Outrage As Two FG Agencies Sign Mou At COP28

Some social media users are currently tackling the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) and the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI).

This was after both agencies announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Sunday.

In pictures shared on Social Media by REA, Ahmad Salihjo, REA CEO and Khalil Halilu, NASENI CEO, can be seen signing the MoU and posing with the documents.

This signing was done in the UAE during the ongoing Conference of Parties (COP28).

The agencies, among other things, announced the MoU’s objectives are to collaborate towards electrification of rural and underserved areas in Nigeria, share knowledge, data and information related to rural electrification and promote the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass in rural electrification.

Following the post, some Nigerians began to knock both agencies for not signing the agreement in Abuja, where their headquarters are.
