Nigeria's immediate past Vice President and Professor of Law, Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has joined Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) as its Global Advisor.

This was disclosed by Prof. Osinbajo (SAN) via his Instagram account on Tuesday evening.

The former Vice President, who recently led the Commonwealth Observer Group to the multi-tier elections in Sierra Leone last month, expressed excitement at the opportunity to work with GEAPP.

He promised to unlock capital flows into the clean energy sector and boost Africa's share in the global carbon market.

"GEAPP in such a short period have demonstrated a commitment to support developing countries' shift to a clean energy (sic) using models that ensure universal energy access as well as drive economic growth, generate jobs and sustainable livelihoods and meet urgent climate goals", his statement partly read.

Also confirming the appointment on its Instagram account, the alliance quoted Osinbajo as describing GEAPP’s vision for change as "ambitious".

"That is entirely fitting; if we’re to achieve our twin goals of universal energy access and climate change action, while transforming the lives of millions, then we must set our sights high", the new Global Advisor was quoted as saying.

GEAPP's CEO, Simon Harford, who also spoke at the former VP's unveiling in Lagos Tuesday, praised Prof. Osinbajo's expertise, leadership, and global network just as he described him as a "valuable catalyst for our mission".

The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet is a platform for collaborative action to accelerate green energy transitions and renewable energy solutions in developing and emerging economies in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

It does this by providing grant funding, technical assistance, and a range of financing options through a historic partnership of philanthropy, multilateral development banks, development finance institutions, international organizations, and governments.
