S8EP4 with Ehireme Alexis Uddin — Nigeria's Green Energy Transition: Climate Finance, Oil & Poverty

Alexis is a PhD researcher at SOAS University of London whose work examines the state of climate change and climate finance in Nigeria and the role of institutions in ensuring climate governance is effective and equitable. Her work sits at the intersection of climate finance, climate governance, and development policy.

In this episode, Alexis breaks down what it really takes to finance and deliver a green transition in an oil-dependent economy like Nigeria. Can Nigeria realistically transition while still relying on oil?

Key Topics Covered:
Nigeria’s 2060 Net Zero Target – Realistic or Wishful Thinking?
Oil Dependency vs Renewables: Why Nigeria Struggles to Transition
How Nigeria Is Financing Its Energy Transition (and Why It’s Risky)
Solar, Dams, Bitcoin Mining & Alternative Energy Solutions
Iran War Impact on Nigeria’s Oil & The Future of Renewables in Africa
