The Federal Government, currently targeting to generate about 30 per cent of electricity needs from renewable energy, yesterday, said clean energy remained the fastest way to tackle energy poverty in the country.

Millions of Nigerians are without electricity despite the country’s energy resources, even as 427,000 MW is estimated to be generated in the country from solar alone.

Speaking at REA Town Hall Meeting and Management Retreat, Agba submitted: “Renewable energy is the solution to bridge the electricity gap in the nation quickly, which is why we plan to continue to optimise it while drawing in quality investments and private sector participation in the space.” Managing Director of REA, Ahmad Salihijo, said millions of houses, streets and educational institutions have been energised with jobs and business opportunities created.
