Electricity Hub (TEH), a division of think tank Nextier, will present Empowering Nigeria’s Energy Revolution by Winifred Ounna at the 100th Electricity Dialogue in November 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement published on Punch Online on Thursday titled “Nectia to launch book on Nigeria’s energy revolution in November”.
According to the announcement, this is a bold move to address Nigeria’s ongoing energy crisis.
Ounna’s book, which has already attracted attention from key figures such as former Minister of Power Professor Osita Nebo, who wrote the foreword, explores Nigeria’s energy challenges and the way forward.
Owna draws on his experience in both the UK and Nigeria to contrast the two markets. “In the UK, a stable regulatory framework supports innovation and the transition to renewable energy. Nigeria, on the other hand, is heavily reliant on fossil fuels and has an inconsistent regulatory environment, allowing for investment and modernization. is becoming difficult.”
This book is a wide-ranging study of the world’s energy system, highlighting the missed opportunities that have held Nigeria back.
“This experience made me think about the challenges we faced and the missed opportunities that have allowed us to continue this cycle,” Owner said.
A personal tragedy further deepened her commitment to energy reform.
“I lost a loved one to electricity inefficiency in a Nigerian hospital. It was heartbreaking and exposed the devastating consequences of unreliable energy access,” she said.
This loss inspired her to further explore renewable energy and sustainable technologies in the UK, with a focus on solutions for Nigeria.
Driving Nigeria’s Energy Revolution provides a roadmap for Nigeria’s transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and highlights the urgency of sustainable development.
According to Owner, this transition is “not just an option, it’s a necessity.”
The book’s launch in November will spark important debate about the future of Nigeria’s energy sector and provide a compelling vision to address long-standing challenges.
