in Enugu’s Smart Green Schools to equip the future generations with knowledge and skills in green innovation.
The Climate Policy and Action Plan, he said ,aligned with Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and global climate agreements, thus positioning the state as a key player in the nation’s journey toward a low-carbon, sustainable future.
Also, highlighting the state’s Off-Grid Policy, Onyia said, “This policy is designed to complement the Enugu State Electrification Policy that was passed in 2023 Enugu Electricity Law.
“This provides a framework that would catalyse private sector investment, enhance socio-economic growth, and improve the overall quality of life of Enugu people.
“This policy also recognises the importance of distributed renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass. These will be the key drivers for electrification in the rural and peri-urban areas.”
All these, according to the government, were in sync with the Mbah Administration’s drive to grow Enugu’s economy to a $30 billion economy by 2031.
