President Bola Tinubu is billed to attend the Africa heads of state energy summit between January 27 and 28 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
In a statement on Saturday, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to
the president on media and strategy, said Tinubu would leave Abuja for the
capital of Tanzania on Sunday.
The summit is hosted by the government of Tanzania in collaboration
with the African Development Bank Group and the World Bank.
Onanuga said during the summit, African leaders, the private
sector, development partners, and civil society groups would discuss on ways to
accelerate energy access across the continent.
“The summit will provide a platform for sharing knowledge,
expertise, and resources to address Africa’s energy challenges,” he said.
“Discussions will focus on accelerating energy access in
underserved regions, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and mobilising
private sector investment.
“On the first day, at the ministerial level, participating
countries, including Nigeria, will present their national energy strategies,
termed compacts, detailing their approaches to achieving universal energy
access within five years.
“On the second day, Heads of State will endorse the Dar es
Salaam Energy Declaration, outlining a unified roadmap for Africa’s progress
towards the Mission 300 objectives.
“President Tinubu will deliver a national statement
reaffirming Nigeria’s commitment to achieving universal access to energy and
its leadership role in Africa’s energy sector.”
Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, minister of state for foreign
affairs; Adebayo Adelabu, minister of power; and Olu Verheijen, special adviser
to the president on energy, will accompany the president on the trip.
