Forging a Transformative Partnership: Energy Commission of Nigeria Collaborates with USAID at UNGA79

During the UNGA 79, the Director General Dr Mustapha Abdullahi alongside the Hon. Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Chief Uche Nnaji, met with the USAID's Chief Innovation Officer, Mohammed Abdel-Kader, on the sidelines. This strategic discussion focused on forging a transformative partnership between the Ministry and USAID to drive Nigeria's development through innovation, science, and technology.

At the core of this collaboration are the six Research Centres under the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), located across all Nigeria's geopolitical zones. These Centres will harness regional strengths to address pressing local challenges with innovative, tailored solutions. Mohammed Abdel-Kader's insights it is expected, will bolster academia-industry collaboration, promote entrepreneurship, and accelerate cutting-edge research.

Together, the partners are poised to drive economic growth, boost GDP, and create a prosperous future for Nigeria. With USAID's support, the ECN is committed to transforming Nigeria through innovation for generations to come.
