Experts Urge Investment in Renewable Energy in Nigeria

Energy experts have called for increased investment in renewable energy as Nigeria continues to face electricity challenges affecting businesses and households.

According to analysts, alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power could help address the country’s growing energy demand while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Small business owners say unstable electricity supply has forced them to depend heavily on generators, increasing operational costs.

“Solar energy is becoming more important because many businesses cannot survive without reliable power,” an energy consultant said.

Stakeholders believe that with the right policies and investments, renewable energy can create jobs, attract investors, and improve energy access across rural and urban communities.

They also urged the government and private sector to work together to accelerate the transition toward sustainable energy solutions.
