HON. MINISTER OF INNOVATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (FMIST), CHIEF UCHE GEOFFREY NNAJI AT THE MINISTERIAL INAUGURATION OF THE NATIONAL ENERGY MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE (NEMiC) IN ABUJA
18TH SEPTEMBER, 2025.

FG Inaugurates National Energy Masterplan Implementation Committee, Sets Bold Course for Clean Energy Future

Yesterday in Abuja, I had the honor of officially inaugurating the National Energy Masterplan Implementation Committee (NEMiC)—a major step in our collective effort to reposition Nigeria’s energy sector for the future.
The National Energy Masterplan (NEMP) is more than a policy document; it is a comprehensive framework that will guide our country’s transition to clean, reliable, and affordable energy. With this inauguration, we are now moving into full implementation, mobilizing funding, and investing in projects that will transform access to power for households, industries, and communities.

NEMiC will oversee renewable and new energy initiatives across solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and other emerging technologies, while also operationalizing the National Energy Fund to scale domestic infrastructure and efficiency projects.

I reminded members of the Committee that this is not about research for shelves—it is about real impact. Every action we take must move Nigeria closer to energy security, economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability.

The inauguration was attended by a distinguished gathering of stakeholders—development partners, financial institutions, private investors, international organizations, traditional leaders, and technical experts—whose presence reaffirmed that the journey ahead is shared and supported.

To the Committee members, led by @Dr_A_Mustapha, DG/CEO of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, I charge you to fast-track solutions that will define Nigeria’s energy trajectory for decades to come.

The decisions we make today will shape the future of our nation tomorrow. Together, let us deliver a cleaner, more inclusive, and more sustainable energy future for Nigeria.

As we step into this new week, let us anchor our purpose in innovation, collaboration, and purposeful leadership.

Every great transformation begins with intention. In the spirit of our Renewed Hope Agenda and our nation’s collective ambition, I encourage each of us to rise to the occasion; whether you lead a team, educate young minds, or build tomorrow through everyday work.

Let's make this week count. Let's innovate with impact. And let us build, not just for today, but for generations to come.

Have a productive Monday and a transformative week ahead, Nigeria. 🇳🇬

As we begin a new week, let’s draw inspiration from one of our nation’s most resilient crops—cassava.

At #WorldCassavaDay2025 that held last week, we celebrated cassava not just as food, but as a powerful engine for innovation, youth enterprise, and global trade.

Through science, technology, and bold policy, we’re transforming agriculture into a hub of opportunity—from farm to global markets.

In the same vein, let's look at those things we consider common around us and transform it into global solutions.

Have a productive week ahead! 🇳🇬🌱

🇳🇬🌱 Today on #WorldCassavaDay2025, we spotlight cassava as more than a staple—it’s a catalyst for jobs, exports, and industrial growth.

Through @FMISTng, we’re investing in R&D, smart tech hubs, and digital tools to unlock cassava’s full value chain.

With the Renewed Hope Agenda plan, we’re not just growing cassava, we’re building prosperity around it.

Africa must not watch the space economy from the sidelines.

At the #AfricaSpaceEconomy Conference, I called for bold investment, collaboration & innovation to position Africa as a global player in space tech.

The future is above us—let’s reach for it. 🚀🌍
