Chairman of the committee, Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, in a statement Sunday noted that the event was rescheduled following consultations between the committee and the office of the speaker.
“The decision is to allow the House to expand the summit’s scope and better accommodate the numerous stakeholders who have expressed interest in participating,” Ogene stated.
He added that the concerns of some critical stakeholders regarding the initial February date have been taken into account and the committee regrets any inconveniences caused by the change of date to intending participants.
“Renewable energy is the future, and the government is taking concrete steps to invest in and promote sustainable energy. This strategic approach aims to encourage Nigerians to adopt renewable energy solutions, thereby addressing the country’s electricity supply challenges and strengthening national energy security”, he said.
