Prof. Onuoha, further said that renewable energy and energy efficiency had so much potential for women empowerment, youth development and national growth.
“But we barely have a cadre of local indigenous developers as most of the products and finance were not accessible to Nigerian developers.
“Here in Nigeria, the fuel subsidy removal, the Electricity Act recently signed into law, rising cost of energy dominant systems and measures, have showed that it is time for a critical rapprochement and behavioural change toward renewable energy and energy efficiency.
“Not just as a policy document but as an implementable system for domestic, rural, urban, commercial and industrial development, ‘’ he said.
Onuoha said that in 2019, seven associations came together and saw the need for a common voice in the renewable energy and energy efficient sector.
He listed the associations as Association of Energy Engineers – AEE, Council for Renewable Energy Nigeria – CREN, Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria –REAN, Renewable Energy Associations Society of Nigeria – RAESON.
Others he said were the Sustainable Energy Practitioners Association of Nigeria, – SEPAN Women in Renewable Energy Association – WIRE-A
According to him, with the generous support of development partners the associations had remained strong.
“And after three years of trying to get everyone on the same page, representing the industry and associations within the industry and at the same time sensitising government on the roles Nigerian developers have to play.
“We are taking it not just one step further but reinforcing the foundation that has been laid, and building multiple stories of vertical integrations that will change the industry, ”he said.
Onuoha said that there was the need to develop the capacity of developers, installers, advocates and policy formulators. If we do not have capacity, we shall be at the mercy of others.
He said that without the requisite capacity, indigenous expertise could not be built to sustain national growth.
“With enough capacity, we can create green jobs, create employment, create entrepreneurs and evolve women and youth empowerment.
“As the President of REEEA-A, I, alongside my colleagues on the Governing Council pledge to work assiduously to ensure that renewable energy and energy efficiency become the go-to technologies to power Nigeria, ”he said.
On her part, Mrs Joy Ogaji, the Executive Secretary, Association of Power Generation Companies (APGC), said that the introduction of consolidated power framework that includes cleaner renewable energy sources in Nigeria’s energy mix would facilitate the development of renewable energy solutions.
Ogaji said that there was the need to introduce cut–edge technology to improve power distribution and monitoring and also encourage private sector investment.
She said that the proposed reforms are expected to improve the competitiveness, financial viability and service delivery in the sector.
According to her, the payment/liquidity and security of supply as major challenges in the region should be looked into to ensure that the region realise regional power integration to its fullest potential.
“There is the need to put in place several measures to improve confidence in the regional power market such as
”Improving sector creditworthiness, through a well-designed and securitisation model to encourage the provision of guarantees.
Ogaji said that for West Africa to ensure energy security for her growing economies, developing a strategic framework through regional integration coordinated and bench marked must be promoted when developing respective energy sectors.
“There is also urgent need to encourage move towards willing seller/willing buyer contracts to effectively balance risk and reward in the sector, ‘she said.

Yakubu made the call in Abuja in a stateement released and personally signed, saying that official resolution channels and necessary steps are pursued to address the irregularities and grievance.
He said, “My Dear Brothers, Sisters, Supporters, and Members of the YMK NIGERIA PROJECT,
“I wish to specially thank each and every one of you for your unwavering loyalty, sacrifices, prayers, and relentless commitment throughout the just concluded PRP Presidential Primary Elections.
“From the North to the South, East to West, your overwhelming support, courage, and belief in our collective vision for a better Nigeria remain deeply inspiring to me. Together, we built a formidable movement anchored on hope, justice, inclusion, and genuine national transformation.
“However, it is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge that the outcome declared from the primaries did not reflect the true wishes of our supporters, delegates, and the overwhelming momentum we enjoyed across the country. What transpired was clearly marred by a grand conspiracy and coordinated manipulation against our collective democratic aspirations.
“Nevertheless, I urge all members and supporters of the YMK NIGERIA PROJECT to remain calm, peaceful, law-abiding, and resolute in this difficult moment. We must not allow provocation, disappointment, or frustration to derail the noble cause we have collectively built.
“I want to assure you that we have already initiated appropriate steps through constitutional, party, and legal channels to challenge these irregularities and reclaim our stolen and overwhelming victory. We remain committed to due process, justice, fairness, and the rule of law.
“This struggle is not merely about an election; it is about protecting the integrity of democracy, defending the voice of the people, and securing the future we all believe in for our nation.
“I therefore appeal to all our supporters nationwide to remain united, steadfast, vigilant, and hopeful. Do not lose faith. Do not be discouraged.
“History has consistently shown that truth and justice ultimately prevail over conspiracy and manipulation.
“Further developments and necessary directives shall be communicated to you accordingly through our official communication channels.
May God Almighty continue to bless and strengthen us all.
Yours faithfully,
Engr. Dr. Yakubu Mohammed Kingsley Nigeria Presidential Aspirant, People’s Redemption Party (PRP)

Ajia, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Director of Communications and Strategy, Mallam Abdulrahman Aliagan, said Eid-ul-Kabir remains a sacred season that teaches the values of sacrifice, obedience, tolerance, humility, and unwavering faith in Almighty Allah.
He noted that Nigeria’s present political and economic realities demand selfless leadership and sincere commitment to the welfare of the people, especially as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to intensify across the country.
“Eid-ul-Kabir is not only a celebration of faith and sacrifice, it is also a reminder that leadership must be built on justice, compassion, accountability, and service to humanity,” Ajia stated.
The philanthropist and community leader stressed that Kwara State has continued to enjoy relative peace because of the culture of tolerance, harmony, and mutual respect among its people, warning against divisive politics capable of heating up the polity.
“Political ambition should never override the peace and unity of Kwara State. Leaders and supporters across party lines must avoid inflammatory rhetoric, bitterness, and actions capable of disrupting the peaceful atmosphere the state is known for,” he added.
Ajia further urged political actors to place the collective interest of the people above personal or sectional considerations, saying the state’s democratic future must be driven by issue-based engagements and peaceful participation.
The Ilorin-born security expert commended the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, for his consistent fatherly leadership and commitment to peace, unity, moral guidance, and harmonious coexistence among the people of Kwara State and beyond.
“The Emir of Ilorin has continued to serve as a symbol of peace, moderation, and unity. His fatherly role and wise counsel remain invaluable to the stability and progress of Kwara State,” Ajia said.
Ajia, also called on Nigerians to use the Eid celebration to pray for national healing, economic recovery, improved security, and sustainable development across the country.
“As Muslims commemorate the sacrifice and devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), Nigerians must embrace love, peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and renewed hope for a better future,” the statement added.
He prayed that Almighty Allah accepts the prayers and sacrifices of the Muslim faithful and grants Nigeria enduring peace, stability, and prosperity
