Utilizing Renewable Energy Sources in Nigeria's Energy Production for Sustainable Development

Despite being a big supplier of natural gas and petroleum, Nigeria routinely has unpredicted electricity supplies. Doing business in Nigeria is challenging due to the ineffective generation and distribution of power. In this way, Nigeria recognizes the value of clean and renewable energy sources in addressing its power shortage. Nigeria has also had a long history of utilizing renewable energy, particularly hydropower. Numerous studies were done to determine the worth of renewable energy as a compliment to provide Nigeria with the energy required for its national development. Without a doubt, renewable energy sources including Solar, wind, hydro and biomass can be added into Nigeria's higher proportion of fossil fuel-based energy sources to help fulfill demand and the growing interest in climate change around the world. Nigeria is lucky to possess an abundance renewable energy resources, which may boost the nation's energy production capacity and, in turn, assist industrialization and the creation of green jobs for the development of the country. Despite their availability, renewable energy sources are still not being fully used, which prevents them from making a significant contribution to the nation's electrical power output.
