CAMAC Interests, Inc. was founded in 1986 as an agricultural commodities business that traded barley, tobacco and other grains from the United States to countries in West Africa. The name CAMAC is an acronym of the Cameroon-American Company, which reflects the location of the company’s first successful commodities trade. Dr. Kase L. Lawal, CAMAC’s International Corporation’s Chairman and CEO and chemical engineer, re-tooled CAMAC International from an agricultural trading enterprise into an affiliated group of companies that focus exclusively on energy production and related services.

In the 1990s, Allied Energy Corporation and Allied Energy Resources Nigeria Limited – the oil exploration and production affiliates of CAMAC International - quickly developed the knowledge and the capacity to explore for hydrocarbon resources in the highly competitive offshore West African market and throughout the world. Thereafter, CAMAC International and its affiliated group of companies experienced phenomenal growth.

Two decades later, CAMAC International’s search for energy resources and investments has taken group affiliates to Russia, Ghana, South Africa, Colombia, Malaysia, Great Britain, Congo, United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Ireland, Angola, and Kenya. However, no matter where CAMAC operates in the world, the CAMAC International name represents a commitment to excellence. Our employees are drawn from the best and the brightest and have an international outlook on the world. CAMAC International provides added value for our transactional partners, who benefit from our unique global perspective on Nigeria, the world’s eleventh largest oil-producing nation, and from the strong networks and relationships we’ve established around the world.
