NNPC Limited reaffirmed its leadership in Nigeria’s energy transition journey at COP30, playing a central role in a high-level side event titled “Strengthening Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Systems and Unlocking Carbon Finance for Nigeria’s Energy Transition.” The session, convened by the Gas Aggregator Company Nigeria Ltd/Gte (GACN), brought together government agencies, CarbonAi, and private-sector partners to chart a unified pathway for Nigeria’s climate commitments.
Speaking at the event, Chinedu Igwe, Head of Sustainability at NNPC Limited, name-checked the Company’s commitment to driving inter-agency alignment and operationalising MRV systems as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s carbon governance framework. He called for a coordinated action towards accelerating opportunities for sustainable investment and methane-abatement initiatives.
Olamide Fagbuji, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Climate Technology and Operations, emphasised collaboration, stressing the importance of harmonising MRV data flows, establishing clear carbon-market governance structures, and advancing joint implementation pathways.
The discussions highlighted NNPC Limited’s role in convening stakeholders and setting the pace for Nigeria’s energy transition.
The session concluded with a unified message: Nigeria must move beyond siloed initiatives to a coordinated national approach, anchored by NNPC Limited’s leadership, to operationalise MRV, strengthen carbon governance, and deliver on climate commitments post COP30.
