The Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, has engaged some global stakeholders on new accession opportunities for climate finance and de-risking platforms to bolster renewable energy technology manufacturing growth in-country.
Our correspondent reports that the stakeholders are the Executive Vice President of Oando Clean Energy, Mr. Demola Ogunbanjo, Member of U.S. President Joe Biden’s Advisory Council on African Relations, Ms. Mimi Alemayehou, and USAID Director for Economic Growth and Sustainability, Ms. Michelle Corzine.
Chief Ngelale also hosted a virtual call with the Managing Director of the Bank of Industry, Dr. Supo Olusi and his team to discuss and profile existing climate finance partnerships and projects with a view to expanding existing partnerships, while establishing new linkages for the growth of the localised green industry in Nigeria.
He equally held a productive discussion with a technical team from the British High Commission, led by its Climate Head, Mrs. Martine Sobey, concerning new opportunities for deepened collaboration across multiple spheres of climate action.
Similarly, the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action compared notes with the Country Lead on NDC Partnerships, Mr. Huzi Mshelia, and assessed current progress on adjustments being made, as well as to ensure that nothing in the pipeline is delayed.
