The @AfDB_Group's #RDVPLeadershipRetreat was an opportunity for colleagues to reconnect, recharge and refocus our priorities, says @barrowlaming, the Bank's Director General Designate for West Africa.

DG @barrowlaming of @AfDB_Group implores policy makers, regulators, legislators and key actors in Nigeria’s energy sector to map out pragmatic actions to address the challenges bedevilling Nigeria’s energy sector.

“As my President @akin_adesina elegantly put it,‘ No economy can grow in the dark. No economy can industrialize in the dark & no economy can be competitive in the dark.’Just imagine how Nigeria’s economy could be transformed if it were to have reliable power!”- VP @KevinKKariuki

“In Jigawa State @AfDB_Group is also providing technical support for preparation of feasibility studies for the 1 GWsolar project and a study on Battery Energy Storage Systems(BESS) to support Nigeria in tapping new technologies for a sustainable energy future.” DG @barrowlaming

@AfDB_Group is supporting Nigeria’s power sector reforms. Our current portfolio in the power sector stands at $410 million in support of two projects: The Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP) and the Nigeria Transmission Expansion Project (NTEP)” - Director General @barrowlaming

“The 8th Africa Energy Market Place in Nigeria is timely, coming in the wake of the ongoing rollout of #2023ElectricityAct. It provides an opportunity to contribute to the preparation of the National Integrated Electricity Policy & Strategic Implementation Plan” DG @barrowlaming

@AfDB_Group launched the Africa Energy Market Place as a collaborative platform to facilitate dialogue between key stakeholders in government, private sector, & development partners. A dialogue platform addressing key issues in energy sectors in Regional Member Countries.

"Developing Africa in a way that we mobilize more private capital is the way to go forward," @AfDB_Group President @akin_adesina tells @YinkaWrites. "There's only so much the governments can carry on." #WES2024
