PRESIDENT TINUBU URGES JUST ENERGY TRANSITION AT 17TH SUMMIT OF ECO IN KHANKHENDI, AZERBAIJAN

As the push for cleaner energy grows stronger, President Bola Tinubu has urged a fair energy transition that will not jeopardise developing economies.

Speaking at the 17th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organisation in Khankhendi, Azerbaijan, the president represented by the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, stated that, given the adverse effects of climate change—including devastating droughts, floods, desertification, and extreme heat waves—a climate-resilient future is essential.
He advocated for ECO partnerships to enhance access to cleaner energy technologies, share expertise, and invest in regional power pools to electrify underserved communities.
