Stakeholders in the Niger Delta region have advocated for the democratisation of energy in Nigeria, insisting that it is cheaper and will be affordable by all Nigerians irrespective of their status and background.
He explained that the democratisation of energy would mean sourcing different ways of generating power, which will contribute positively to the growth of the country’s economy. “The issue of energy and climate are intertwined because the activities that result to the incidence of climate change mostly from Nigeria is the incidence of fossil fuel extraction. The bi-product of fossil fuel in terms of gas is being burnt off through the incidence of gas flaring for instance, and this creates enormous greenhouse emission that contributes to climate impact or climate change.
