The ECN boss stated that “this moment invites reflection, renewed hope, and a shared commitment to building a nation that works for all.”

Dr. Abdullahi explained that the Energy Commission of Nigeria is focused on advancing policies and initiatives that ensure long-term energy security.
In his words “At the Energy Commission of Nigeria, we are steadfast in advancing a secure, sustainable, and inclusive energy future that supports national development”.
