The former President of Poland, His Excellency Bronisław Komorowski, will lead other world leaders to Nigeria in December for the African Industrial and Development Conference. Held under the theme “Energy and Sustainable Development in Africa” the summit is organised by Dotmount Communications in collaboration with Yahoo Finance. In a statement signed and made available by the president of Dotmount Communications, Adedotun Olaoluwa, said the conference will profile renewable energy opportunities available in Nigeria and Africa to producers of renewable power as their next investment destination. “At this pivotal moment in the nation’s economy, and the several economic challenges the nation is grappling with, it is important for all stakeholders to work collaboratively to ensure the sustainable development of our nation and to support the government’s effort in transforming and reviving the nation’s ailing economy”. Olaoluwa further argues that the theme is important at this present time, because Africa has abundant renewable resources that could transform the global energy sector, ensuring green growth with low greenhouse gas emissions. Our continent’s renewable energy potential is rated as “superabundant”. With the right technologies and supportive financing mechanisms, Africa holds the world’s potential to change the renewable energy narrative for the entire world.
