President Bola Tinubu has tasked the newly inaugurated World Energy Council (WEC) Nigeria leadership with positioning the country as a leading voice in global energy affairs and ensuring that Africa’s perspectives shape international energy decisions.
Tinubu gave the charge while welcoming Nigeria’s formal admission as the newest National Member Committee of the WEC, describing the development as a proud moment for the country and a strong vote of confidence in its energy reforms and leadership role in Africa.
The President, in a statement issued on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Nigeria’s entry into the century-old global energy network of more than 100 countries would enable the country to play a more active role in shaping global discussions on energy security, equity and sustainability.
“Nigeria has joined the World Energy Council to lead, not just participate – to ensure Africa’s voice shapes global energy decisions,” Tinubu said.
