ANALYSIS OF THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR OPTIMIZATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY OPTION IN NIGERIA

It has been argued that the need to attend energy sufficiency amidst scarce resources has birthed the desire for energy mix. This is not far from the global tune for sustainability, climate preservation, energy security and efficiency among nations. Nigeria is richly bestowed with enormous energy resources, yet energy security has remained a mirage. Unfortunately, only 40% of the 170 million Nigerian Populations have access to electricity, out of which a lesser quotient enjoys sustainable electricity; hence sustainability becomes a key factor. To achieve energy security through integration of other energy sources, CJP Ogugbara in this dissertation takes a thorough ‘Analysis of the Legal Framework for Optimization of Renewable Energy Option in Nigeria,’ to enunciate how best to achieve energy mix in the midst of abundant energy resources in Nigeria.
