During the Niger Delta Blue Economy Investment Summit this week, I moderated a panel that sounded a cautionary note: justice for the environment, coastal communities, & future generations need not be sacrificed on the altar of economic gains from the ocean. #blueeconomy

Glad to be part of this charge by @PolicyAlert and partners @NRGInstitute @BudgITng + others to drive transition readiness in Nigeria at the subnational level. #JustEnergyTransition #Subnationals

[Tijah Bolton-Akpan @Tijahbolt]

The push for a just energy transition in Nigeria is on but it appears that sub-nationals are last to get the memo. States appear unprepared to deal with the reality of the #energytransition, fiscally, economically, and socially. #JustEnergyTransition
#Subnationals

[Tijah Bolton-Akpan @Tijahbolt]

This is shown by a dearth of future-proof fiscal practices, poor economic diversification, weak investment in climate-resilience & RE, & low engagement with climate and energy transition policy discourses by subnational actors & institutions. #JustEnergyTransition
#Subnationals

Enjoying time resting after 10 hectic years as President of the ⁦⁦@AfDB_Group⁩⁩. I am so proud of the transformational impacts of our High5s across Africa and globally. Now, I have embarked on 5Rs: Rest. Recover. Refresh. Recalibrate. Relaunch. I will be back, soon!💕

@joejorhymes @winexviv This is brilliant. But don’t perish JAMB. Try again so this powerful poetry can find an engaged mind as home!

Very useful discussions with Directors at the Min of Environment in ⁦@aksgovt⁩ last Thursday. Commendable efforts to get it right on environmental compliance by companies, but a lot more yet to be done! ⁦@FairFinanceInt ⁦@cislacnigeria⁩ ⁦@oxfaminnigeria⁩
