While there, he will highlight U.S. engagement on Nigeria’s clean energy transition as well as our ongoing support for reforms and decarbonization of Nigeria’s large traditional energy sector. Assistant Secretary Pyatt will hold bilateral meetings with Nigerian government officials and participate in a roundtable with energy companies from the American Business Council. He will also participate in a panel with both private and public sector organizations to discuss ways to accelerate the development of Nigeria’s power sector, including through the Clean Energy Demand Initiative (CEDI), a mechanism to increase corporate investment in clean energy to support economic growth.
