Leverage available resources, reposition Nigeria into renewable energy hub – Lar

By Adeleye Kunle

The House Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation has urged the Energy Commission on Nigeria to Leverage on available resources to reposition the nation as hub for renewable energy.

The Committee also called for ways to leverage on the work of the National office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion to make Nigeria Technological hub.

The Chairman of the Committee Beni Lar made the call during oversight visits to the two Agencies on Friday.

Hon Lar explained that the oversight of both agencies goes beyond ascertaining the compliance and implementation level of the agencies.

According to Lar, the ECN is the sole government body charged to drive the UN climate change Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals in energy sources and usage.
