Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has charged the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to work on the development of green hydrogen as another energy source as the clamour for energy transition gathers steam globally.
The Vice President also said that hasty transition from fossil fuel will lead to long term job losses for Nigeria.
Prof Osinbajo who spoke at the launch of a book titled “Understanding Natural Gas: A Nigerian Perspective,” in Abuja, yesterday, said no nation is yet to develop solely on renewable energy as the advocates of net zero are pushing Nigeria and other countries to abandon their oil and gas resources.
The book was co-authored by Dr. David Ige and Mr. Dapo Akinosun.
