President Buhari Tasked To Deliver On COP26 Micro Hydropower Advice

President Buhari Tasked To Deliver On COP26 Micro Hydropower Advice

Author: Africa Business Radio November 8, 2021 Duration: 21:15
A Group of Energy Sector experts have raised an urgent memo to President Muhammadu Buhari calling on him to immediately begin the full implementation here in his home country Nigeria, the laudable suggestion on micro-hydro power generation he made to the world in an article in the run-up to the on-going United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, holding in Glasgow, Scotland.
The group under the nomenclature, ‘Nigerian Oil, Gas and Power Forum’, said Buhari in putting forward one of the strongest suggestions on how to approach the global climate crisis through micro-hydro power, had hit at what the group believes is low-hanging fruit for solving Nigeria’s power crisis, but which has been ignored for far too long.
According to the group, now that the president has told the world that it was a climate-friendly approach to solving power problems, especially in communities, he has shown that he is aware of the solution and should proceed to have it actualised in the country as his bold and genuine effort to make a dent on the intractable problem of power supply.
