President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, in Abuja, called for an equitable balance between fossil fuel and green energy in the race for energy transition.
He also urged the United States and other developed nations not to forget Nigeria and Africa’s challenge with poverty as the world transitions into clean energy.
The Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy, Dele Alake, disclosed this in a statement he signed on Monday titled, ‘President Tinubu seeks better cooperation with us over energy transition.’ “Nigeria is an oil producing nation and a developing economy that needs revenue from fossil fuel for growth and development,” he argued.
Therefore, Tinubu appealed to the United States and other developed nations to recognize that Nigeria and Africa have a challenge of poverty that must be addressed, saying in the race for energy transition, the world must have a right balance between the fossil fuel and green energy.
