The Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba, has assured Nigerians of the country’s readiness to participate in the forthcoming COP26 United Nations UN conference on climate change.
Jedy-Agba said this at the Nigeria Energy Forum NEF 2021 virtual conference with the theme: “Powering a Sustainable Industrial Revolution.”
2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, is scheduled to hold in the city of Glasgow, Scotland from October 13th to November 12th.
Jedy-Agba said that over 25 million Nigerians who were facing energy challenges had resulted to using solar home systems and mini-grids.
The minister said that Nigeria would seek to align its position along an energy transition that was equitable, inclusive and just.
He reiterated that “a just energy transition for Nigeria will feature both clean energy technologies and natural gas, with the aim of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.”
