Speaking at the 9th Edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during a high-level plenary session themed “Board of Changemakers: The Energy Trilemma,” Dr. Omogiafo underscored the urgent need for Africa to address its energy deficit.
She noted that while global discussions are increasingly focused on energy transition and clean technologies, Africa’s most pressing challenge remains ensuring access and affordability for its growing population.
“What we are looking at is not so much about whether we are transiting; it is creating greater access to energy for all. The gap is huge, and we all need to be conscious of it in energy conversations,” she said.
