Komolafes $600 billion call is not an exaggeration it is the minimum needed if we are to power homes, industries, hospitals, and schools across the continent. This is not a luxury. It is a lifeline,There is a dangerous assumption that what works for Europe or North America must work for Africa. But Africas energy reality is unique. We are the least electrified continent, and we have a right to use every available resource including oil and gas to meet our development goals,Nigeria has over 210 trillion cubic feet of gas and 37 billion barrels of oil. These are not stranded assets. With the right investment, they are the building blocks of industrial growth, job creation, and regional energy integration.
