NEF 2018 in the News
Stakeholders express worry over slow progress in energy sector
SOME stakeholders in the power sector have expressed concern over the slow progress in the energy sector.
They urged the Federal Government to adopt renewable energy to accelerate development in the sector.
Mr Adekunle Makinde, a former Chairman of Nigerian Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (NIEEE), said this was the consensus of stakeholders at the just concluded 2018 Nigeria Energy Forum in Lagos.
