The Nigerian Society of Petroleum Engineers (NSPE) and My-Ace China, a real estate investor, have formed a partnership to promote activities related to cleaner energy.
China, also known as the Mayor of Housing, disclosed this yesterday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital while speaking at the annual general meeting of the NSPE.
NSPE frontline member Patrick Ezenaji explained the partnership, saying the sustainable development goal (SDG)-17 is all about partnership.
Ezenaji said: “Interestingly, the Housing Mayor is very interested in generating clean energy in housing and real estate.
“The partnership will harness young minds who are innovative thinkers to collaborate with the Mayor of Housing so we can solve that housing problem in Africa and the world.”
He stated that the partnership would attempt to solve the energy crisis by utilising renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro.
Ezenaji, who is also the Students Affairs Assistant Co-Chair for the 2024/25 session of the association, said the best place to test the results could be in new housing estates.
The expert said his work with the students, “My passion for empowering students brought me to this position. In this era of energy crisis, I am empowered to enlighten the students more on Sustainable Development Goal-7, which is all about harnessing and generating clean energy to help eradicate climate change.”
