Nigeria energy forum to focus on sustainable development goal 7

The Nigeria Energy Forum (NEF) is a platform that brings together stakeholders from the energy sector to discuss and address the energy challenges facing Nigeria. The forum is focused on promoting sustainable development and achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, which is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.

SDG 7 is a critical goal for Nigeria, as the country faces significant energy challenges, including a large energy deficit, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to energy for many of its citizens. The goal is to ensure that by 2030, Nigeria has increased the share of renewable energy in its energy mix, improved energy efficiency, and increased access to energy for all.

The NEF is a key platform for achieving SDG 7 in Nigeria, as it brings together stakeholders from the public and private sectors, academia, and civil society to discuss and address the energy challenges facing the country. The forum provides a platform for stakeholders to share knowledge, expertise, and best practices, and to identify and address the key challenges and opportunities in the energy sector.

The NEF has identified several key areas that are critical to achieving SDG 7 in Nigeria, including:

1. Increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix: Nigeria has significant renewable energy resources, including solar, wind, and hydro power. The NEF is working to promote the development of these resources and to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix.
2. Improving energy efficiency: Energy efficiency is critical to reducing energy consumption and to increasing the availability of energy for all. The NEF is working to promote energy efficiency through the development of energy-efficient technologies and practices.
3. Increasing access to energy: Many Nigerians lack access to energy, which is a major obstacle to economic development and poverty reduction. The NEF is working to increase access to energy through the development of new energy infrastructure and the promotion of energy access initiatives.
4. Promoting energy security: Energy security is critical to ensuring that Nigeria has a reliable and sustainable energy supply. The NEF is working to promote energy security through the development of new energy infrastructure and the promotion of energy security initiatives.

The NEF is a key platform for achieving SDG 7 in Nigeria, and it is working to promote sustainable development and energy access for all Nigerians.
