Aregbesola tasks engineers on creativity in power sector
The NNPC GMD argued that while findings have shown that global transition to renewable energy will definitely continue to gain momentum, the pace may not be fast enough to offset the impacts of worldwide economic expansion and population growth. As global energy consumption grows from the 2018 levels to about 50 per cent by 2050, the NNPC boss said it is apparent that oil and gas will continue to be a crucial component of the world’s future energy.
“NNPC has set the necessary machineries to lead Africa in transition to low-carbon energy and renewables. We are deepening natural gas utilisation under the National Gas Expansion Programme.” In his address at the event, Vice Chancellor of FUT Minna, Prof. Abdullahi Bala, said the transition from fossil fuel to renewable has reinforced the need for Nigeria to start thinking of a future without oil.
