President Bola Tinubu has welcomed Nigeria’s formal admission as the newest National Member Committee of the World Energy Council (WEC), calling it a proud moment for the country and a strong endorsement of its energy reforms and leadership role in Africa.
Nigeria’s membership in the century-old global network, which spans more than 100 countries, will enable the nation to play a more active part in shaping international discussions on energy security, equity and sustainability, the President said.
Tinubu congratulated the inaugural leadership of WEC Nigeria, Mr Abdulrazaq Isa, OFR, as Chairman and Mr Bala Wunti as Chief Executive Officer, together with other distinguished Nigerians drawn from the energy value chain, regulatory bodies, industry associations, finance, academia and the Future Energy Leaders community who will serve on the inaugural Board.
He described Isa as a distinguished patriot and trailblazing industrialist whose pioneering investments in indigenous refining and industrial energy have opened new frontiers for Nigerian enterprise. Wunti, he said, ranks among Nigeria’s finest energy strategists and reform champions, with more than three decades of service marked by integrity and strategic vision that delivered landmark reforms, boosted national revenues and restored investor confidence in the sector.
The mix of seasoned industry leaders, regulators, finance experts and youth representatives on the Board, Tinubu noted, provides the balance, neutrality and credibility needed for success.
“Nigeria has joined the World Energy Council to lead, not just participate, to ensure Africa’s voice shapes global energy decisions,” the President stated.
He pledged the full support of the Federal Government for WEC Nigeria as a neutral, technology-agnostic platform for policy dialogue, investment mobilisation and innovation. Tinubu also reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to collaborate with WEC London and its global community to deliver secure, affordable and sustainable energy for all.
He wished the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the inaugural Board every success in the historic assignment.
