Description: Nigeria’s renewable energy sector, underpinned by key policies such as the National Renewable Energy and Energy Eciency Policy (NREEEP) of 2015, the Mini-Grid Regulation by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), and the Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP), has set ambitious targets for integrating solar energy into its energy mix. Despite this policy framework and initiatives like the Energizing Education Programme (EEP), which aims to provide solar energy to 37 federal universities, significant gaps exist in workforce development, particularly in the alignment of technical skills with the needs of the solar industry.
