On the road to a cleaner, energized Nigeria... Nigeria, with its abundant natural resources, including oil and gas, is actively addressing the challenges of transitioning to clean energy. Various policies and initiatives such as The Renewable Energy Roadmap for Nigeria, developed in collaboration with the Energy Commission of Nigeria, are laudable campaigns by the Federal Government towards achieving additional renewable energy deployment potential up to 2050. Moreso, the recent attractiveness of natural gas lies in the inherent low-carbon features that make it relatively “clean” and less expensive in comparison to fossil fuels. Adopting natural gas as a transitionary fuel with a viable pathway to greener future solutions has potential to foster billions of dollars in gross value added to the local economy. In addition to exporting natural gas to the global market, supporting domestic markets through investments in gas production and local distribution infrastructure is critical to achieving Nigeria’s energy transition goals. With the Nigerian government implementing several energy policies and programmes over the last decade, the next couple of decades present a unique opportunity for foreign capital providers to enter a market that is abundant in energy resources, has a capable workforce, and according to the Nigeria Energy Transition Plan, is enabled by government to foster trillions of dollars in energy investments by 2060. This acceleration, however, requires in-depth policy coordination and harmonization to streamline existing and new government-related energy transition legislation.
