Africa’s pursuit of universal energy access has birthed several electrification initiatives. In Nigeria, one of the most impactful has been the Nigeria Electrification Programme (NEP), a nationally led effort that has expanded off-grid access to millions and laid the groundwork for scalable, inclusive energy solutions. Now, building on NEP’s success, the continent is turning to even more ambitious targets through Mission 300.

On this episode of Connecting the Dots, Mr Olufemi Akinyelure, Head of the Nigeria Electrification Program, shares lessons from the program and plans to scale rural electrification in alignment with the continent’s Mission 300 plans.
