Vice President Kashim Shettima has said that full implementation of the energy transition is challenging in Nigeria. He, however, advocated for the rapid scaling up of energy production to enhance Nigerians' economic transformation. Shettima disclosed this on Friday at the Energy Transition symposium titled 'Energy Transition in an Oil-Dependent Economy' in Abuja.
'The energy transition plan is very clear on the need for Nigeria to become a net zero economy by 2060, as it does so with a critical realisation that we must maximise our petroleum resources in the short term. 'This is to provide the base load energy that will turbo charge, particularly the strong government drive to push hydrocarbon investments up to 2030. 'This administration has already made several notable interventions within its first year in office.
