In order to achieve the electricity needs of the country, the Buhari presidency is considering a mix of energy sources, according to the vice president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).
Besides working to improve power generation from the national grid, alternative sources of energy especially renewable energy are being actively pursued by the federal government, and the vice president has hinted that nuclear energy might also be in the mix.
In a statement issued yesterday by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Laolu Akande, he said, “The long and short of it is that we definitely need a mix of energy choices because in the next decade, such a mix will be imperative.’’
In addition to the existing mix of hydro and thermal sources of power generation, Prof. Osinbajo disclosed that the federal government is equally working on the possibility of utilising other energy sources including the solar option.
