The Enugu State Government has confirmed its participation in the upcoming Nigeria Climate Investment Summit scheduled to take place in London next month, joining a growing number of public and private sector stakeholders backing the initiative.
Organisers of the summit — GLOBE Legislators and SOStainability — said the event has continued to attract interest from major United Kingdom-based energy firms and investors eager to explore viable climate and renewable energy projects in Nigeria.
The summit, which forms part of London Climate Action Week, is designed to mobilise international financing and multilateral support for renewable energy and transition projects in states including Enugu and Lagos.
According to the organisers, recent figures from the National Bureau of Statistics indicate that the United Kingdom remained Nigeria’s leading source of Foreign Direct Investment between 2023 and 2025, attracting an estimated $12.21 billion during that period.
The statement highlighted several climate and energy reforms introduced under Governor Peter Mbah, including the domestication of Nigeria’s climate change law, implementation of a state climate action plan, and the establishment of a Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
Enugu was also recognised as the first Nigerian state to domesticate the Electricity Act 2023, while advancing electricity generation and distribution infrastructure projects.
In a letter to the organisers, Secretary to the State Government, Chidiebere Onyia, reaffirmed the state’s readiness to engage international investors on emerging opportunities in energy transition and sustainable development.
Chief Executive Officer of SOStainability, Oke Epia, praised the state government for its commitment to climate governance, describing Governor Mbah’s participation in the summit as a strong signal of Enugu’s ambition to attract green financing and donor-backed development projects.
Support for the summit has also come from the Worshipful Company of Fuellers, a prominent London-based organisation representing stakeholders in the energy and transportation sectors.
Speaking during a gathering at Grocers’ Hall, the group’s Master, Ashutosh Shastri, reiterated the organisation’s commitment to supporting sustainable energy initiatives in the UK and partner countries such as Nigeria.
Meanwhile, Malini Mehra described the summit as a strategic platform aimed at connecting global investors, climate diplomats, and policymakers during London Climate Action Week.
She noted that the initiative reflects a growing global focus on financing climate commitments, implementing national energy transition plans, and supporting Africa’s sustainability goals through partnerships facilitated by London’s financial and diplomatic institutions.
The summit is expected to gather Nigerian governors, lawmakers, regulators, investors, corporate leaders, development finance institutions, and diaspora investment groups to discuss climate finance, energy transition, and sustainable investment opportunities in Nigeria.
Organisers say the event will also spotlight Nigeria’s climate reforms, ESG performance, carbon market initiatives, updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and investment opportunities created under recent electricity sector reforms.
