A call has gone to the continent of Africa to explore the continent’s abundant natural resources to drive development within the continent.

Special adviser to president bola tinubu on energy Olu Veiheijen stated this at the african energy week in cape town south africa where she decried the inability of over 75% of the continent’s population to access sufficient energy.

The special adviser while speaking on the theme of the energy week, “The future of energy: shaping the workforce of tomorrow” said the need to adopt new approaches to shaping future African energy workforce has become imperative if the balance between energy security, affordability and sustainability is to be achieved within the continent.

Olu Veiheijen who noted that women and young people remain critical assets in driving the future of the energy workforce said in the last twelve months in the life of the president bola tinubu’s administration, a new direction has been given to the Nigerian energy sector space through the stable enabling environment for investments, introduction of targetted reforms at reducing high operational costs and project execution timelines amongst other areas of reforms in the entire energy value chain in Nigeria.
