President Bola Tinubu, has welcomed the formal admission of Nigeria as the newest National Member Committee of the World Energy Council (WEC), describing it as a proud moment for the nation and a strong vote of confidence in Nigeria’s energy reforms and leadership role in Africa.
The President said Nigeria’s entry into the century-old global network of over 100 countries positions the country to more actively shape global discourse on energy security, equity and sustainability.
President Tinubu congratulated the inaugural leadership of WEC Nigeria – Mr Abdulrazaq Isa, OFR, as Chairman and Mr Bala Wunti as Chief Executive Officer – alongside other distinguished Nigerians drawn from across the energy value chain, regulatory institutions, industry associations, finance, academia and the Future Energy Leaders community, who will serve as inaugural Board members.
He described Mr Isa as a distinguished patriot and trailblazing industrialist whose pioneering investments in indigenous refining and industrial energy have opened a new frontier for Nigerian enterprise.
