can help build resilient, renewable-powered systems that reduce costs and expand connectivity.

In my session, I I highlighted the need to align energy infrastructure with telecom needs, especially in underserved areas. Initiatives like #DARES being implemented under the @TheREANigeria.

Honoured to have been part of the conversation today at the #DigitalAfricaSummit– Nigeria Edition hosted by @GSMA - to discuss how energy and digitalisation must move hand in hand to unlock inclusive growth.

🇳🇬 How Nigeria is driving its own pathway toward #Mission300, with bold national commitments to electrify millions of lives by 2030. The episode is out now. I invite you to tune in, reflect, and share. 🎧 Listen here:

In this episode, I shared:.⚡ Lessons from the Nigeria Electrification Programme (NEP).🌍 Why DARES is the next big leap for off-grid energy access in Nigeria.📣 Why we must center the voices of real beneficiaries in our storytelling of IMPACT.

I’m particularly proud of the progress in Ondo State under the leadership of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. The enabling environment established in the state reflects a clear vision, one that encourages private sector confidence and unlocks real investment potential.

This collaborative engagements with SGs are structured to:.🔸Unpack the energy access gaps unique to each state and .🔹Build frameworks for private sector participation.🔸Introduce tailored incentive models for RESCOs and financiers.🔹Align federal support with localized ambition.

As more states begin to align with the opportunities presented by the #ElectricityAct2023, we are entering a transformative phase where access to electricity is no longer aspirational, but actionable at the sub-national level.

🔌 From Access to Impact - A New Era for Subnational Electrification in Nigeria.The recent roundtable engagement with Ondo State marks more than just a conversation, it represents a growing shift in how we define, design, and deliver electricity access in Nigeria.

And as the momentum builds, stay updated for Component 2. 🗞️ 𝘋𝘈𝘙𝘌𝘚 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵?. #EnergyAccess #EnergyForAll.

Each is designed to foster innovation, unlock scale, and most importantly deliver real impact. Learn how DARES is accelerating access through smart, scalable mini grid investments.

This component is focused on enabling private developers to deploy energy solutions where it matters most. We’re doing this through three strategic subcomponents:.🔹1.1 –Minimum Subsidy Tender.🔹1.2 –Performance-Based Grants .🔹1.3 -Subnational Intervention (Public Institution).

𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒. Under Component 1 of the @TheREANigeria #NigeriaDARES Project, we’re scaling what works: solar hybrid mini grids and delivering clean, reliable power to rural and peri-urban communities. @WorldBank

@TheREANigeria remains committed to working closely with sub-nationals and partners to drive transformative impact in Nigeria’s energy landscape.

We had insightful discussions on Zamfara State’s strides in improving energy access and developing forward-looking energy laws and policies. The meeting also provided an opportunity to share the framework for DARES project & explore possible areas of collaboration and support.

It was a pleasure to receive the Executive Secretary of the @ZEA_Zamfara, Muzammil Muhammed, and the Secretary to the Gov. of Zamfara State @phemmyjatt, on a courtesy visit to REA-NEP Programme Management Office (PMO) last week.
