    Nigeria’s erratic power supply can be addressed by setting clear goals for achieving sustainable energy, according to the Centre for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Transitions (CREST).

    Speaking during the maiden international conference on renewal and sustainable energy systems organised by CREST, at the Bayero University Kano, President elect of the Nigerian Academy of Sciences(NAS), Emeritus Prof. Abubakar Sambo, emphasized the need for political will and determination to utilize Nigeria’s abundant renewable energy resources.

    He highlighted that countries like Ghana, IMG 20241016 WA0144Cape Verde, and Kenya, which have demonstrated enhanced political will in the electricity sector, resulting in greater electricity access. These countries set clear goals for megawatt production, identified sources to supply the megawatts, and created a conducive environment for investors.

    Nigeria’s current reliance on fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, contributes to pollution, climate change, and energy insecurity. In contrast, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass offer negligible greenhouse gas emissions and can boost energy supply, create jobs, and promote sustainability .

    In his remarks, CREST director, prof. Nasiru Isa said the conference brought experts from across the world to brainstorm on alternative and renewable energy requirements, generation and supply.

    He explained that the energy crisis in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, is severe as they are struggling to meet the global requirement for energy per capita.

    He said discussions would explore green sources of energy, including solar energy, biomass (waste energy), and nuclear energy, which are all considered a net zero carbon emitters and cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels, among others

    By adopting these strategies, Nigeria can transition towards a sustainable energy future, addressing its energy crisis and promoting economic growth,
