It featured keynote presentations, awards, a panel discussion, and breakout sessions covering topics such as digital transformation in procurement, supplier performance improvement, and sustainability in supply chain operations.

In attendance were strategic partners, suppliers, industry stakeholders, and Aradel leadership to foster a deeper collaboration and promote supply chain excellence.

“As a company, we believe that quality and technology are no longer just support functions — they are core to sustainable growth, performance, and long-term value creation.

“As we welcome our partners to the second edition of the annual Suppliers Forum, we reaffirm our commitment to co-creating value through innovation, collaboration, and a shared dedication to excellence. Together, we can unlock value across the entire supply chain,” the Head of Supply Chain Management at Aradel Holdings, Mr Chukwuma Nkwodinmah, said.

In his presentation, the Director of New Business at H-PTP Energy Services, Mr Frank Uchenna Ndulue, gave an overview of how technology had been used to maximise production and reduce challenges in the operations, while the Managing Director of C2G Consulting, Mr Micheal Ukpong, described how digitalisation is changing the energy industry, and commended Aradel for leading the way in digital transformation, urging suppliers to embrace the SAP Ariba system, which allows direct supplier and contract management.
