The public policy forum explored strategies to address risks and maximise opportunities of a global energy transition on Nigeria’s socioeconomic and energy sectors. Organized in collaboration with Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), the forum featured remarks from His Majesty Ògíame Atúwàtse III, The Olú of Warri; H.E Sharon Ikeazor, Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs; Mrs. Cécile Tassin-Pelzer, Head of Cooperation, European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS and a screening of After Oil We Flourish! – a poetic performance by renowned environmentalist, Nnimmo Bassey.
A roundtable, in collaboration with HOMEF, brought together experts and extractive community actors to discuss the social, environmental and economic implications of a post-oil future for Nigeria. The event was attended by His Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse III, The Olu of Warri, Godfrey Ogbemudia, EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, and Chief Eric Dooh, an Ogoni activist.
