Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that the current global energy transition is both an opportunity for the preservation of the earth and a vehicle for unlocking the development potential and livelihoods of millions of people, especially those in developing countries, IgbereTV reports
However, the vice president is of the opinion that the transition must also be fair and sensitive to Africa’s peculiarities and priorities.
Professor Osinbajo disclosed this on Wednesday when he spoke virtually at the 2022 Standard Bank Climate Summit themed, “Africa’s Path to Carbon Neutrality.”
Osinbajo focused on “how to manage the energy transition to net-zero in the context of Africa’s unique challenges, such as energy poverty.”
