flag African leaders advocate for responsible energy integration and equitable clean energy transition at Africa Oil Week 2025.

flag African leaders, including Nigeria's Heineken Lokpobiri and Ghana's John Jinapor, are pushing for regional energy integration and a balanced transition to clean energy at Africa Oil Week 2025. flag They stress that Africa's vast oil, gas, and renewable resources should be harnessed responsibly to end energy poverty, reduce the continent’s $120 billion annual hydrocarbon import bill, and power sustainable development. flag While acknowledging the global shift toward renewables, they emphasize that the Paris Agreement calls for emission reductions, not fossil fuel abandonment. flag Ghana aims for 35% renewable energy by 2025, and Nigeria’s Lagos State is positioning itself as a hub for innovation and economic growth, driven by its youthful population. flag Despite global clean energy investment reaching $2.2 trillion, Africa receives only 3% of that funding, hindered by debt, currency instability, and high interest rates. flag The ECOWAS Sustainable Energy Forum 2025 will further advance regional cooperation on sustainable energy infrastructure. flag Leaders call for Africa to define its own energy future through inclusive policies, technology transfer, and partnerships that prioritize equitable access and economic resilience.
