Tinubu to attend energy summit in Tanzania

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Sunday, January 26, 2025, for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where he will participate in the Africa Heads of State Energy Summit scheduled for January 27-28, 2025.
The summit, hosted by the Tanzanian government in collaboration with the African Development Bank Group and the World Bank, aims to advance “Mission 300,” an initiative to provide electricity access to 300 million Africans by 2030.
The event will bring together African leaders, private sector stakeholders, development partners, and civil society groups to develop strategies for accelerating energy access across the continent.
According to a statement released on Saturday by President Tinubu’s Special Adviser, Bayo Onanuga, the summit will serve as a platform for sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources to address Africa’s energy challenges.
Key discussions will focus on expanding energy access in underserved regions, promoting renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and mobilizing private sector investment.
On the first day of the summit, participating countries, including Nigeria, will present their national energy strategies, referred to as “compacts,” outlining their plans to achieve universal energy access within five years. The second day will feature the endorsement of the Dar es Salaam Energy Declaration by African Heads of State, establishing a unified roadmap to achieve the objectives of Mission 300.
President Tinubu is expected to deliver a national statement reaffirming Nigeria’s commitment to achieving universal energy access and its leadership role in Africa’s energy sector.
He will also highlight Nigeria’s clean energy initiatives and strategies to advance integrated energy delivery across the continent. Accompanying the President on the trip are Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, Special Adviser to the President on Energy Olu Verheijen, and other senior government officials.
President Tinubu is scheduled to return to Abuja after the conclusion of the summit.
