The Federal Government says it will learn power generation and transmission from Egypt which it described as a role model in the sector.

The government also has reaffirmed its commitment to rural development through improved electricity access,

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, disclosed this during a recent meeting in Abuja with the Egyptian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mohammed Fouad.

A statement by Adelabu’s spokesperson, Bolaji Tunji, said on Sunday that the meeting centered on strengthening bilateral cooperation in energy expansion, with a focus on renewable energy and rural electrification.

Adelabu commended Egypt’s achievements in the energy sector, describing the country as a role model in energy infrastructure development.

He expressed Nigeria’s interest in learning from Egypt’s experience in energy generation, transmission, and distribution, adding that the success in Egypt led to the engagements with Siemens with a view towards stabilising Nigeria’s power sector.

“Egypt has made remarkable strides in energy transformation, and we are eager to collaborate and learn from your expertise. Our goal is to ensure reliable, stable, and affordable energy access for all Nigerians,” he added.

Adelabu highlighted Nigeria’s efforts to connect remote rural areas to power through renewable energy initiatives, citing the economic challenges of extending the national grid to these regions.

“Many rural areas cannot be connected to the grid due to economic constraints, but we cannot neglect them. Through our renewable energy programme, we are bridging this gap. We have secured significant investments, including $750m from the World Bank’s DARES project and an additional $190m from the Japan International Cooperation Agency to support this initiative,” Adelabu stated.

He emphasised Nigeria’s abundant renewable energy resources, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric potential, expressing the government’s determination to harness these resources for sustainable energy access.

Speaking, Fouad expressed Egypt’s enthusiasm for collaborating with Nigeria, particularly in closing the metering gap and sharing best practices in energy access.

He emphasised the shared goals and mutual benefits of strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations.

“Nigeria and Egypt have much in common, and there is immense potential for collaboration in the energy sector. We are committed to working together to achieve sustainable energy solutions for both countries,” Fouad said.

They mocked Peter Obi for going to Egypt to learn about the same thing 2 years ago. Now 2 years later, they're copying him. Took them 2 whole years to realize what Obi had seen barely few months to the election! That is VISIONARY LEADERSHIP!!

nairalanda1:
So, obi was right

So at last they are adopting Peter Obi's solutions whom they almost roasted for going to the same Egypt to understudy how they made it.

It is a well established fact long ago that Bola Tinubu is empty. The man who claim other people's achievements in Lagos does not have the mental capacity and skills to govern.
The foolish and gutter mouthpiece Bayo Onanuga should be ashamed. All BATeria zombies supporting Tinubu’s administration, not because he is competent, but because of tribalism should cover their faces in shame.

No matter how you people plan to manipulate the outcome of the 2027 election it will fail. Tinubu must be booted out like he did to Jonathan. The masses have seen enough and no amount of propaganda, money, tribalism and religious manipulation will change that.

Vampires.
