IEA Governing Board adds Nigeria as an Association energy country
Nigeria’s move is tied to plans to expand its oil industry while accelerating renewable energy development.
OilPrice reports that the International Energy Agency Governing Board decided in June to welcome Nigeria as an Association country.
The outlet links the decision to Nigeria’s broader energy plans over coming decades, including expanding its oil industry and accelerating the development of its renewable energy sector.
OilPrice says Nigeria has been consolidating its position as a major energy power in Africa in recent years, supporting the IEA step to bring Nigeria into the agency as an Association country.
