Nigeria would soon begin to reap the benefits of renewable energy, Chairman, Security, Climate Change and Special Interventions Committee of the North East Development Commission, Sam Onuigbo, has said.
In a statement on Sunday, he said: “The subsequent enactment of the Electricity Act 2023 with provisions for off-grid and mini-grid generation and distribution of power are game changers. In all these, the President Ahmed Bola Tinubu administration has shown courage and direction. While emphasising the potential of Nigeria’s energy market of 90 million underserved people, Ounigbo who was a member of the 8th and 9th National Assembly, disclosed that he was able to put those indices out to the world through the series of interventions he made during the 14th IRENA Assembly.
