The Nigerian government under Bola Tinubu has promised that citizens will enjoy at least 20 hours of daily electricity by 2027.
The government said the target is only possible if there is growth in the oil and gas sector Investment.
The Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Olu Verheijen, made this statement at the Energy Week in Cape Town, South Africa, in a release by the State House Director of Information and Publicity, Abiodun Oladunjoye, on Thursday.
The statement titled, ‘At African Energy Week in Cape Town, Olu Verheijen Invites Global Players to Invest in Nigeria’s Energy Sector.”
