Sahara Group has called for a fundamental rethinking of how Africa approaches energy transition, infrastructure financing and energy journalism, urging stakeholders to embrace solutions that reflect the continent’s realities while building the partnerships, institutions and investments required for long-term development.
The call formed, according to a statement, the central thrust of discussions at the third edition of Asharami Square, a Sahara Group thought leadership initiative held under the theme “Energising Africa’s Future: Legacy, Impact and Transformation.”
Opening the discussions, Ejiro Gray, Director, Governance and Sustainability, Sahara Group, said the company’s Beyond XXX vision is rooted in looking ahead rather than dwelling on past accomplishments.
Gray noted that Africa’s energy future must be shaped by local realities and called for more balanced, evidence-based journalism capable of interrogating the complexities of energy transition, development and sustainability.
“Effective journalism should not only tell us what happened; it should help us understand why it matters, whose interests are affected and what perspectives are missing from the conversation.”
