It’s a national consensus that Nigeria needs reliable power, and for many people, distributed renewable energy feels like the obvious answer.

Solar mini-grids, hybrid systems, rooftop solar. The technology is there and the need is huge.

So why does financing still feel like the hardest part?

In this episode, Dr. Segun Solomon Adaju breaks down what really makes a renewable energy project bankable.

It’s not just about solar panels or good intentions, It’s about trust, customer payment patterns, regulation that gives investors’ confidence, and business models that actually survive in the real world.

This is a conversation about the money behind the mission, and why solving energy access means solving finance first.
