The Federal Government has expressed its readiness to partner with local and foreign companies to expand the use of renewable energy across the country.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, stated this when he received a delegation from KF Manufacturing Company of Guangzhou, China, led by its Managing Director, Bruce Zheng, in Abuja.
Akume said renewable energy is central to the administration’s plan for economic recovery and sustainability, stressing that Nigeria cannot afford to be left behind in the global transition to clean energy.
“The Federal Government is opening its doors to genuine local and foreign companies with the capacity and technology to drive renewable energy projects across the country. This partnership will go a long way in promoting efficient power supply to people, industries, and households,” he said.

He explained that the present administration is committed to making Nigeria a hub for genuine investors by simplifying the cost of doing business. He added that the government had abolished multiple foreign exchange systems and multiple taxation to ease the burden on small and medium-scale enterprises.
Also speaking, Zheng noted that most government institutions were yet to embrace renewable energy. He said KF Manufacturing was ready to partner with the government to ensure the adoption of clean and safe energy solutions.
He added that the company supplies solar panels, batteries, and inverters that are eco-friendly and compliant with green energy standards.
