The road to power resilience: Women leaders in Nigeria’s power sector share their thoughts on energy transition.
On this episode of ‘WATTS with the Grid? we hear from women in the private sector who have invested or attempted to invest in the global energy space. They address the sector’s opportunities and challenges through an investor lens and also explore Nigeria’s current Power sector landscape from that perspective.
As UKNIAF we learned several lessons helping to develop the National Integrated Resource Plan which will guide the future of Nigeria’s power sector.

On this episode of WATTS with the Grid, we are joined by Dolapo Kukoyi (Managing Partner, Detail Solicitors) and Habiba Ali (Managing Director/CEO, Sosai Renewable Energies Company). Fresh from COP 29 in Azerbaijan, they share their perspectives on key discussions that featured at the event, such as climate finance, energy access, and the importance of positioning Nigeria to leverage global opportunities.
In this special episode, we feature a group of young women in the Power sector. Chartered Accountant and Portfolio Manager at UKNIAF, Adeola Adebisi; Electrical Engineer and Project Manager at UKNIAF, Aisha Mala Sheriff; Energy Policy Research Analyst at Nextier, Doose Iortyom reflect on their experiences and share insights on critical issues shaping the sector, including valuable advice they would offer to their younger selves.
The 2022 Constitutional Amendment expands the power of Nigeria’s 36 States to generate, transmit and distribute on-grid electricity. Before this amendment, State governments’ powers were mostly limited to off-grid electricity supply.
How can Nigeria bridge the climate finance gap to meet its ambitious targets? Our guests, Chintal Barot (Founder, Co-Sustain Consulting) and Titilayo Oshodi (Special Adviser on Climate Change and Circular Economy to the Governor of Lagos State), share insights on accessing funding, the role of gender in climate finance and why the economic argument is crucial for driving climate action.
In this episode female executives in Nigeria’s Power sector examine Nigeria’s Electricity Act 2023 and its implications for the distribution sub-sector. With the repeal of the 2005 reform act, the new legislation grants states, private investors, and individuals the power to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity. This conversation explores what this means for the 11 distribution companies (DisCos) currently serving Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Despite Nigeria investing an estimated USD 1.9 billion annually in climate-related activities, this is just 11% of the USD 17.7 billion needed to meet its emissions reduction goals by 2030. In this episode, we ask the critical questions: What’s driving these disparities? How can they be addressed? And what are the emerging opportunities, especially in light of the new Electricity Act 2023, which opens doors for renewable energy development across all 36 states?
In this third and final instalment of a three-part series Stella Odiase, UKNIAF’s Cross Cutting Adviser and a Doctoral candidate at the Institute of Development Studies, Sussex University, reflects on a recent electricity customer interaction, where customer requests were quite straightforward.
In this second instalment of a three-part series Dr. Dalia Sakr, a UNFCCC accredited climate change expert, compares electricity and calorie consumption, pointing out that sometimes responsible behaviour takes discipline.
In this first of a three-part series Jumoke Delano, a multi-jurisdictional lawyer, and former Head of Regulatory Relations at the Abuja Electric Distribution Company, explores the interconnected roles of different players within the power value chain, and their need for cooperation and coordination.
Three Perspectives on Nigeria’s Electricity Tariff Review:
the Utilities, the Climate Change Expert, and the Customer
UKNIAF works to inspire women managers within the Nigerian power sector through the ‘Women on the Grid Hub. Eight trail-blazing women are helping us start this journey.
While electricity in Nigeria is generated through thermal and hydropower, fossil fuels are the main source of electricity generation. Nigeria plans to increase international exports and domestic consumption and at the same time meet emissions and sustainable development goals. Can these two objectives be achieved at the same time? What could be the risks?
Olajumoke Delano, Chi Chi Emenike and Itohan Ehiede discuss these questions with Stella Odiase.
“WATTS with the Grid?” is a conversation with women who work in the power sector.
What do these women think about the current national conversation on tariff increases? How is the Service Based Tariff faring in terms of improvement in service and revenues? How does the price of electricity impact national commitments to a low-carbon transition?
Stella Odiase leads the conversation with Dalia Sakr, Wola Joseph-Condotti, Tosin Adefeko and Olajumoke Delano.
The creation of the Women on the Grid Hub presented the perfect opportunity to capture insights from Women Leaders in Nigeria’s Power Sector.
One such critical conversation was on the challenges in the power sector.
Who are some of these women leaders and what pivotal roles are they playing in the Nigerian electricity industry?
The women on the grid hub is a platform which brings together women at senior policy level in the on-grid space within the power sector. The hub facilitates policy influencing, networking, mentoring, and modelling.
