President Bola Tinubu has welcomed the formal admission of Nigeria as the newest national member committee of the World Energy Council (WEC). He described the milestone as a proud moment for the nation and a strong vote of confidence in Nigeria’s energy reforms and leadership role in Africa.
Strategic Energy Reforms and Global Influence
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, stated on Friday that the President views Nigeria’s entry into the century-old global network of more than 100 countries as a strategic move. This position enables the nation to actively shape global discourse on energy security, equity, and sustainability.
Nigeria officially renewed its participation in the World Energy Council through the inauguration of a new national member committee and governing board in August 2026. This renewed membership is expected to boost international collaboration, attract sustainable investments, and influence global energy policy ahead of the World Energy Congress scheduled for April 2027.
