Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has called on global leaders to help Nigeria bridge the gap between energy transition and developmental finance by ensuring that justice and inclusion remain central to global efforts.
The minister made the call while representing Nigeria at the 2025 Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Global Forum which took place in Barbados.
The forum, co-hosted by SEforALL and the Government of Barbados under the theme: “Sustainable Energy for Equity, Security and Prosperity,” brought together global leaders to catalyse action and investment toward achieving universal energy access, climate goals, and sustainable development.
Delivering his keynote address at the Global Ministerial Roundtable, the minister reiterated the urgent need to bridge the gap between energy transition and developmental finance by ensuring that justice and inclusion remain central to global efforts.
A statement by his spokesman, Bolaji Tunji, quoted the minister as highlighting Africa’s minimal contribution to global emission which is less than 4 per cent, while bearing the brunt of climate change impacts and energy poverty.
