ECN DG commends Tinubu’s energy reforms, calls for public support

The Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as well-conceived energy reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda, urging Nigerians to support the President to ensure their full implementation.

Dr Abdullahi said the initiatives have continued to positively impact Nigerians and reposition the country on the path of sustainable development.

In his New Year message to Nigerians, the ECN boss stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visionary Renewed Hope Agenda aims to reposition Nigeria and restore its glory and bring it back to its enviable position as a country of destination to both local and international investors and the investment community.

He added that the agenda is gradually becoming the driving point for Nigerians seeking a better country and society.

Dr Abdullahi noted that President Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring access to renewable and sustainable energy across the country has led to the revival of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, which he said had previously been neglected.

According to him, “President Tinubu’s well thought-out plans to ensure that all Nigerians get access to renewable energy and sustainable energy supply to their homes and offices birthed the reawakening of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, ECN, which had been pushed to a near comatose state.”

He further said the President’s strong belief in his policies is driving wide-ranging reforms in the energy sector. 

“His ambitious and unshaken belief in his policies is spearheading transformative reforms and innovative initiatives to advance the nation’s energy transition,” he said.

He added that the reforms are aimed at unlocking economic growth, promoting sustainable development and improving energy access nationwide.

Dr Abdullahi also highlighted President Tinubu’s role as Chairman of the ECN, noting that President Tinubu remains deeply committed to driving the Energy Transition Plan, a core component of his Renewed Hope Agenda. 

He explained that the President’s leadership underscores the importance of clean energy and strategic reforms in building a resilient energy sector.

Describing the reforms as a clear signal of Nigeria’s global ambitions, he said, “This commitment is a firm exposition of Nigeria’s ambition to become a global leader in sustainable energy solutions while fostering economic progress and environmental stewardship.”

He however called on Nigerians to rally behind the President.
