss of a leader whose legacy will continue to inspire progress in the energy sector and beyond.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Madame Monica Geingos, the Geingob family, the entire Namibian nation, and the rest of the African continent during this period of deep mourning.
May the soul of H.E. Dr. Hage G. Geingob rest in eternal peace.
