Speaking during the event, Mamora said that clean Energy Technology remains a project that would provide the national platform for partnership with the Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) being piloted by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) as well as Co-Creation Hub for providing niche technical services within the project.

He explained that the ministry is conducting a technology needs assessment for the climate in key sectors of the country’s economy in line with the global transition of world technology towards the use of clean energy.

According to him, production and value addition to the country’s immense natural resources is critical to fast-tracking the socio-economic development of the country.

He maintained that the steering committee members are selected from the pull of experts in the Public and Private Sectors of the economy and enjoined them to make meaningful contributions to the development of the nation through this laudable project.
