The conference has its theme as “Energy Transition and Climate Change Policy: Pathway for Sustainable Development in Africa”.

 

Gusau, represented by Mr Jide Adebulehin, General Manager, Strategy Planning and Documentation, PTDF said 2022 theme was an important topic being discussed around the world.

 

He added that it was evident that some of the longer-term impacts of climate change in Africa included changing rainfall patterns which affected agriculture and food security, worsening water security and increase in poverty.
Therefore, he said it was very clear that for Africa to thrive, it needed to be in the forefront of the fight against climate change.
“Consequently, it is our opinion that some African countries are rising to the challenge and have robust plans in place to finance this transition from its hydrocarbon resources.
“This strategy is necessary because most countries with abundant hydrocarbon resources, would have to completely overhaul their energy mix, especially in the transportation and industrial sectors of the economy to meet Net Zero emission target by 2050, in-line with targets set by International Energy Agency (IEA),” he said.
He said that it was evident that the exploitation of hydrocarbon would play an important role in shaping Africa’s energy future as well as its quest to meet its developmental aspirations.
He explained that Nigeria was being faced with numerous challenges resulting from the impacts of climate change seen in rising temperatures, inconsistent rain patterns, flooding, drought, and polluted freshwater resources.
“And one of the most important steps, the present administration took towards the actualisation of this transition was the declaration of a “Decade of Gas’’ in 2020.
“This laudable initiative serves as an opportunity to optimise the nation’s gas derivatives and deepen its market participation via infrastructure development and diversify into petrochemical products,” he added.
In an address, Prof. Yinka Omorogbe, NAEE President, said that decisive action was needed to provide access to clean energy for those presently living without it.
Omorogbe said renewables were probably were probably the primary hope for the 50 per cent of Nigerians present great potential for off-grid communities in Nigeria and other African countries.
