President Bola Tinubu is set to leave Abuja on Sunday for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to attend the Africa Heads of State Energy Summit scheduled for January 27-28, 2025.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The statement, titled “President Tinubu to attend Africa Heads of State Energy Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,” outlined the details of the trip.
The summit, organized by the Tanzanian government in partnership with the African Development Bank Group and the World Bank, aims to advance the ‘‘Mission 300’’ initiative, which seeks to provide electricity to 300 million Africans by 2030, according to Onanuga.
In Dar es Salaam, African leaders, private sector representatives, development partners, and civil society organizations will collaborate to develop strategies for improving energy access across the continent.
The summit will also serve as a platform for sharing insights, expertise, and resources to tackle Africa’s energy challenges. Discussions will focus on enhancing energy access in underserved areas, promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, and attracting private sector investments.
“On the first day, at the ministerial level, participating countries, including Nigeria, will present their national energy strategies, termed compacts, detailing their approaches to achieving universal energy access within five years.
“On the second day, Heads of State will endorse the Dar es Salaam Energy Declaration, outlining a unified roadmap for Africa’s progress towards the Mission 300 objectives.
“President Tinubu will deliver a national statement reaffirming Nigeria’s commitment to achieving universal access to energy and its leadership role in Africa’s energy sector,” the statement read.
He will also highlight Nigeria’s ongoing clean energy initiatives and its strategy to drive integrated energy delivery in the continent.
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu; Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu; the Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Olu Verheijen, and other senior government officials will accompany Tinubu on the trip.
