Prof. Osinbajo is leading Nigeria’s Energy Transition Implementation Working Group (ETWG) on the US mission with meetings starting from Thursday, September 1 to promote the plan and secure global support from the US government, the private sector, and other development partners.

According to a statement by Osinbajo’s media aide, Laolu Akande, he said the ETWG, which is chaired by the VP comprises relevant ministers and other top government officials.

Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan officially launched last week at a global virtual event is a homegrown, data-backed and multi-pronged strategy developed for the attainment of 2060 net-zero emissions commitment in five critical sectors – Power, Cooking, Oil & Gas, Transport & Industry. Nigeria needs $410 billion to deliver the Transition Plan by 2060.

Among other highlights, the plan needs at least $10 billion per annum above business-as-usual spending for effective implementation.
