A subsidiary of Oando Plc, Oando Clean Energy Limited, OCEL, participated in the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. OCEL attended as a member of the Lagos State delegation to reaffirm its dedication to advancing Nigeria’s clean energy transition via investment and collaboration.
Alongside heavyweight organisations like Greenplinth Africa Ltd, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, and the Impact Investors Foundation, the delegation represented Nigeria, reiterating its commitment to advancing climate solutions that support a smooth transition to cleaner energy across Africa.
Speaking during the event, OECL President Ademola Ogunbanjo emphasized that the launch of the National Wind Capacity report signals a new chapter in Nigeria’s climate action journey, using the power of data to trigger real-world change.
According to him, the report is Nigeria’s first comprehensive mapping of wind resource potential across all 36 states and the FCT, and it underscores the company’s role in aiding infrastructure planning and investing in data-driven policy.
Ogunbajo further highlighted the importance of urban development and partnership in supporting local economies, noting that Nigeria will keep taking the right steps towards a seamless transition to cleaner energy.
“Africa’s energy transition cannot be achieved in isolation. Solutions exist, and partnership is the key to scaling them. Through collaboration between governments, private investors, and innovators, we can transform ambition into measurable impact,” he said.
OCEL also flaunted its flagship projects under Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan, ETP, Project LightSpeed, a pioneering electric mass transit system presently operational in Lagos, which will deliver 12,000 electric vehicles and 5,000 charging units for mass transit systems over the next seven years.
These programmes prove Oando Clean Energy Limited’s strategic commitment to decarbonising Nigeria’s transport sector via an integrated approach that promotes local manufacturing, improves local content and aids sustainable economic growth.
