The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has emphasised the need to build a cleaner and more resilient energy future for Nigeria.
He made this known at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Energy Commission of Nigeria, China Energy Engineering Corporation Ltd, and the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in Abuja.
According to Nnaji, the partnership reflects their shared ambition to expand access to clean energy, strengthen energy planning at the state level, and promote sustainable technologies—initiatives aligned with the National Energy Master Plan and the country’s broader development goals.
Chairman of China Energy Engineering Corporation, Dr Song Hai Liang, stated that the agreement covers the implementation of Nigeria’s National Energy Master Plan, the establishment of energy planning and implementation teams at the state and local levels, and the creation of the China-Nigeria Green Energy Research Centre.
