The Federal Government on Wednesday charged other governments in Africa to join hands in rescuing the continent from its current abject energy poverty.

Sylva told the oil companies’ CEOs and ministers of African countries that energy transition was all about providing clean energy and not about discriminating between energy sources.

“All available energy sources will be required to end the high level of energy poverty in Africa and achive the sustainable development goal of providing access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all,” he stated. Oil company representatives and energy ministers from Angola, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Niger and Nigeria were in attendance.

“You should use this opportunity to deliberate on how we can harness our financial resources and accelerate technology development to face the global energy transition onslaught,” Sylva told delegates at the meeting. He added, “We need to develop cross-border infrastructure and expand regional energy market to guarantee long-term energy security. I have no doubt that the future of Africa’s oil and gas industry is still bright, despite the global energy transition uptake. You are central to making this a reality. Don’t fail us.”All rights reserved.
