The minister pointed out that Nigeria developed a comprehensive Electricity Transition Plan in 2021, becoming the first African nation to do so, with the goal of ensuring that everyone has access to energy by 2030.

Pledging that Nigeria would continue to take strong action to lessen the effects of climate change, the minister emphasized that in order to protect the future of the global environment, every nation must play a part because climate change is not an isolated phenomenon.
