For the first time in Nigeria’s history under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the country is witnessing a major transition from importing finished solar panels to local solar assembly and manufacturing, marking a significant step towards energy independence, industrial growth, and renewable energy expansion. WINS: • About eight solar manufacturing and assembly companies have emerged across the country. • New solar production hubs are growing around the Lagos-Shagamu axis, with companies like PV Panels, AfriCell, and Tricell commencing operations. • Made-in-Nigeria solar panels produced in Ketu, Lagos, are already being exported to other African countries. • Locally manufactured panels now feature scannable barcode technology to improve quality control, traceability, and prevent substandard or recycled products. • FG launched a major public-private rural electrification initiative backed by a $750 million public fund expected to attract $1.1 billion in private sector investment. • The programme aims to provide electricity access to 17.5 million Nigerians through the deployment of 1,350 mini-grids nationwide. Over 1,000 mini-grids have already been developed across the country. • Recent milestones include the commissioning of a 704-kilowatt mini-grid in Olamaboro and the groundbreaking of three interconnected mini-grids expected to generate about 29 megawatts of electricity.

Prove me wrong….. Taking one percent of farmland to produce electricity does not make a dent in the oversupply of corn in the US. One percent of farmland in solar makes a huge dent in our electricity needs as a nation. Controversial statement in rural America.

Antonio Guterres: You have 3 European countries as permanent members in the Security Council: France UK, and Russia. You have no African country, no Latin American country. To have two African permanent members in the Security Council is essential to correct a historic injustice that comes from colonialism. If you look at the World Bank, IMF, or other international financial institutions, it is clear that developing countries are underrepresented, including African countries. This creates a situation in which the international financial architecture that we have serves the interests of the richest countries #CitizenExplainer

Torres: "In 2024, 90% of new electricity generation in the US was clean energy. 60% of it is solar. And Republicans are proposing to defund solar and battery storage and wind, which are the leading sources of new electricity generations in the US. It is an act of strategic self-sabotage."

Ethiopia’s renewable energy drive is anchored in ambitious national goals to power sustainable growth, expand reliable electricity access, and support industrialisation while protecting the environment. By prioritising clean energy sources such as hydropower, wind, solar, and geothermal, the country is working to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, strengthen energy security, and lower emissions. These efforts aim to provide affordable power for households and industries, enable local manufacturing, and support job creation, while extending electricity to underserved communities. Together, Ethiopia’s renewable energy initiatives are laying the foundation for a resilient, climate-friendly economy and long-term energy independence. #PMOEthiopia #VisionforProsperity
