Local governments are now autonomous which means the can stand on their own without interference from state governments. Now what does this mean for the future of elections? You want to know as much as I do?? Join us here on X (space) 3rd of October by 1pm!!!
The pause says it all, energy access shouldn't be a difficult question to answer.
The hesitation reflects a reality many Nigerians know too well, unreliable electricity, rising energy costs, and the constant search for alternatives.
Access to energy affects how we learn, work, run businesses, and power our communities.
Every pause tells a story. What would your answer be?

Congratulations to Cynthia Egboboh of @BusinessDayNg , one of the recipients of the Solar Power Nigeria Media Story Grant.
This grant represents their quality journalism and impactful storytelling on energy access, renewable energy, and Nigeria's clean energy future.
We are excited to support journalists who are helping to inform, educate, and inspire conversations around sustainable energy solutions across the country.

Climate change is upon us now and it's up to the government to take action. The passage of the Energy Transition Law will help phase out the use and dependence on fossil fuels. It will usher us into renewable and clean energy. @AgemaGee@AgemaGloria#NowForClimate
Dear Nigerian youths, there's still time to visit the nearest INEC office closer to you to register if you are yet to do so. Continuous voters registration is on-going. Be part of those to decide the fate of Nigeria in 2027. #NigerianYouthDecide@inecnigeria
In Nigeria, solar panels are not a luxury, they are a lifeline. With the current heat wave, unreliable electricity, and the rising cost of fuel, millions of households and small businesses depend on solar for survival and productivity.
It is worrying to hear discussions about banning solar panel imports when local manufacturing capacity is still extremely low. A ban without local capacity will hurt the very people and businesses struggling to cope with energy poverty.
The focus should be on growing local manufacturing, creating incentives for investors, supporting technology transfer, and building skills then gradually reducing imports in phases. Not an outright ban.
Energy access is not a luxury. Clean energy is a necessity.

Solar is not a luxury in #Nigeria, it’s a lifeline for homes, businesses, schools, and health centres. A blanket ban on solar panel imports at this stage risks deepening energy poverty, not solving it.
Let’s get the sequence right:
1. Invest in local manufacturing
2.Strengthen supply chains & skills
3. Scale demand with supportive policies
3. Then transition gradually not abruptly
Nigeria needs a phased strategy, not a shock to a sector already filling the electricity gap.
The goal should be clear: energy access + local industry growth.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today to shape the conversation on the future of solar energy in Nigeria. We appreciate the valuable contributions from everyone. Together, we’re driving practical solutions for a stronger, more sustainable energy future. #SolarPowerNigeria
At the GIFSEP Board Meeting, we approved our Strategic Plan 2026–2030, a bold roadmap toward resilient, empowered, food-secure and energy-secure communities, where vulnerable populations become leaders of development.

It was a real eye opening and impactful workshop. It laid bare the issues affecting the oversight of GEF funded projects in Nigeria and practicable solutions were proferred. @gifsep4climate@TropicalBiology and @FMEnvng good work. @AgemaGee@AgemaGloria
Ongoing in #Abuja, #Nigeria 🇳🇬
National Capacity Building Workshop on Project Oversight for GEF OFP and Implementing Partners in Nigeria, organized by @TropicalBiology and @gifsep4climate with support from @theGEF and @FMEnvng
Project oversight is just as critical as funding without accountability and transparency, even the best-funded projects cannot deliver real impact.

Our environment must be protected from our insatiable needs. If we must pass onto the next generation a clean and sustainable environment the time to act is now. Pass the #ESHIA Bill @nassnigeria
#ESHIA Bill @nassnigeria
Why act like we stand apart from the environment when our very lives depend on it? For short-term gains, we trade away clean water, fertile soil, and breathable air.
Nature��s balance is delicate, it takes centuries to build one inch of topsoil, and only seconds to destroy it. #PassESHIA for stronger environmental governance in Nigeria.
I had an interesting time with the women during the participatory session which I facilitated on the "Role of Women in Advancing Renewable Energy and Climate Action". Thanks @gifsep4climate for empowering these women. @AgemaGee
Yesterday’s sessions at the Empowering Women’s Voices for Renewable Energy Bootcamp ignited inspiring conversations on renewable energy, gender, and energy access.
Participants explored challenges and co-created solutions for a more inclusive and sustainable energy future.
Day 2 is set to be even more engaging with practical hands-on solar system installation sessions.
Thank you to UMI Fund for the support!

The National Assembly must prioritize the #ESHIA bill as a matter of national importance. Our health, food systems, and future depend on strong environmental safeguards. The environment first always.

The ESHIA Bill is innovative as it mordenises Nigeria's environmental governance framework, emhasises public participation and ensures strong enforcement. @nassnigeria pass the Bill. @oxfaminnigeria@AgemaGee#ESHIA
