Sola Adebawo joined the panel at the Oriental News Nigeria Conference 2026 to examine how regulatory reform, investment, technology and institutional collaboration can accelerate decarbonisation across Nigeria's extractive industry.
His contribution rested on a single proposition: for Nigeria, decarbonisation and industrialisation are not competing priorities and must advance together. The constraint, he argued, is not the quality of the policy. It is whether the infrastructure, the financing models and the institutional capability exist to turn that policy into measurable outcomes.
The conversation on Nigeria's energy transition must move beyond ambition to implementation.
Why it sits here
The distance between a sound policy and a measurable outcome is an institutional problem, not a technical one. It is also the problem Hyphen is most often engaged to work on, which is why this conversation matters to the firm as much as to the sector.
