Can Nigeria realistically transition while still relying on oil? Key Topics Covered: Nigeriaโ€™s 2060 Net Zero Target โ€“ Realistic or Wishful Thinking? Oil Dependency vs Renewables: Why Nigeria Struggles to Transition How Nigeria Is Financing Its Energy Transition (and Why Itโ€™s Risky) Solar, Dams, Bitcoin Mining & Alternative Energy Solutions Iran War Impact on Nigeriaโ€™s Oil & The Future of Renewables in Africa Watch / Listen now โ€” youtube.com/watch?v=_1MsgM0Uโ€ฆ
